North Carolina is a strong national producer of fresh and processed vegetable commodities, serving local and international market demands. The U.S. Agriculture 2012 report ranked the state a top ten vegetable producer in sweet potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, squash, cabbage, watermelons, and sweet corn.
Through North Carolina Cooperative Extension the vegetable specialists provide valuable research and relevant information to vegetable growers. Specialists support the industry by addressing organic, sustainable, and economic solutions for soil fertility, weed, insect, and disease control. NC State University’s researchers and educators introduce new crops, technology, practices, and techniques. The multidisciplinary group of county agents and vegetable specialists have a proven track record in working with individual farmers and commodity groups in maintaining and growing the North Carolina industry.
The Department of Horticultural Science generates detailed information leaflets for asparagus, broccoli, celery, cucumber, greens, eggplants, peppers, squash, tomatoes, watermelon, root crops, and miscellaneous vegetables.
