In 2022, ten parsnip cultivars were evaluated for yield potential and horticultural characteristics at the University of Maine\u2019s Highmoor Farm in Monmouth, Maine.<\/p>\n<p>The field culture of parsnips is very similar to that of carrots. Prior to seeding, 500 lb\/acre of 10-10-10 fertilizer was incorporated into the field, and plots were arranged according to a randomized complete block design with four replications. Parsnips were direct-seeded into flat ground on June 10 using a two-row Jang push seeder fitted with LJ-10 rollers and a 14\/9 sprocket gearing. Rows were 12\u201d apart and beds were 42\u201d on center, and no supplemental irrigation was provided. Plots were flame-weeded five days after seeding and hand weeded thereafter, as needed, to mitigate crop-weed competition. About one month after seeding, plots were thinned to approximately 12-15 plants per foot.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"9110\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9110 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2023\/05\/Parsnips-_-days-after-seeding.jpg\" alt=\"Parsnips growing in a garden at Highmoor Farm in Monmouth, Maine.\" width=\"734\" height=\"549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2023\/05\/Parsnips-_-days-after-seeding.jpg 734w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2023\/05\/Parsnips-_-days-after-seeding-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2023\/05\/Parsnips-_-days-after-seeding-105x79.jpg 105w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2023\/05\/Parsnips-_-days-after-seeding-317x237.jpg 317w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2023\/05\/Parsnips-_-days-after-seeding-423x316.jpg 423w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2023\/05\/Parsnips-_-days-after-seeding-634x474.jpg 634w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2023\/05\/Parsnips-_-days-after-seeding-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 85vw, (max-width: 768px) 67vw, (max-width: 1024px) 62vw,734px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Figure 1. <\/strong>Parsnips on August 28, 2022 (79 days after seeding), at the University of Maine\u2019s Highmoor Farm in Monmouth, Maine.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The central 4\u2019 of each plot was harvested on November 11, about five months after seeding.
