The cumulative greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from any human activity are commonly referred to as the carbon footprint. The Poultry Carbon Footprint Calculation Tool was developed and designed specifically for poultry production farms. The tool can be used to estimate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from pullet, breeder, and broiler grow-out farms. This resource provides an overview for poultry producers on how to use the tool and gives recommended applications.

Excessive fertilization does not equate to greater crop yields. Crop yields are optimized when nutrients are efficiently used, which requires fertilizer applications to be based on the right source, the right time, the right rate, and the right placement. These are referred as the four Rs of fertilizer management, whose purpose is to supply plants’ nutrient requirements, reduce production costs, and mitigate environmental impact. The original manuscript for this publication was written by Andre Luiz Biscaia Ribeiro da Silva and Erick Smith. It has been reviewed by Tim Coolong.

This report provides research and extension results for trials conducted by the University of Georgia Vegetable Team and its collaborators in the 2024-2025 growing season. The goal of this project was to find potential ways to manage wild radish in seeded greens such as mustard, turnips, collards, and others. Wild radish, a member of the mustard family, has historically been recognized as a winter annual weed mainly infesting winter crops grown across the Southeast. Contributing authors include county and regional faculty as well as specialists from UGA’s horticulture, plant pathology, crop and soil sciences, and entomology departments. All research has been supported by the Georgia Commodity Commission for Vegetables.

This report provides research and extension results for trials conducted by the University of Georgia Vegetable Team and its collaborators in the 2024-2025 growing season. The objective of this study was to compare multiple spraying systems (drone, tractor, etc.) and platforms for vegetable production. Contributing authors include county and regional faculty as well as specialists from UGA’s horticulture, plant pathology, crop and soil sciences, and entomology departments. All research has been supported by the Georgia Commodity Commission for Vegetables.

Bell Pepper Breeding for Phytophthora Resistance
A comprehensive research strategy was created in our vegetable breeding program to meet the needs of bell pepper growers. Identifying potential resistant gene sources against Phytophthora capsica is one of those efforts. This report provides research and extension results for trials conducted by the University of Georgia Vegetable Team and its collaborators in the 2024-2025 growing season. Contributing authors include county and regional faculty as well as specialists from UGA’s horticulture, plant pathology, crop and soil sciences, and entomology departments. All research has been supported by the Georgia Commodity Commission for Vegetables.

This research aims to compare sulfate of potash and muriate of potash in a plasticulture system because muriate of potash costs less per unit of K. There is relatively little research comparing sulfate of potash to muriate of potash in vegetable production systems. This research aims to compare sulfate of potash and muriate of potash in a plasticulture system. This report provides research and extension results for trials conducted by the University of Georgia Vegetable Team and its collaborators in the 2024-2025 growing season. All research has been supported by the Georgia Commodity Commission for Vegetables.

This report provides research and extension results for trials conducted by the University of Georgia Vegetable Team and its collaborators in the 2024-2025 growing season. Fresh-market pepper production continues to grow as consumer demand increases for specialty peppers. However, selecting the best variety can be challenging because yield potential and fruit dimensions vary widely among jalapeño, serrano, poblano, and banana types. Contributing authors include county and regional faculty as well as specialists from UGA’s horticulture, plant pathology, crop and soil sciences, and entomology departments. All research has been supported by the Georgia Commodity Commission for Vegetables.

This report provides research and extension results for trials conducted by the University of Georgia Vegetable Team and its collaborators in the 2024-2025 growing season. The Tifton Vegetable Park (TVP) is the primary research farm at UGA-Tifton, where vegetable team faculty conduct vegetable trials in various disciplines. This research site is important for conducting high-quality research that cannot be performed in commercial vegetable production fields. Contributing authors include county and regional faculty as well as specialists from UGA’s horticulture, plant pathology, crop and soil sciences, and entomology departments. All research has been supported by the Georgia Commodity Commission for Vegetables.
