Supersweet Sweet Corn Cultivar Evaluation For Northern Indiana, 2005, Elizabeth T. Maynard
Supersweet Sweet Corn Cultivar Evaluation For Northern Indiana, 2005, Elizabeth T. Maynard
Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports
The Indiana Agricultural Statistics Service reports that sweet corn for fresh market sales was harvested from 5,400 acres in Indiana in 2004 and had a total value of $11 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 and appearance, and agronomic characteristics. This paper reports on twenty sh2 sweet corn cultivars known as ‘supersweet’ or ‘enhanced’ or ‘augmented supersweet’ that were evaluated at the Pinney-Purdue Ag Center, Wanatah, IN.
Bell Pepper Cultivar Evaluation, Northern Indiana, 2005, Elizabeth T. Maynard
Bell Pepper Cultivar Evaluation, Northern Indiana, 2005, Elizabeth T. Maynard
Midwest Vegetable Trial Reports
The USDA Agriculture Census for 2002 reported 225 acres of bell peppers grown in Indiana. Production is scattered across the state, with greater concentrations of farms in northern counties. Wholesale prices are highest for large, blocky peppers. Eight bell pepper cultivars were evaluated at the Pinney-Purdue Ag Center in Wanatah, Indiana. Characteristics of interest included yield, and fruit quality, size and shape.
Fresh Market Tomato Cultivar Evaluation For Northern Indiana, 2005, Elizabeth T. Maynard
Fresh Market Tomato Cultivar Evaluation For Northern Indiana, 2005, Elizabeth T. Maynard
Midwest Vegetable Trial Reports
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 …
Jalapeño Pepper Cultivar Evaluation, Northern Indiana, 2005, Elizabeth T. Maynard
Jalapeño Pepper Cultivar Evaluation, Northern Indiana, 2005, Elizabeth T. Maynard
Midwest Vegetable Trial 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 …
