Specialty Tomato Variety Observation Trial For Indiana, 2002, Elizabeth Maynard
Specialty Tomato Variety Observation Trial For Indiana, 2002, Elizabeth Maynard
Midwest Vegetable Trial Reports
The trial reported here is an extension of the specialty tomato trials conducted in Indiana in 2001. In that trial, 16 varieties were grown in replicated trials in two locations to evaluate their performance and suitability for the restaurant salad market. In this trial, the same 16 varieties plus an additional 17 varieties were grown in unreplicated plots for evaluation of yield and culinary quality.
Plant Spacing Demonstration Plot With Jack-O-Lantern And Giant Pumpkins, Elizabeth Maynard
Plant Spacing Demonstration Plot With Jack-O-Lantern And Giant Pumpkins, Elizabeth Maynard
Midwest Vegetable Trial Reports
Plant spacing is known to influence the size of pumpkins. To demonstrate this influence two jack-o-lantern cultivars and two giant pumpkin cultivars were grown at narrow and wide in-row spacings at Coulter's Farm in Westville, Indiana.
Fresh Market Tomato Cultivar And Pruning Evaluation For Northern Indiana, 2000, Elizabeth Maynard
Fresh Market Tomato Cultivar And Pruning Evaluation For Northern Indiana, 2000, Elizabeth Maynard
Midwest Vegetable Trial 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 …
Pumpkin Cultivar Performance In Northern Indiana, 2001, Elizabeth Maynard
Pumpkin Cultivar Performance In Northern Indiana, 2001, Elizabeth Maynard
Midwest Vegetable Trial Reports
Pumpkin cultivars and lines were evaluated in plots at Coulter's Farm in Westville, Indiana. This paper presents yield, fruit number, and average fruit size for twenty-one jack-o-lantern types and five pie types.
Fresh Market Tomato Cultivar Observation Trial For Northern Indiana, 2001, Elizabeth Maynard
Fresh Market Tomato Cultivar Observation Trial For Northern Indiana, 2001, Elizabeth Maynard
Midwest Vegetable Trial Reports
Fresh market tomatoes were grown in an unreplicated trial at the Pinney-Purdue Agricultural Center in Wanatah, Indiana. The trial included 11 red beefsteak types, one yellow stuffing type, and one smallfruited yellow type. Yield and average fruit number are reported.
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
Midwest Vegetable Trial 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.
Supersweet Sweet Corn Cultivar Evaluation For Northern Indiana, 2001, Elizabeth Maynard
Supersweet Sweet Corn Cultivar Evaluation For Northern Indiana, 2001, Elizabeth Maynard
Midwest Vegetable Trial Reports
Thirty-three supersweet (sh2) sweet corn cultivars were evaluated at the Pinney-Purdue Ag Center, Wanatah, IN. Yield, ear size, and ear quality are reported.
Fresh Market Tomato Pruning Trial For Northern Indiana, 2001, Elizabeth Maynard
Fresh Market Tomato Pruning Trial For Northern Indiana, 2001, Elizabeth Maynard
Midwest Vegetable Trial Reports
Pruning tomatoes is known to increase average fruit size and decrease total yield. Effects on marketable yield and early yield vary among cultivars and with the degree of pruning. This trial was conducted to evaluate a range of pruning treatments on two cultivars grown in the Midwest: Mountain Spring and Florida 91. Florida 91 has a larger vine and is later-maturing than Mountain Spring. The trial was conducted at the Pinney-Purdue Agricultural Center in Wanatah, Indiana.

Pumpkin Cultivar Performance In Northern Indiana, 2000, Elizabeth Maynard
Midwest Vegetable Trial Reports
Pumpkin cultivars were evaluated in plots at County Line Orchard in Hobart, Indiana. Yield, fruit number, and average fruit weight for sixteen jack-o-lantern types, seven pie types, three mini pumpkins, and six specialty pumpkins are presented in this paper.
Fresh Market Tomato Cultivar Evaluation For Northern Indiana, 1999, Elizabeth Maynard
Fresh Market Tomato Cultivar Evaluation For Northern Indiana, 1999, Elizabeth Maynard
Midwest Vegetable Trial 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 …
