Temperature and humidity affect pillowy fruit disorder in cucumber.

A study was designed to determine whether temperature alone or temperature and relative humidity (RH) interactions affect the development of pillowy fruit disorder (PFD) in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). Fruit of 'Calypso', 'Flurry', 'Cardina', and inbred breeding line 39 were matured in four environments: cyclic and high (22 to 45C) and moderate(22 to 30C) temperatures at two RHs (35% and 75%). PFD symptoms were most severe at high temperature and RH; thus, both contribute to the development of this disorder. Line 39 had the highest PFD ratings, regardless of growing environment, a results indicating that cultigens respond differently to these imposed stresses.
