Title
STRATEGIES ON WATER MANAGEMENT FOR STRAWBERRY ESTABLISHMENT AND FREEZE PROTECTION IN FLORIDA

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Kaolin clay applied on day 7 of establishment could reduce irrigation volumes by up to 40% relative to sprinkler irrigation without kaolin clay.
- Intervention effect Kaolin clay applied on day 7 did not affect plant establishment or early yield of strawberry.
- Intervention effect Early fruit weight of strawberry cultivars increased by 28% when grown inside high tunnels rather than outside.
- Intervention effect Total fruit weight of strawberry cultivars increased by 55% when grown inside high tunnels rather than outside.
- Intervention effect Heavy covers gave higher early-to-total strawberry yield than regular or reduced sprinkler irrigation during freeze protection.
- Intervention effect High tunnels gave higher early-to-total strawberry yield than regular or reduced sprinkler irrigation during freeze protection.
- Recommendation Freeze-protection practices might let growers save about 300 m3 of water per freezing or near-freezing event.
- Observation Across cultivars in the high-tunnel trial, no additional freeze protection was needed.
