BioResource and Agricultural Engineering
The purpose of the project is to develop an analysis of the current irrigation practices of the strawberry growers on the Central Coast of California. The primary research evaluation is during the establishment of transplants where sprinklers are used even though drip irrigation is available. This project has targeted the impacts of salinity on the young strawberry transplants.
The specific objectives of the project are to: (1) Set up a research areas and control plots on a demonstration scale, (2) determine the key factors that affect the problems in early growth of transplanted strawberries, (3) determine relationships between the use …
