The vegetable industry, with an estimated annual income of over 1.7 billion dollars, represents the largest segment of Florida’s agricultural income. The uniqueness of Florida’s humid, subtropical climate and infertile soils has dictated the necessity for continuing research to provide relevant solutions to problems growers encounter in their efforts to maintain Florida’s position as the second largest vegetable producing state in the United States.
