Characteristics of Good Quality Transplants | Apr 24, 2015 | 2906-1383 (AREC-141NP) | |||
Potato Seed Selection and Management | Selection of good quality seed is essential for Virginia growers. We often plant under less than ideal growing conditions in cold, wet soils. Seed need to be disease-free, physiologically young, handled gently and stored with care. Select disease-free seed lots. Commercial lots of seed must be inspected upon arrival by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Inspection Service. Avoid planting seed pieces with scab lesions as seed-borne scab can contaminate fields without a prior history of scab. |

Specialty Crop Profile: Globe Artichoke | Globe artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) is an herbaceous
perennial that is grown for its tender, edible, immature
flower buds. The globe artichoke should not be confused
with Jerusalem artichoke, another member of the composite
family native to North America, which is grown
for its fleshy tubers. Globe artichoke plants can become
large: four to five feet tall and wide, with long, heavily
serrated silvery green leaves (Figure 1a). |

Forced-Air Produce Cooler | Field heat removal from freshly harvested produce is critical
for subsequent handling and storage. Heat removal
should be done immediately after harvest to maximize
storage potential of the produce. The longer heat removal
is delayed, the shorter the shelf life. Force air cooling has
been design to remove field heat to bring the produce
temperature down to the storage temperature. |

2018 Mid-Atlantic Commercial Vegetable Production Recommendations | New varieties and strains of vegetables are constantly
being developed throughout the world and it is impossible to
list and describe all of them, only those that are available and
are adapted to the mid-Atlantic region are listed in this
publication. |

Southeastern U.S. 2018 Vegetable Crop Handbook | New varieties and strains of particular varieties of vegetables are
constantly being developed throughout the world. Since it is impossible
to list and describe all of them, only some of the better
performing commercial types are listed in the specific crop section,
either alphabetically or in order of relative maturity from early to
late. These varieties are believed to be suitable for commercial production
under most conditions. |
