Vegetable variety trials research highlight published

Find out what’s happening with the UAF vegetable variety trials in the newest Agroborealis Research Highlight.

Project director Heidi Rader coordinated limited trials at the Georgeson Botanical Garden in 2017, but the trials expanded in 2018 with 30 varieties of beets, carrots and celery. Varieties of beans, Brussels sprouts, corn and watermelon were also evaluated for further testing.

The trials will expand to the Matanuska Experiment Farm in Palmer this year. Read about what the trials evaluated and where to find detailed results.

Agroborealis Research Highlights are published online twice yearly by the Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station and School of Natural Resources and Extension at www.uaf.edu/snre/agroborealis. The two-page highlights are downloadable.
