Excerpt: ... FERTILIZER EXPERIMENTS with VEGETABLECROPS 47 SUMMARY Results of fertilizer experiments with vegetable crops at the MainStation, Auburn, and at seven outlying points in the State are reported in this bulletin. Nine soil types and 27 different crops were involved in the study. The studies were confined to rates of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash and to different rates and grades of fertilizers. A major portion of the work was done at the Main Station in field bins filled with soils shipped in from several agricultural sectionsof the State. A few of the experiments at the Main Station and all of those at outlying points were conducted in field plots. Only one crop was grown each year in field plots; either two or three successive crops were grown in field bins. In all experiments certain rates of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash considered adequate to measure the requirements of each crop or group of crops were established. The full amounts of nitrogen were applied to each crop. Where two successive crops w ...

Is there anything special I should put in? Let me try to address some of these questions. Protective fungicides: Such chemicals include Bravo, Echo, Dithane, Penncozeb, Maneb 80, Manex, Ziram 76DF etc. These products should be the bulk of your pesticide applications. Most pesticide applications will consist only of the protective chemical of your choice. If you are a watermelon or muskmelon grower in southwest Indiana you may rely on MELCAST to tell you when to apply these chemicals. Note: ...

Integrated
Ohio State, B 672
Excerpt: ... Integrated Insect, Mite and Disease Management on Vegetable Crops IPM, to many people, means integrated insect and mite pest management. These are not the only pest problems. Plant pathogens and weeds are pests that can cause severe injury to most field and greenhouse-grown vegetable crops . A better term for IPM is integrated crop health management, which tends to broaden the concept for most people to include plant disease management. Whatever this system is called, it simply means that we use as many methods as possible to minimize problems caused by insects, mites and plant diseases. These methods include cultural, mechanical, physical, environmental, chemical (=pesticides), and biological controls. The components of integrated crop health management, discussed individually below, must be used in a systematic way. All of the management tactics must include a monitoring program to detect problems before they get out of control. For insects and mites, this will mean a trapping and scouting program for pest d ...

Excerpt: ... idual demand curve shown on the right except that it is the total of such individual demand curves Causes of demand shifts (Determinants of Demand): Substitutes: Pairs of goods that are used in place of each other (e.g. hot dogs and hamburgers). Complements: Pairs of goods that are used together (e.g. gasoline and automobiles). Tastes: Consumer tastes usually influence demand of certain products. Expectations: Consumer expectations of the prices of certain products are also influential factors in what products are demanded. Number of Buyers: Increased population (more demanders) usu. increases the overall demand of products (and vice-versa). Futures: Goods/services that will be utilized in the future (e.g. fruit and vegetable crops ) usually influence demand due to consumer predictions about those futures that will prosper and those that won't. A futures contract usually reduces consumer risk and helps consumers make more viable predictions. Supply Curve P Lower price = Lower quantity supplied Higher price ...

Excerpt: ... e grown, one-third was applied to each crop. The full amount of nitrogen was applied to each crop. All phosphorus and potash and a portion of the nitrogen were applied 10 to 14 days before planting. On the older sets of bins containing Norfolk, Eutaw, and Cecil soils, one-half of the nitrogen was applied with the phosphorus and potash; the other half was used as a side dressing 2 to 4 weeks after. crops were up to a stand. Superphosphate was used as the source of phosphorus and muriate of potash as the source of potassium. Nitrate of soda or a combination of nitrate of soda and ammonium sulphate was used as a source of nitrogen. The position of the rows remained about the same from year to year. During the course of the experiment, 27 different vegetable crops were studied in the phosphorus, nitrogen, and potash series in the old plots. From 7 to 13 crops were included in the fertilizer grade studies in the new bins. As previously reported (20), field bins used in this study were satisfactory as compared to f ...

Excerpt: ... . Vegetable and ornamental crops are often more sensitive to herbicide carryover than field crops. To reduce the potential of herbicide carryover, read and follow all pesticide label directions. Herbicide labels contain restrictions on the interval between application and planting of various crops. Consult the current version of MSU Extension bulletin E-433, Weed Control Guide for Vegetable Crops , for more information on herbicides. Postemergence Herbicide Applications Postemergence herbicide applications are applied to the foliage of the weeds after the crop and weeds have emerged. There are two types of postemergence herbicides: contact and systemic. Contact herbicides kill only the plant parts that they touch. Typically, the aboveground parts of a weed, such as the leaves and stems, turn brown and die. Contact herbicides are commonly used to control annuals. Systemic or translocated herbicides are absorbed by the weed's roots or leaves and moved throughout the plant. Translocated herbicides are more effec ...

VEGETABLE CROPS HOTLINE A newsletter for commercial vegetable growers prepared by the Purdue University Cooperative Extension Service Chris Gunter, Editor (812) 886-0198 gunter@hort.purdue.edu SOUTHWESTERN CORN BORER IN SOUTHERN INDIANA (Frankie Lam) - During the last week of May, southwestern corn borers were collected by the black-light traps at Southwest Purdue Agricultural Center in Knox County and Southern Indiana Purdue Agricultural Center in Dubois County. The adults of the southwestern corn borer are white moths with light tan scales along the veins of the wings. The moths are about 3/4 inch long. The summer larvae are white with distinct dark brown to black spots, whereas the overwintering larvae are nearly all white in color and are without spots. The southwestern corn borer is one of the most serious insect pests of corn. It occurs across the entire southern Corn Belt from Arizona to Georgia. A few years ago it was found in southern Indiana. The borer has two or more generations per year and its b ...

Excerpt: ... CROP DISTRIBUTION GUIDELINES Discussion points, draft #1 Fair Oaks Horticulture Center October 2006 The following concerns have been voiced repeatedly during the past few years: 1. Too much of the fruit and vegetable crops are going to waste. 2. Picking is taking place at times when the crop was intended for a specific use. 3. Some Master Gardeners may be picking excessively large amounts for personal use. 4. There is confusion on when and how much of a crop can be picked by people not in the specific Project Group. 5. Lack of awareness of who would like to eat the crops. 6. There is a perception that the crops are for the exclusive use of a particular Project Group. Excess crop distribution options 1. UCCE office (Master Gardeners, office staff, office visitors) 2. FORPD office and maintenance yard 3. Master Gardener monthly meetings 4. Food banks, retirement homes 5. Place crops in a specified location (table near the shed). 6. Post signs at the crop site noting when and how much of a crop can be picked. 7. ...

Excerpt: ... araugus and Chautauqua Counties has prompted some Amish farms to convert some of their field crop acreage to fresh vegetable production. This has created a need for these farms to understand production and pest management practices for both field crops and vegetable crops . It has also created the challenge of balancing field crop production requirements with the enhanced income potential from fresh market vegetable production for the farm. Background and Justification: The establishment of a local produce auction, expansion of farmers' markets, and success of roadside stands in Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Counties has raised the interest of Amish farmers along the border of these two counties in vegetable production. Several farms have taken a portion of their land that was in field crop production and started raising fresh market vegetables. This has presented two challenges to these farms. First, they have limited experience in growing vegetables commercially, creating the need for training on cultural and p ...
