Abstract
Penghu 5 (breeding line was named Penghu hybrid 34) was crossed from KPS17 x KPS19 line 1998. After a series of selection and yield trials, conducted throughout in Penghu area, the experimental results showed that this F1 variety had early maturing, uniform fruit shape and higher yield. The growth duration from transplanting to flowering was about 31 days in spring crops and 27 days in summer crops, which was 1 to 2 days earlier than local variety. Fruit weight of 2.4~2.9 Kg, which is suitable for small family consumption. The average yield was 10.6% higher than control variety Chi-tou. The seed number and 100 seeds weight of this variety was 40.0% and 45.0% lower than the variety Chi-tou respectively. However, sugar content was 1 to 2 °Brix higher than the check variety, with good quality and tasting. It is recommended to growers that Penghu 5 can grow both in spring and summer crops in Penghu.
