Four cultivars that had performed more favorably of several evaluated in 2000 Spring studies were compared on three plastic mulches and a bare ground control in Spring 2001. All cultivars performed similarly on the plastic, for the most part all performing better than on the bare ground. As in previous studies, the percentage of plants forming marketable was less than desirable, ranging from a ...
