This report records the results of a pickling pepper trial completed in 1969 on a variety of peppers. Ridgetown College of Agricultural Technology

Seventy-six varieties of pickling peppers, submitted for trial by seed companies as well as 25 cultivars entered in co-ordinated yield trials across Ontario were seeded inside in 1970. Transplants in peat-pots were transplanted into the field in May by hand. Cultural methods were those commonly in use for this area. No sidedressing of any fertilizer was necessary. The use of peat pots facilitated a continuous plant growth resulting in extremely satisfactory yields. Ridgetown College of Agricultural Technology

RECENT studies on fruit and vegetable processing have shown some natural constituents of the material to be very sensitive to treatments, particularly heat. In the course of dehydration experiments with roots of Brassica rutabaga, the pigmentation of the tissues has been examined in detail.
