Objectives:
1. Breed Bush Blue Lake green bean varieties with high economic yield and improved plant architecture.
2. Improve pod characteristics including straightness, color, smoothness, texture, flavor and quality retention, and combine with delayed seed size development.
3. Incorporate white mold resistance and improve root rot tolerance.
4. Develop a...
Three trials at two locations were conducted to evaluate sweet corn hybrids for performance under root rot conditions. While both sugar/se and supersweet sweet corn hybrids were evaluated, the emphasis was again on identifying supersweet hybrids with improved tolerance to root rot.
Objective 1: Evaluation of commercial sweet corn varieties and inbred germplasm in small plots for susceptibility to seed rot/damping-off as well as root, stalk, and crown rot. Objective 2: Evaluation of microbial and chemical treatments for suppression of sweet corn seed rot/damping-off, root rot, and crown rot. Objective 3: Cooperate...
