Overview
Type 1406 is a parthenocarpic zucchini that was once sold by Cook's Garden. Since it sets fruit without pollination, you can start it early under row covers before bees are active, and you can keep the covers on all season to shut out cucumber beetles without losing yield. That is a real advantage where beetles spread bacterial wilt or virus. Seed may be hard to find today.
