Jalapeño Pepper Cultivar Evaluation, Northern Indiana, 2005, Elizabeth T. Maynard
Jalapeño Pepper Cultivar Evaluation, Northern Indiana, 2005, Elizabeth T. Maynard
Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports
The USDA Agriculture Census for 2002 reported 355 acres of chile peppers, including jalapeños, grown in Indiana. Almost half of the reported acreage is in Lake Co. Based on conversations with Indiana producers, market criteria for jalapeños differ greatly depending on the ultimate consumer. Many major wholesale buyers prefer large peppers with no checking, or cracks. Markets strongly influenced by people of Mexican heritage prefer large, hot, peppers that are cracked when mature. Anthocyanin development is undesirable in both markets. Producers look for varieties that yield large quantities of high quality peppers, and are easily harvested. This paper reports on …

Specialty Tomato Cultivar Trial For Indiana, 2001, Elizabeth Maynard, Dale Rhoads, Sandy Rhoads
Specialty Tomato Cultivar Trial For Indiana, 2001, Elizabeth Maynard, Dale Rhoads, Sandy Rhoads
Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports
Colorful tomato salads are a seasonal menu item for some restaurants. The many colors of tomato fruit available include orange, green, white, yellow and, of course, red. Producers growing for this market have a choice of several cultivars of each color, and sometimes several fruit shapes within a color. Many of the cultivars are open-pollinated but some hybrids are available. Prior experience at Rhoads Farm and elsewhere has shown that many open-pollinated cultivars yield poorly under Indiana conditions, making them an unprofitable crop. The trials presented in this report were established to evaluate tomato cultivars for the restaurant salad market.
Fresh Market Tomato Pruning Trial For Northern Indiana, 2001, Elizabeth Maynard

Fresh Market Tomato Cultivar And Pruning Evaluation For Northern Indiana, 2000, Elizabeth Maynard
Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports
Fresh market tomatoes were evaluated at the Pinney-Purdue Agricultural Center in Wanatah, Indiana. Nine beefsteak types and one roma type were evaluated in a replicated trial. Plants were grown with and without pruning to evaluate pruning effects on yield and fruit quality. The main benefit of pruning is larger fruit size. For some cultivars, there might be an increase in total yield at the first harvest with pruning, as was seen to a small extent for Mt. Spring. Pruning also reduced the incidence of catfacing, especially for early cultivars. The main drawback of pruning is reduced yield. For pruning to …
