Each year a wide variety of new cultivars and species are evaluated in the National Cut Flower Trial Programs administered by North Carolina State University and the Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers. These new cultivars are tested at

environments encountered in high tunnel production systems in the northern New England region. Making the data from these trials available in alternative formats, such as radar plots, may help facilitate the selection of cultivars that are beneficial to farmers
-supported breeding program to develop new cultivars adapted specifically to the Australian production environments was identified in the early 1990s ( Hardner and McConchie, 1999 ; Stephenson, 1990b ; Winks, 1983 ). The Australian macadamia breeding program adopted
suited without negatively affecting production. In this study, we initiated work on step 1: we evaluated six lettuce types for their tolerance to higher temperatures in southern New Mexico. This initial field screening included cultivars marketed as
susceptible cultivars ( Kikkert et al., 2010 ). The objective of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility of popular table beet cultivars to local (New York) C. beticola populations and horticultural characteristics of interest to fresh market growers
other cultivars. The new variety is comparable to other popular cultivars in India in terms of general horticultural traits such as length, diameter, weight, number, and yield of fruit ( Table 1 ). Because of its superiority over the popular cultivars at

). This strongly suggests that DN strawberry cultivars may not only extend the fruiting period, but also offer high annual yields compared with short-day plants. There are only a limited number of commercial farmers growing DN cultivars in New England
southwestern Ontario. As a result, there is a need for a comprehensive evaluation of currently available cultivars in colder climates. Since 2007, sweetpotato acreage throughout the New England states has increased more than 8-fold from 4 to 33 acres, all for
