Response Of Pepper And Tomato To Six Nitrogen Rates, Ron G. Goldy
Response Of Pepper And Tomato To Six Nitrogen Rates, Ron G. Goldy
Midwest Vegetable Trial Reports
A surprising lack of statistical difference was found for most metrics measured. Similar total yield was found across all fertilizer levels tested for tomato, and for the 100 to 300 pounds nitrogen/acre for peppers, only the 350 pound/acre level had lower total yield. Pepper plant height was stunted by higher nitrogen levels. This lack of differences may indicate that the important factor in nitrogen (and perhaps other nutrients) application is not in how much is applied, but more on how it is applied, especially in conjunction with how the plants are irrigated.

Evaluation Of 19 Specialty Pepper Cultivars In Southwest Michigan, Ron G. Goldy
Midwest Vegetable Trial Reports
All entries evaluated proved to have commercial potential in their category for production in Southwest Michigan. Pepper types with sufficient entries were subjected to statistical analysis for entries within that type. Significant statistical differences were found for the traits evaluated with lunchbox-types showing the largest differences while jalapeno entries showed the least.
Performance Of 20 Bell Pepper Cultivars In Southwest Michigan, Ron G. Goldy
Performance Of 20 Bell Pepper Cultivars In Southwest Michigan, Ron G. Goldy
Midwest Vegetable Trial Reports
Differences in all traits measured were found in the 20 entries. Total yield ranged from 745 to 1125 – 1.25-bushel cartons/acre, a range that is somewhat lower than expected due to late planting and high temperatures shortly after transplanting and during fruit maturation. Four entries, 10374 (PanAmerican Seeds), 10868 (PanAmerican Seeds), USAP17699 USAgri Seeds), and Regulator (Enza Zaden) stood out as strong possibilities for growers to plant for commercial production.
