Pb1689-So You Want To Grow Grapes In Tennessee, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service
Pb1689-So You Want To Grow Grapes In Tennessee, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service
Commercial Horticulture
Tennessee has a long history of grape production. Most recently, passage of the Farm Winery Act in 1978 stimuated an upsurge of interest in grape production. If you are considering growing grapes, the following information may be useful to you.
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 Observation Trial For Northern Indiana, 2001, Elizabeth Maynard
Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research 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
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 Pruning Trial For Northern Indiana, 2001, Elizabeth Maynard
Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research 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.

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 …

Herbicide Evaluation In Arkansas Cotton 2000, Marilyn Mcclelland, Jim Barrentine, Ken Smith, Nilda Burgos
Herbicide Evaluation In Arkansas Cotton 2000, Marilyn Mcclelland, Jim Barrentine, Ken Smith, Nilda Burgos
Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Series
Herbicidal weed control is economically important for production of cotton. Field experiments are conducted annually in Arkansas to evaluate the activity of developmental and commercial herbicides for selective control of weeds in cotton. These experiments serve both industry and Arkansas agriculture by providing information on the selectivity of herbicides still in the developmental stage and by comparing the activity of these new herbicides with that of recommended herbicides.

Biological Control As A Tool For Ecosystem Management, David H. Headrick, Richard D. Goeden
Biological Control As A Tool For Ecosystem Management, David H. Headrick, Richard D. Goeden
Horticulture and Crop Science
Biological control is proposed as a tool useful for ecosystem management and compatible with the goals of often competing interests regarding the restoration and maintenance of ecosystems. We summarize the effects of introduced species on ecosystems in three broad groups: insects, vertebrates, and weeds. We then discuss the role of biological control for each of these groups in the context of ecosystem management and realistic outcomes. Of the three groups, we show that biological control of weeds appears to have the best chance for success in ecosystem management. We provide two case studies to support our ideas and finally discuss …
