1 Best Fruit Crops for Mississippi Farmers Markets Eric T. Stafne Associate Extension/Research Professor Mississippi State University Poplarville, MS
2 Latest Hardiness Zone Map
3 The market 5 Top Tips to Know Growing conditions Cost of production The cultivars of each desired species Where to get help
4 The Market Where will the fruit be sold? To whom? How much can be sold and for how much? Are there gaps that can be filled?
5 Growing Conditions Site selection Soil characteristics Light requirement Sun exposure Land elevation and air movement Pests
6 Soil Characteristics Ideal soil is well-drained with adequate waterholding capacity. Sandy loams are best. Poor soil is poorly drained (internally or externally), and ph is not correct for the crop.
7 Light Requirements Full sun is ideal. Morning sun is preferable to afternoon sun.
8 Sun Exposure It is a few degrees colder on the north side of a hill than on the south. Fruit crops bloom earlier in the spring with southern exposure. Northern exposure may cause winter damage to fruit crops.
9 Elevation Low elevations More prone to frost Less air movement Poorer water and air drainage More prone to disease
10 Pests Insects Diseases Weeds Wildlife Abiotic
11 Cost of Production What does it cost to: Prepare the site? Plant the crop? Manage the crop during the season? Harvest? Storage (if necessary)? Maintain after the season? Maintain prior to the season? How hard and how much do I want to work?
12 Management Practices Fertilize Train Prune Irrigate Harvest
13 Cultivar Selection Adaptability to your area - very important Disease resistance Self-pollination versus cross-pollination Desired harvest date Taste, sweetness, size, texture, etc. Chilling requirement
