Title: Effect of Plant Spacing on Strawberry Yield in Two Cultural Systems
Authors: J.B. Masiunas, S.C. Weller, R.A. Hayden, and J. Janick
Abstract:
The effects of mother plant spacing of 'Redchief strawberry on yield were evaluated with two cultural systems: runnerless and matted row. In both systems, the plots with narrowest between-row spacings (30 cm for runnerless rows and 45 cm for matted rows) had the greatest yields per unit area. Decreased withinrow spacing decreased berry weight and num ber per plant but did not affect yield per unit area. Because of high plant cost for the runner less row system, the matted row system was clearly superior for 'Redchief in our trials.
