In the growing and processing of canning peas there are many factors which influence yield and quality. Of these, the stage of maturity is possibly the most important. Beyond the stage of maximum quality, peas continue to grow in size and yields increase but quality decreases. Consequently, both growers and processors are definitely interested in knowing the stage of maturity at which peas should be harvested for the greatest yield of acceptable quality. Peas harvested and processed at that stage should give both growers and canners the maximum returns if grading methods are satisfactory and price schedules equitable.

Bulletin No. 327 - Utah Agricultural Experiment Station Biennial Report, 1944-1946, R. H. Walker

UAES Bulletins

During the past biennium there has been a general expansion in the research program of the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station.

The emergency caused a re-examination of the research program, old projects, no longer urgent were weeded out, others were revised to meet the needs of the changing times, and many new projects were initiated to extend the research …
