Celery, sweet corn, endive, escarole, romaine lettuce, and radish are important crops on organic soils in Florida. This bulletin summarizes fertilization research results with these crops from the 1940s to the present. New interpretations of these compiled works were used to produce updated UF/IFAS Extension recommendations for fertilization of these six vegetable crops.

Sweet corn is not just a side dish for summer barbecues. It is a delicious, crunchy vegetable that can be enjoyed throughout the year! Many love its natural sweetness, but sweet corn has a lot more to offer than great taste. So, why is sweet corn good for you? Which type of corn should you buy? Are you lacking ideas on how to cook it? This publication is for anyone interested in the potential health benefits of sweet corn and recipe ideas to incorporate more sweet corn into their dietary patterns.

This publication provides information on conventional fresh market sweet corn acreage, volume, and pricing for the top four producing states: California, Florida, Georgia, and New York. (Other states produce a substantial amount of processed market sweet corn but are not the focus here.) This is one in a series of Ask IFAS publications focused on trends in Florida’s five most economically important specialty crops (excluding citrus): fresh market sweet corn, bell peppers, tomatoes, watermelons, and strawberries. This information will be useful to producers, Extension agents, and others interested in trends concerning specialty crop commodities. This publication serves as a unique source summarizing important information about the specialty crop market and production trends.
