Harris Moran unveils new varieties

Four new Harris Moran squash varieties feature tough disease packages to ward off yield-robbing viruses along with powdery mildew. They also feature excellent fruit quality, high yields, superior uniformity, great color and exceptional shipping ability of fruit.

Cougar, an industry first, with tolerance to ZYMV, WMV II and PRSV plus the precocious yellow gene which helps resist the greening effects of CMV. Cougar is quickly becoming the choice of top growers.

HMX 0709*, the first of an advanced generation of squash varieties with tolerance to ZYMV, WMV II, PRSV and CMV. It incorporates a green stem for added contrast and eye appeal in the box, which some areas specifically ask for.

HMX 0710*, a medium green zucchini developed especially for the Eastern US.
This variety is creating a buzz of excitement because of its PM tolerance combined with the Harris Moran level of tolerance to ZYMV, WMV II and PRSV.

Lynx (formerly HMX 8714), a new medium green zucchini designed with the same level of protection against ZYMV, WMV II and PRSV as our industry standard, Tigress, but with a stronger plant and an outstanding increase in fruit quality.

As growers continue to choose disease tolerant cultivars to protect profits, Harris Moran breeder Ted Superak continues to breed for increased levels of disease resistance and multiple levels of disease protection.
