Courgette

Courgette belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family, species Cucurbita pepo, and it is an annual herbaceous plant with a creeping nature. The fruit is a fleshy berry, with no central cavity, green or yellow. Its skin is smooth and very sensitive to chafing. It is elongated, cylindrical and with very short peduncle. Fruit is harvested approximately when it is halfway through its development.

Climate: Courgette can support high temperatures, making it less demanding than melon, cucumber and watermelon.

  • Germination: Optimum temperature 20-25°C, minimum temperature 15°C and maximum temperature 40°C.

  • Vegetative Growth: Optimum temperature 25-30°C, minimum temperature 10°C and maximum temperature 35°C.

  • Flowering: Optimum temperature 20-25°C, minimum temperature 10°C and maximum temperature 35°C.

Soil: It adapts easily to all types of soils, although it prefers loamy, deep and well drained soils. It is a very organic matter demanding plant.

Humidity: Optimum relative air humidity is between 65% and 80%.

Light: It is a very luminosity demanding plant, so that a greater insolation will lead to an increasing production.

pH: 5-7

Carbon dioxide in greenhouses: 1,500 p.p.m. of CO2 increase production and precocity.
