Spinach Trial Yield Data - Variety Trial

The variety trial is evaluating the yield of six varieties planted on two different dates.  It is replicated at four different locations and over two years.  The first year of the trial was completed in 2016/2017.  See the presentation below for the results!

Spinach Trial Yield Data - Heat and Light Trial

We are now into the second year of the trial.  Within each high tunnel we have three low tunnels each with a different heat treatment: no heat, maintain 32F minimum, maintain 45F minimum.  Half of each high tunnel receives 12 hours of supplemental LED light.  Within each heat/light combination there are 3 replications of planting date: direct seeded on Sept 15, plugs transplanted mid-October, direct seeded on Sept 30, and plugs transplanted late-October.  Corvair is the spinach variety.  See the presentation below for the 2016/2017 results.
