Vegetables

 

Sustainable Agriculture @ URI is, in essence, an information clearinghouse.  As such, we have refrained from duplicating the wealth of information available on vegetables in favor of providing you with a quick link to some of the resources we consider the most comprehensive and/or user-friendly.  If you do not find what you’re looking for, please feel free to contact your extension agent

 

To find vegetable diseases by crop, search the URI GreenShare Factsheets or Vegetable Disease Fact Sheets.

 

For information on Organic Vegetable Production, visit the National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service.

 
NON-COMMERCIAL GROWERS: If you do not find adequate answers to your questions here, please contact a URI Master Gardener.
