Winter Spinach High Tunnel Project |
|
|
The Lake Superior region of Wisconsin is home to at least 70 high tunnel greenhouses being used by commercial and home growers primarily for summer production of vegetables. In cooperation with area schools and local growers, UW-Extension has launched a research program to investigate use of the high tunnels to produce hardy salad greens during the winter months.
With funding from the WI Specialty Crop Block Grant program, UW-Extension implemented research projects over two winters to evaluate the production potential of winter spinach as affected by variety and supplemental heat and light. Check out the publications below for all the details.
