Crops for Certified Organic Pepper Production
Introduction Organic production rose to 2.3 million acres in the U.S. in 2001 (USDA-ERS, 2002). Much of the increase has been associated with the implementation of consistent federal standards for products marketed as “organic” in October 2002 (USDA/AMS, 2002). In order to meet certified organic requirements in the state of Iowa (IDALS, 2000), a soilbuilding cover crop is required for at least ...
متن کاملWeed Control Effi cacy of Organic Mulches in Two Organically Managed Bell Pepper Production Systems
A 2-year field study in Lexington, Ky., evaluated weed control efficacy and infl uence on yields of several organic mulches in two organically managed bell pepper (Capsicum annuum) production systems. Five weed control treatments [straw, compost, wood chips, undersown white dutch clover (Trifolium repens) “living mulch,” and the organically approved herbicide corn gluten] were applied to two pr...
متن کاملPredicting Harvest Labour Allocation in Bell Pepper Production
In the production of tomatoes in greenhouses, a more or less constant number of tomatoes are ready for picking at each harvest time. In the production of bell peppers, however, large fluctuations exist in number of fruits ready to pick. This major problem in bell pepper production is called ‘flushing’: weeks with high yields are alternated by weeks with low yield. This irregular harvest pattern...
متن کاملPlug and Transplant Production for Organic Systems
Since the 1980s, most seed germination has been done in plug trays; by 1998, 81% of annual seedlings were grown from plugs.(1) A plug is a containerized transplant with a self-enclosed root system.(2) The advantages to growing seedlings from plugs are many: less time and labor to transplant, reduced root loss, more uniform growth, faster crop establishment, and increased production. There are d...
