The following are projects to be undertaken during the 2010 growing season.
1. The bell pepper cv. Jupiter and the non-pungent Jalapeño pepper cv. Pace 105
will be transplanted into beds receiving the recommended or twice the
recommended rate of fertilizer. Plants will be irrigated at 10 AM or 2 PM either
once (3”/application) or twice a week (1.5”/application). Yields will be
determined. This is the second year of the experiment.
2. Manure will be applied uniformly to the soil. To the soil three formulations
of microbes, and a fourth treatment, a compost tea, was added to the soil. The
bell pepper, cv. Jupiter, the non-pungent jalapeño pepper, cv. Pace 105, the
cucumber, cv. Dasher II, and the sweet corn, cv. Incredible, were planted.
Yields will be determined.
