Sugar-Enhanced Sweet Corn Cultivar Evaluation For Northern Indiana, 2008, Elizabeth T. Maynard
Sugar-Enhanced Sweet Corn Cultivar Evaluation For Northern Indiana, 2008, Elizabeth T. Maynard
Midwest Vegetable Trial Reports
"Indiana growers harvested sweet corn for fresh market sales from 5,400 acres in 2007, according to the Indiana Agricultural Statistics Service. Average yield was 85 cwt/A (202 crates/A) and the crop had a total value of $10.5 million. Sweet corn fields are located throughout the state. In northern Indiana, bicolor corn is most commonly grown. Varieties with improved eating quality are of interest to both producers and consumers. Producers are also interested in yield, ear size, appearance, and agronomic characteristics. This paper reports on 12 sugar enhanced and synergistic sweet corn cultivars that were evaluated at the Pinney-Purdue Agricultural Center …
On-Farm Evaluation Of Tomato Cultivars For Disease Resistance, 2008, Elizabeth Maynard, Butch Zandstra, Dan Egel
On-Farm Evaluation Of Tomato Cultivars For Disease Resistance, 2008, Elizabeth Maynard, Butch Zandstra, Dan Egel
Midwest Vegetable Trial Reports
"Bacterial spot of tomatoes (Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria) causes lesions on leaves, stems and fruit. Under conditions of hot, humid, rainy weather, defoliation can result in a loss of yield. In addition, lesions on fruit result in a direct loss of marketability. This disease is managed primarily with applications of fixed copper bactericides, crop rotations, greenhouse sanitation, and healthy seed/transplants. Even in properly managed commercial fields, however, bacterial spot can cause yield losses. Although there are no varieties with complete resistance to bacterial spot, we report here the results of an on-farm trial that indicates some varieties may have partial …

Pumpkin Cultivar Observation Trial, Indiana 2007, Elizabeth T. Maynard
Pumpkin Cultivar Observation Trial, Indiana 2007, Elizabeth T. Maynard
Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports
"Pumpkins for decorative use are grown on more than 4,000 acres in Indiana. Combined acreage in Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, and Ohio represents about a quarter of pumpkins grown for decorative use in the United States. Successful pumpkin production requires the use of cultivars that yield well and produce pumpkins of the size, shape, color, and quality demanded by the market. There is keen interest in cultivars that also show resistance to powdery mildew. This trial was conducted to observe the performance of jack-o-lantern, pie, and mini-pumpkin cultivars in northern Indiana."

Sweet Corn Population Effects On Yield And Ear Quality, 2007, Elizabeth T. Maynard
Sweet Corn Population Effects On Yield And Ear Quality, 2007, Elizabeth T. Maynard
Midwest Vegetable Trial Reports
"Current recommendations for fresh market sweet corn suggest row spacing of 30 to 40 inches and in-row spacing of 8 to 10 inches for early varieties and 9 to 12 inches for late varieties. This corresponds to populations from 13,068 to 26,136 plants per acre. Variety trials at Pinney-Purdue Agricultural Center have been planted at row spacings of 30 or 36 inches and populations of 20,328 plants per acre. Some cultivars may perform well at higher populations. This trial was conducted to evaluate yield and ear characteristics of two cultivars at populations up to 50% higher than normally used in …
Weed Control In No-Till Pumpkins, Elizabeth T. Maynard
Weed Control In No-Till Pumpkins, Elizabeth T. Maynard
Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports
"No-till production systems for pumpkins are of interest to Midwest producers, but achieving acceptable weed control without cultivation can be difficult. Research was conducted in Wanatah, Indiana in 2007 to evaluate postemergence weed control options for pumpkins no-till planted into a fall-seeded, spring-killed winter wheat cover crop. Weeds in no-till pumpkins were controlled reasonably well with a preemergence herbicide (Strategy®) followed by a hooded sprayer, row-middle application of a nonselective, nonresidual herbicide (glyphosate). Weed control, yield, and fruit size with this treatment were comparable to conventional tillage with a preemergence herbicide (Strategy®) and one cultivation. Hand weeding could be substituted …

Jalapeño Pepper Cultivar Evaluation, Northern Indiana, 2005, Elizabeth T. Maynard
Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports
The USDA Agriculture Census for 2002 reported 355 acres of chile peppers, including jalapeños, grown in Indiana. Almost half of the reported acreage is in Lake Co. Based on conversations with Indiana producers, market criteria for jalapeños differ greatly depending on the ultimate consumer. Many major wholesale buyers prefer large peppers with no checking, or cracks. Markets strongly influenced by people of Mexican heritage prefer large, hot, peppers that are cracked when mature. Anthocyanin development is undesirable in both markets. Producers look for varieties that yield large quantities of high quality peppers, and are easily harvested. This paper reports on …

The Indiana Agricultural Statistics Service reported that tomatoes for fresh market sales were harvested from 1,700 acres in Indiana in 2004 and had a total value of $21 million. Tomato fields are located throughout the state. Traditional wholesale buyers look for a large, firm, round tomato that will be red when ripe. Tomato growers are interested in identifying cultivars that show resistance to common foliar diseases like early blight and bacterial spot. Eleven semideterminate large-fruited red tomato varieties were evaluated in a replicated trial at the Pinney-Purdue Agricultural Center in Wanatah, Indiana. Four indeterminate varieties reported to be resistant to …
