This report summarizes the vegetable variety evaluations of the Horticulture Department of the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, 1982. Variety trials were all conducted at the Agricultural Experiment Station’s research farm at Fairbanks. The objective of this research is to select varieties of vegetables that are adapted to this environment. It also identifies types whose adaptability may be improved through development of improved cultural techniques. The selection effort is directed at finding varieties useful to both the commercial growers and home gardeners.Introduction -- Table 1:Climatic Data for the Fairbanks Growing Season: 1981, 1982, and the Long-Term Average -- Table 2: Broccoli Variety Trials, Upland, 1982 -- Table 3: Brussels Sprouts Variety Trials, Upland, 1982 -- Table 4: Cabbage Variety Trials, Upland, 1982 -- Table 5: Carrot Variety Trials, Bottomland, 1982 -- Table 6: Cauliflower Variety Trials, Upland, 1982 -- Table 7: Celery Variety Trials, Upland, 1982 -- Table 9: Eggplant Variety Trials, Upland, 1982 -- Table 10: Green Pea Variety Trials, Bottomland, 1982 -- Table 11: Crisphead Lettuce Variety Trials, Bottomland, 1982 -- Table 12: Pepper Variety Trials, Upland, 1982 -- Table 13: Potato Variety Trials, Bottomland Peat, 1982 -- Table 14: Pumpkin Variety Trials, Upland, 1982 -- Table 15: Snapbean Variety Trials, Upland, 1982 -- Table 16: Summer Squash Variety Trials, Upland, 1982 -- Table 17: Winter Squash Variety Trials, Upland, 1982 -- Table 18: Sweet Corn Variety Trials, Upland, 1982 -- Table 19: Tomato Variety Trials, Upland, 1982 -- Table 20: Container Tomato Variety Trials, 1982 -- Table 12: Miscellaneous Vegetables Tested -- Seed Source

This report summarizes evaluations of vegetable varieties conducted by the Horticultural Research Program of the University of Alaska-Fairbanks. The objective of this research is to select varieties of vegetables that are adapted to the environment of interior Alaska. Vegetable crops whose adaptability may be improved through development of improved cultural techniques are also identified. The selection effort is directed at finding varieties useful to both commercial growers and home gardeners. Varieties are chosen for inclusion in the variety tests on the basis of their description, the latitude of origin, and the record of the plant-breeding programs for producing kinds that have previously been found adapted. Standard recommended varieties are included in the trials for comparison.Introduction -- Weather Summary, 1985 -- Table 1.

CES P-143

This report summarizes the vegetable variety evaluations of the Horticulture Department of the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, 1979. Variety trials were conducted at the Agricultural Experiment Station’s research farm. The objective of this research is to select varieties of vegetables that are adapted to this environment. It also identifies types whose adaptability may be improved through development of cultural techniques. The selection effort is directed at finding varieties useful to commercial and home garden growers.Varieties are chosen for inclusion in the variety tests on the basis of their description, their latitude of origin, and the record o f the plant-breeding program for producing kinds that have previously been found adapted. Standard recommended varieties are included for comparison. In the past, the vegetable variety evaluation program has been responsible for a continuous improvement in yields, quality, and dependability for many vegetable crops. Our philosophy is to depend upon the many existing plant-breeding programs instead of investing in an expensive, on-site, plant-breeding program . Progress can be made more rapidly by selection than by breeding.Introduction -- Growing-Season Summary: Table 1: Rainfall by Month During the 1979 Growing S e a s o n; Table 2: Broccoli Variety Trials, Upland, 1979; Table 3: Cabbage Variety Trials, Upland, 1 9 79; Table 4: Carrot Variety Trials, Bottom land, 1979; Table 5: Cauliflower Variety Trials, Upland, 1979; Table 6: Cucumber Variety Trials, Upland, 1979; Table 7: Green Pea Variety Trials, 1979; Table 8: Lettuce Variety Trials, Bottom land, 1979; Table 9: Pepper Variety Trials, Upland, 1979; Table 10: Potato Variety Trials, Bottom land, 1979; T able 11: Pumpkin Variety Trials, Upland, 1979; Table 12: Snapbean Variety Trials, 1979; Table 13: Squash, Summer Variety Trials, Upland, 1979; Table 14: Squash, Winter Variety Trials, Upland, 1979; Table 15: Sweet Corn Variety Trials, Upland, 1979; Table 16: Tomato Variety Trials, Upland, 1979; Table 17: Tomato Variety Trials Without Plastic Mulch, Upland, 1979; Miscellaneous Vegetables Tested; Seed Sources

Variety trials of broccoli in organic farms

The aim of the organic variety trials on year 2004 was to find good varieties for organic broccoli production and varieties which stand covering cloths as long as possible nearly until harvest

Cereal variety trials

Each year cereal variety trials are conducted on the wheatbelt research stations with the object of determining the most suitable varieties which can be recommended for planting under Western Australian conditions. The location of the five wheatbelt research stations is such that the results obtained from trials on these stations present a reasonably overall picture for the wheatbelt and the farmer is able, by comparison with his own soil and climatic conditions, to translate the results for himself

Tomato Variety Trials

Trial tests of hybrids developed at the South Dakota Experiment Station were compared with the leading standard varieties adapted to the Plains Area. These tests have been conducted at three different locations for the past two years. During both years some of the hybrids have yielded consistently more than the standard varieties
