Many of you have attended one or more the Classes at the Gardens held at the University of Tennessee's Plateau Research & Education Center, but did you know what goes on
outside the Classroom? Yes, one thing is the Demonstration Gardens of the UT Gardens, Crossville in the “backyard” of the administration building. I thought you might like to know a bit more about the 2,100 acres that make up the Plateau Research and Education
Center in three locations. The Center was established in 1943 and is most noted for its studies in beef, squash, muskmelons, watermelons, pumpkins, greens, cabbage, green beans, apples, blueberries,
and tomatoes. Information from studies at the Center is applicable to small, part-time, family farm operations. Research data from annual fruit and vegetable variety trials is widely used by growers large and small, both in Tennessee and across the nation.
The Center operates as one of 10 Research and Education Centers in the UT AgResearch system.
The Center will celebrate its 75th anniversary throughout the month of August. Come out the
Steak and Potatoes Day on Tuesday, August 7 and the
Fall Gardeners Festival on Tuesday, August 28 and celebrate with us. |

New UT Extension Publication |
|
A range of tools are available to home gardeners to address various pests (weeds, insects, mites, pathogens). Materials to prevent and address pest issues, as well as manage fertility in the home garden, can be
found across the spectrum from traditional conventional insecticides and fungicides, to biorational (materials that are effective against specific target pests bur are less damaging to natural enemies), to certified organic. This publication provides a quick
reference guide to assist gardeners in finding and using products to address pest issues in their home gardens. This publication is designed to be used in conjunction with other detailed Extension materials (PB1690
UT Extension Insect and Plant Disease Control Manual, also known as the Redbook). |
