Title
Sprinkler Irrigation Pressure and Spacing Effect for Cold Protection of Strawberries
Maria I. Zamora-Re; Michael D. Dukes; Craig D. Stanley; et al. Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering 2015. doi:10.1061/(asce)ir.1943-4774.0000928
Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Strawberry yield differed significantly between the irrigated cold-protection treatments and the nonirrigated control in both seasons.
- Intervention effect After a cold event only the irrigated treatments showed a comparable linear recovery of strawberry yield; the nonirrigated treatment did not.
- Intervention effect The automated irrigation system for cold protection (AC treatment) saved 5% of water in the 2011-2012 season.
- Intervention effect The automated irrigation system for cold protection (AC treatment) saved up to 23% of water in the 2012-2013 season.
- Intervention effect Reducing the irrigation system pressure from 345 to 207 kPa achieved 22% water savings.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that a lower pressure can reduce irrigation use without affecting strawberry yield in years with mild freezes.
