Evaluation Of Pumpkin Cultivars No-Till Direct-Seeded And No-Till Transplanted Into Wheat Stubble, Indiana 2004, Elizabeth T. Maynard Jan 2005

Evaluation Of Pumpkin Cultivars No-Till Direct-Seeded And No-Till Transplanted Into Wheat Stubble, Indiana 2004, Elizabeth T. Maynard

Midwest Vegetable Trial Reports

Double-cropping pumpkins after wheat provides an opportunity to harvest a high-value crop off of land that might otherwise remain uncropped. In northern Indiana, many jacko- lantern pumpkin cultivars may not mature quickly enough to produce a crop when planted in mid-July. This project compared yield and fruit size of eight cultivars or lines when they were either direct-seeded or transplanted into wheat stubble.

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 Dec 2001

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 …

Specialty Tomato Cultivar Trial For Indiana, 2001, Elizabeth Maynard, Dale Rhoads, Sandy Rhoads Dec 2001

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.
