Fresh Market Tomato Cultivar Evaluation For Northern Indiana, 1999, Elizabeth Maynard
Fresh Market Tomato Cultivar Evaluation For Northern Indiana, 1999, Elizabeth Maynard
Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports
Fresh market tomatoes were evaluated at the Pinney-Purdue Ag Center in Wanatah, Indiana. Fourteen cultivars were evaluated in a replicated trial, and 26 cultivars in an unreplicated observation trial. Half of the plants of each cultivar were pruned, and half were not, to evaluate pruning effects on yield and fruit quality. In the replicated trial, averaged over all cultivars,
pruning reduced yield of No. 1 fruit by 41%, increased fruit size by 19%, and increased percentage of cull fruit by one-third. The effect of pruning on early yield depended on the cultivar. Based on these results, pruning would be advised …

Field Evaluation Of Herbicides On Small Fruit, Vegetable, And Ornamental Crops, 1998, Ron E. Talbert, Lance A. Schmidt, Jennifer A. Wells
Field Evaluation Of Herbicides On Small Fruit, Vegetable, And Ornamental Crops, 1998, Ron E. Talbert, Lance A. Schmidt, Jennifer A. Wells
Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Series
Growers generally use herbicides to efficiently produce high-quality fruit and vegetables for processing or fresh market sales. Due to the smaller acreage of these crops compared to major field crops, fewer herbicides are registered for use in fruit and vegetable crops than for field crops. Each year, new herbicides are evaluated under Arkansas growing conditions with the objective of improving the herbicide technology for the grower, processor, and ultimately the consumer. This report includes studies on the control of many of the more serious weed problems in important crops of this region, including snapbeans, spinach, southernpeas, watermelon, cantaloupe, summer squash, …
