This USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Project Grant to Cornell University will fund research to develop and evaluate new high-yielding and disease-resistant cucumber cultivars. Specifically, the project will quantitatively assess the yield and resistance of two new cucumber varieties, DMR 264 and DMR401, under conventional and organic growing conditions. The project will also facilitate the adoption of these cultivars by seed companies through the generation of foundation seed and production information. The total funding amount is $450,312, and the project will run from June 2024 through May 2027. No sub-awards were indicated.
