Objectives:

1. Test various inbred combinations for hybrid production, and evaluate commercial cultivars for adaptation to Oregon growing conditions and for head rot resistance.

VegNet is a regional pest monitoring and reporting network serving the Oregon processed vegetable industry, managed by the OSU Extension Service, and funded by the Oregon Processed Vegetable Commission. In the early spring of 2007, a variety of insect traps were placed on cooperating farms in vegetable production areas around the Willamette Basin and maintained during the growing season.
