Abstract

Abstract Strawberries ( Fragaria x ananassa Duch. ‘Bounty’) were planted in a loamy sand soil and grown in single or double rows with and without irrigation and a black copolymer film mulch in all combinations for 3 cropping seasons. Total marketable yield was increased significantly by mulch and double rows only in the 1st cropping season. Irrigation was the most important practice in the last 2 cropping seasons, increasing both fruit size and total yield.
