An investigation into sustainable strawberry production using alternative growing systems
Strawberry is a fruit propagated by runners who avoid direct seed plantation due to its low germination rate. The study aimed to explore the germination rate of strawberry seeds by considering two varieties, ‘Temptation’ and ‘Florian,’ in different growing substrates (rockwool with and without …

Soil solarization and soil additives as alternatives to preplant fumigation in annual plasticulture strawberry production
Fumigation before strawberry (<i>Fragaria×ananassa</i> Duchesne) planting was a common practice as they are susceptible to numerous pests. Methyl bromide, the colorless, odorless gas, was the chosen fumigant for growers until it was classified as an ozone-depleting substance and its use was …

Effects of Sudangrass Cover Crop and Soil Solarization on Weed and Pathogen Management in Organic Strawberry Production
… agricultural weeds and pathogens in organic strawberry production in Central California. Lab experiments assessed the time needed to kill weed seeds at temperatures typically achieved during soil solarization (40<strong>°</strong>C, 45<strong>°</strong>C, 50<strong>°</strong>C, …

Innovative Approaches for Detection and Management of Fruit Rot Diseases in Annual Hill Plasticulture Strawberry Production System
… present a major challenge to sustainable strawberry production in the United States, impacting both perennial and annual systems globally. The pathogens can survive in the transplants and the soil rhizosphere and later infect the plants. As a first step for disease management, it is …

Evaluation of anaerobic soil disinfestation using brewers spent grain and yeast inoculation in annual hill plasticulture strawberry production
… the effects of ASD on weed density and strawberry fruit yield and fruit quality in annual hill strawberry production. The treatments included ASD at standard or half carbon dose rates, with or without yeast. Fumigation (80% chloropicrin + 20% 1,3-dichloropropene) and non-treated plots …

An Economic Comparison of High Tunnel and Open-Field Strawberry Production in Southeastern Virginia and A Joint Estimation of Acreage Planted to U.S. Major Crops
… We develop and compare budgets for eight strawberry cultivars grown in the two environments and sold under three marketing strategies (pre-pick wholesale, pre-pick retail, and U-pick). Almost all cultivars in the high tunnel generated negative net revenues regardless of the marketing …

An Integrated Approach for Controlling Verticillium Wilt of Strawberry
<p>Strawberry (<em>Fragaria</em> x <em>ananassa</em>, Duch.) is an important crop in California, with more than 35,000 acres planted in 2018 resulting in a farm gate value of $3.1 billion. In 2020, California strawberry production accounted for more than 85% of national strawberry production and …

Effect of Nitrogen Fertilizer Rates and Two-Spotted Spider Mite Incidence on 'Strawberry Festival' Strawberry Cultivar Performance
<p>The decline in strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) production in Arkansas over the last 50 years has sparked an interest in the use of season extension techniques to improve yield and fruit quality. High tunnel strawberry production has the potential to become a profitable and sustainable …

The effect of maleic hydrazide in controlling plant populations in the strawberry in southwest Virginia
… effects of Maleic Hydrazide (MH) in controlling strawberry plant populations were studied. Foliar applications of MH at 1000 ppm resulted in reduced runner length. The effect of MH sprays appeared to be directly related to the stage of rooting at the time of spray applications. Rooted plants were …

Host Plant Resistance in Strawberries to Anthracnose and Colonization of Crown and Root Tissue by Verticillium dahliae and Macrophomina phaseolina
… billion accounting for 88% of the total U.S. production. Strawberry production can be severely impacted by soilborne pathogens that can affect strawberry roots, crowns and leaves which can result in plant mortality. As much as 50 to 60% mortality can occur in one field. Pathogens responsible …

Epidemiological studies and sustainable approaches for the control of strawberry powdery mildew
Strawberry powdery mildew, caused by Podosphaera aphanis, is one of the most destructive diseases of strawberries worldwide, particularly under protected cultivation. Difficulties in detecting and managing early infections result in rapid development and yield losses up to 70%. Control still relies …

Evaluation of Host Resistance and the Utilization of Organic Amendments to Manage Macrophomina Crown Rot of Strawberry in California
<p>The production of strawberries can be severely limited by soilborne plant pathogens, insects and weeds. <em>Macrophomina phaseolina </em>is a problematic soilborne fungal pathogen in California strawberry production inciting the disease Macrophomina crown rot. When established, the pathogen can …

Investigating Novel Approaches for the Integrated Control of the Soilborne Strawberry Pathogens Macrophomina phaseolina and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. fragariae
… and Fusarium wilt, respectively, in commercial strawberry production in California. Fungicides representing eight active ingredients from four different mode of action groups (FRAC groups 1, 3, 7 and 12) were evaluated for their efficacy against each pathogen <em>in vitro</em> and each disease …
