Join Us for a Southeast Variety Trial Field Day

SE-update-field-day copyOSA and Cornell University will host an evaluation field day of melons, cucumbers, and summer squash varieties at Ramblerill Farm in southern Orange County, North Carolina, on August 11, 2016. The field day will highlight cucurbit varieties that have shown resistance to Downy Mildew over the last three years of the Eastern Sustainable Organic Cucurbit (ESOCuc) research project. Helping growers identify appropriate varieties is key to increasing the production and profitability of organic cucurbits across the region. The trials we’ll walk through for this field day are part of a larger variety trial network and participatory plant breeding effort evaluating varieties on organic farms and research stations in Georgia, Alabama, New York, North Carolina, and South Carolina, the first of its kind to focus on organic cucurbits across multiple states. We hope to see you there!

When: Thursday, August 11, 2016 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Where: Ramblerill Farm, 913 Arthur Minnis Road, Hillsborough, North Carolina
Cost: Free

The event is free and registration is not required. For additional information, contact Tony Kleese at (919) 622-5897 or by email.


This project is funded through the USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture’s (NIFA) Organic Research and Extension Initiative (OREI) and is coordinated by Cornell University in partnership with North Carolina State University, Auburn University, Clemson University, multiple organic farmers, and Organic Seed Alliance.
