PDF File Contents Introduction Site Selection Greenhouse Types, Design and Construction Production Methods ... For Additional Information Prepared by George E. Boyhan, Darbie Granberry and W. Terry Kelley Introduction Greenhouse vegetable production is a highly intensive enterprise requiring substantial labor and capital inputs. Because of this, potential growers should carefully consider all of the factors necessary for a successful enterprise. Greenhouse vegetable production is in many ways a 24-hour-a-day commitment. Greenhouse maintenance, crop production and handling emergencies require constant vigilance. Every 4,000 square feet of greenhouse space requires an estimated 25 to 30 hours of crop care and upkeep. Greenhouse structures require constant maintenance and repair. Many of the selected greenhouse covers must be replaced on a regular basis. Heating, cooling and watering systems must be maintained and routinely serviced. In addition, contingency plans and backup systems must be in place in case any of these major systems should break down. Even a one-day loss of cooling, heating or water during a critical period can result in complete crop failure. Along with the essential skills, capital and labor to build, maintain and grow a crop, producers must develop markets willing to pay the relatively high prices necessary to make the enterprise economically viable. Greenhouse-grown vegetables cannot compete with comparable field-grown crops based on price; therefore, greenhouse-grown vegetables often are marketed to buyers based on superior quality and off-season availability.

187. Nutrient Management For Commercial Fruit & Vegetable Crops Provides guidelines for economically and environmentally sound use of fertilizers in commercial fruit and vegetable production. From the University of Minnesota. http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/cropsystems/DC5886.html

DG-05886-GO 1996 To Order Carl J. Rosen and Roger Eliason Department of Soil, Water, and Climate Table of Contents Introduction Taking a Soil Sample Interpreting a Soil Test Fertilizer Analyses and Calculating Fertilizer Rates ... Tissue Nitrate Analysis for Vegetable Crops Introduction There are 16 essential nutrients required for plant growth: carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sulfur (S), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), boron (B), molybdenum (Mo), and chlorine (Cl). Of these 16, all except carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are derived from the soil. When the soil cannot supply the level of nutrient required for adequate growth, supplemental fertilizer applications become necessary. Taking a Soil Sample Proper interpretation of soil test results for making fertilizer recommendations is dependent on collecting a representative sample. The procedure for taking a meaningful soil sample is summarized below. Soil samples can be collected any time of the year, although spring and fall sampling are usually the most convenient. If soil test results from a given field are to be compared over the years, it is best that samples be collected at the same time of year.

Uses Folk Medicine Chemistry Description ... References Uses Folk Medicine Reported to be anodyne, aperitif, aphrodisiac, fattening, purgative, and stomachic, kenaf is a folk remedy for bilious conditions, bruises, fever, and puerperium (Duke and Wain, 1981). Powdered leaves are applied to Guinea worms in Africa. Africans use peelings from the stems for anemia, fatigue, lassitude, etc. In Gambia, the leaf infusion is used for coughs. Ayurvedics use the leaves for dysentery and bilious, blood and throat disorders. Seeds are applied externally to aches and bruises. Medicinally, juice of the flowers with sugar and black pepper is used in biliousness with acidity. Seeds are considered aphrodisiac and fattening. Chemistry Seeds contain radium, thorium, and rubidium, and a fatty oil like arachis oil (Reed, 1976). Seeds also contain 9.6% moisture, 6.4% ash, 20.4% fatty oil, 21.4% nitrogenous matter, 15.7% saccharifiable matter, 12.9% crude fiber, and 13.9% other matter. The seed oil contains 45.3% oleic-, 23.4% linoleic- 14.0% palmitic-, and 6.0% stearic-acids. Dry press cake contains 33.0% protein, 6.0% oil, 17.4% crude fiber, 6.0% ash, and 37.6% N-free extract.
