Plant Spacing Demonstration Plot With Jack-O-Lantern And Giant Pumpkins, Elizabeth Maynard Dec 2001

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 Evaluation For Northern Indiana, 1999, Elizabeth Maynard Dec 1999

Fresh Market Tomato Cultivar Evaluation For Northern Indiana, 1999, Elizabeth Maynard

Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research 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 …
