Vegetable varieties
Vegetable variety trials and recommended varieties.
Vegetable cultivar trials are conducted annually by the Vegetable Program, Department of Plant Sciences at the University of Saskatchewan to supply Saskatchewan's vegetable growers with information on cultivar performance under local growing conditions.
Cultivars are selected for testing based on performance in previous trials, recommendations from other provinces, local growers, industry sources and seed companies. The results compiled in this section are meant to aid growers in selecting cultivars which suit their market and production conditions. The data presented are specific to the prevailing growing conditions and production practices and may not be applicable to all farm sites.

The 2010 Vegetable Variety Trials are now available online in PDF format. Visit the 2010 Trials page to see the Vegetable Program's most recent vegetable cultivar evaluations and recommendations.
The best producing and most reliable vegetable varieties have been selected by the Vegetable Program, based on annual variety trials from 1989 to the present.
