OMAFRA's Vegetable Crop Production Publications

OMAFRA is introducing two new vegetable crop production publications starting in 2012. The Vegetable Crop Protection Guide (Pub. 838), introduced in February 2012, will be a companion to the new Ontario Field Vegetable Guide (Pub. 839), expected to be released in 2013. These two new publications will replace the existing Vegetable Production Recommendations (Pub. 363). Publication 363 will remain available for purchase, at a reduced price ($5), to provide vegetable production information for Ontario vegetable crops until the new Ontario Field Vegetable Guide is available.
