Cultivation and Uses of Cucurbits

The family cucurbitaceae is an extremely interesting and in many ways unusual, family of dicotyledons, including about 90 genera and more than 700 species which are widely distributed over in many parts of the world. This group includes a large number of vegetable fruit crops and all are trailing vine crops, grown during summer season but some can be grown during rainy periods. The plants in this family are grown around the tropics and in temperate areas, where those with edible fruits were among the earliest cultivated plants in both the Old and New Worlds. The Cucurbitaceae family ranks among the highest of plant families for number and percentage of species used as human food.
