Early-season strawberry tested in high elevation conditions

Researchers investigated the use of high tunnels to lengthen the growing season for June-bearing strawberries. The study compared vertical and in-ground high tunnel strawberry production when planting dates were optimized for each system. Results indicated that high tunnels can provide an effective and economical system for extending the season for strawberries in the Intermountain West region in the United States. The study contains production and market data to help growers maximize strawberry yields.
