| dc.description.abstract | High tunnels are used to modify the environment by trapping solar energy, offer protection for unfavorable weather events and extend the growing season. This study evaluated yield and quality of eight paste tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) and bell peppers (Capsicum annuum L.) in a high tunnel and open field. Total yields for high tunnel peppers in both years were 2 times higher than open field. Tomato’s highest total yields from the high tunnel and open field were comparable to each other at 13.8 and 10.26 kg plant-1 respectively. In both years, crops were planted in high tunnel 1 month earlier than the open field. Incidence of Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV) was lower in the high tunnel compared with the open field in 2022. Results of this study showed potential of high tunnel for season extension, optimizing yields and increasing fruit quality for high value crops in North Dakota. | en_US |
