The Southeastern Vegetable Extension Workers (SEVEW) Group is proud to offer the 2026 Southeastern U.S. Vegetable Crop Handbook. We are excited to provide growers, crop advisers, county educators, Extension agents, and specialists throughout the southeastern United States with this practical resource that conveniently fits on your dashboard. It contains information needed to manage vegetable crops, including planting dates, fertilizer recommendations, pesticide selection, fertigation, alternative pest management tools, and many other topics.
This handbook represents a joint effort among Extension specialists and researchers from fifteen land-grant universities working in the area of vegetable production. Specialists and researchers at these institutions represent a wide array of disciplines: agricultural engineering, agribusiness, entomology, food safety, horticulture (vegetable production), plant pathology, postharvest physiology, soil science, and weed science. In addition to developing this annual resource, the SEVEW Group focuses on strengthening and supporting vegetable production programs, identifying emerging issues facing this region, and providing a forum for multistate programming that will benefit growers in the southeastern United States.
