VICTORIA - B.C.'s field vegetable and berry growers can keep
informed of the most up-to-date growing techniques and
information by accessing a web-based version of the highly
respected B.C. Production Guides. The vegetable guide has been
recognized as the key reference document for safe, sustainable
and competitive production of B.C. crops for almost 50 years.
The guides provide easy-to-access information about the latest
beneficial management practices for more than 25 types of
vegetables including lettuce, carrots, beets and potatoes and
seven types of berries - blackberries, blueberries, cranberries,
currants, gooseberries, raspberries and strawberries. These free
guides include recommended techniques and practices for seeding,
spacing, transplanting, harvesting and storage as well as
integrated pest management. The creation of the web-based guides
was made possible through joint federal-provincial funding and
the Lower Mainland Horticulture Improvement Association. They
