24 SUMMARY Compact plant type tropical pumpkin inbreds have been developed Hybrids have been constructed between compact plant inbreds (SS) and vining and compact plant inbreds (SV) Heterosis has been shown SS hybrids produce compact plants, SV hybrids develop intermediate length vines SV hybrids are earlier than SS hybrids and produce larger, but more variable fruit Compact plants permit greater plant density and higher concentrated yields per unit area
