VALLEJO C, Franco Alirio et al. Unapal- Dorado, pumpkin new cultivar with high dry matter for fresh consumption. Acta Agron. [online]. 2010, vol.59, n.2, pp.127-134. ISSN 0120-2812.

From three diallelic crossings, among populations with different degree of inbreeding (S0 x S0; S1 x S1; S2 x S2), 11 family with high dry matter, production by plant and fruit quality for consumption in fresh were selected. Two cycles of genetic recombination and selection were carried out. Four selected genotypes were evaluated the Centro Experimental de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia sede Palmira (CEUNP). The genotype of better performance was evaluated comparatively with others six families, including the control Unapal Bolo Verde, in regional tests, in three localities of the Valle del Cauca, during two consecutive semesters (2008 B - 2009A). By its excellent behavior in production (15 kg/planta), content of dry matter (higher than 16%), 3,5 kg by fruit, and five fruits by plant, quality of fruit for consumption in fresh, this family of better performance originated the pumpkin new cultivar, with the commercial name of Unapal Dorado.
