ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The existence and success of the vegetable variety trial programconducted at Auburn University is initially due to the commitment of theAlabama Agricultural Experiment Station (AAES) administration. The authorswish to thank the superintendents and the farm crews of the AAES Researchand Extension Centers, Horticulture Stations, Research Stations, and Experi-ment Fields for their commitment, day-to-day support, and dedication to thisprogram over the past five years. The active support of the seed industry isalso gratefully acknowledged.

INTRODUCTION

Successful vegetable production begins with the choice of a good variety. Al-though this choice is mainly made by producers and sometimes by produce buyersor processors, the choice of a variety affects the entire production of that vegetable,from seeding or transplanting in the field to retail sale.

The main objective of a vegetable variety trial program is to provide commer-cial vegetable growers, county Extension personnel, Extension specialists, and back-yard gardeners with practical information on variety characteristics and performanceunder the growing conditions of Alabama. Another objective of a vegetable varietytrial program is to take an active part in testing promising advanced breeding linesdeveloped by seed companies and public breeding programs.

The purpose of this publication is to summarize five years of vegetable varietytrials (1994-1998). Because Alabama has a wide range of growing conditions, thispublication has relevance beyond the boundaries of Alabama and is designed to beused as a reference on the main vegetable varieties growing in the southeastern UnitedStates.

In this publication vegetable crops are listed alphabetically. For each vegetablecrop, the botanical classification and horticultural characteristics from seed cata-logues and from field observation are presented.

Each variety has been rated on a 0- to 4-star scale (Table 1). Because severalattributes are important in selecting a vegetable variety, the rating combines theyield potential, the claimed disease resistance/tolerance, the horticultural type, andother relevant observations. This rating was developed under set circumstances, andvariety performance may vary under different growing conditions. Therefore, it isalways recommended to pre-select a variety for commercial production by plantinga small acreage of a limited number of potentially adapted varieties. Buyers shouldalso be familiar with the selected variety.

Simonne is an Assistant Professor, Boozer is an Area Horticulturist, and Baktiyarova andVinson are Research Technicians, all in the Auburn University Department of Horticulture.

Some known seed sources are also listed, but vegetable varieties may also beavailable from other sources. Detailed information on cultural practices and gradingguides can be found in previous variety trial reports (see references).

Because new vegetable varieties are continuously developed, variety evalua-tion is a continuous process. Updated information may be found at http://www.ag.auburn.edu/dept/hf/faculty/esimonne.
