Abstract
Significant differences in resistance to the red pumpkin beetle were observed among summer squash lines in both field and cage experiments. Broad sense heritability estimates were 0.87 and 0.78 for field and cage assessments respectively. Significant positive rank (rs=0.96) and phenotypic (rp=0.76) correlations were observed. Cage evaluation of red pumpkin beetle resistance may be used with confidence in selection programmes of red pumpkin beetle resistance.
