PR-832: 2023 Fruit and Vegetable Crops Research Report

Daniel Becker, Maya Horvath, Rachel Rudolph, Ginny Travis, Dwight Wolfe | December 5, 2023 (New)

This report is a bit different from previous reports in that it represents two years' worth of work. It is also smaller than the reports of previous years. In 2021, a tornado destroyed much of our research center in Princeton, KY, and in 2022, a flood destroyed much of our research center in Quicksand, KY. Although both locations are rebuilding as quickly as they can, research trials have been hindered. We hope to have more trials and more reports in the future. Research was conducted by University of Kentucky faculty, staff, and students from the Department of Horticulture, as well as faculty and staff of Kentucky State University.
