Water Management for Vegetable Production

Vegetable Production -- Miami Dade County

Vegetables Grown Under Protected Ag Structures

Fruits and vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits, horticulture, and nursery crops (including floriculture). Wild plants are not considered specialty crops even though they may be used for the same purpose as cultivated plants. However, natural populations of native plants that are brought into cultivation, such as sugar maple trees, pecans, blueberry, huckleberry and cranberry are considered specialty crops by USDA.

The potato (Solanum tuberosum) is a herbaceous annual that grows up to 100 cm tall and produces a tuber &ndash; also called potato &ndash; so rich in starch that it ranks as the world&rsquo;s fourth most important food crop, after maize, wheat and rice. As the potato plant grows, its compound leaves manufacture starch that is transferred to the ends of its underground stems (or stolons). The stems thicken to form a few or as many as 20 tubers close to the soil surface.
