Comparison of Foliar and Root-dip Crop Protectants for Strawberry Transplant Establishment

During strawberry transplant establishment, the standard practice is the use of sprinklers delivering water at 4.5 gal/min. This activity is highly inefficient due to the use of large volumes of water with only an estimated 3% of the water ending up in the planting holes. The objective of these studies was to determine the effects of using foliar and root-dip crop protectants on strawberry transplant establishment growth, early marketable yield,...
