Oregon State University Vegetable Variety Trials
The OSU Department of Horticulture's vegetable breeding program in Corvallis, Oregon grows and evaluates a diversity of vegetable varieties. Although the trials are not replicated and primarily are not conducted on certified organic ground, they offer a valuable screening for variety traits and performance in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. The group is increasingly conducting organically managed trials and plans to have more organic trial results available in the future. Their reports may be found here.
