Understanding nitrogen requirements of onions at different growing stages is crucial to adequately manage N fertilizer applications and enhance fertilizer use while minimizing nutrient losses. In this study, the fertilizer N use efficiency of onions was investigated. The application of N fertilizer right after transplant is inefficient; targeting the periods of heavy vegetative growth and bulb initiation was most efficient in providing N fertilizer for onion plants.

The objectives of this study were to quantify the efficiency of field workers in transplanting Vidalia onions at an approximate population of 95,000 seedlings per acre and to verify the consistency of transplanting. The quality of transplanting varied widely among field workers, with issues such as seedlings lying on the ground, partially transplanted seedlings, and multiple seedlings in a single furrow. These inconsistencies can negatively impact plant population and uniformity.

Satsumas are one of the most cold-hardy of all citrus and very adaptable to Georgia, but very little is known about growing citrus in Georgia. Commercial growers and residents often ask which early-maturing varieties are best to grow, so we evaluated juice from 12 early-maturing satsuma varieties. The varieties with the highest Brix content and best peel color are listed in this resource.
