A study of corn gluten meal (CGM) applied to direct-seeded squash includes useful information for growers of all types of organic vegetables. The experiments tested the impact of a range of CGM applications on direct-seeded squash plant survival and yields. One notable result showed that using a CGM-free planting strip with CGM applied between crop rows provided increased crop safety for direct-seeded squash compared with broadcast applications.
