1 Performance of Berries in Field and High Tunnel Production System Curt R. Rom Luke Freeman, Jason McAfee, Heather Friedrich Spencer Fiser, Julia Stover Donn Johnson, Jennie Popp, Elena Garcia
2 Berry Problematic Berry production season is short: 4-6 weeks Rain can reduce summer floricane cropping harvest High temperatures limit raspberry production in South High late summer temperatures limit flower formation and fruit set of primocane fruiting blackberry and raspberry cultivars Early fall freezes (20-Oct) limit fruiting of primocane cultivars
3 WHY High Tunnels?
4 Why Tunnels? Environmental Modification with A. Temperature Modification B. Precipitation and Moisture Modification C. Light modification D. Wind reduction Thereby allowing the grower to 1. Extend the growing season Advance the Spring Season Extend the Autumn Season 2. Minimize impacts of weather (hail, wind, etc.) 3. Mitigate Pest Problems
5 The Opportunities and Benefits from Tunnels Reduced Risk of High Risk Crops Never a lost day due to rain You will always have crop to sell Increase Value of Crops -Increased yields; size, total yield -Out-of-season production -Reduced costs Extended Season means Extended Cash-Flow for the farm Potential Reduced use of Pesticides Opportunity for Sustainable and Organically Produced Possible better Economics
6 } Potential Total Berry Harvest Season Traditional Season Growing Season Early Tunnel Crop Early Tunnel Crop Harvest Seasons Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Tunnels may extend the summer harvest season from 4-6 weeks during summer to weeks during the year
7 Opportunities With the combination of appropriate cultivar selection and use of high tunnels Extend the season an additional 8-10 weeks per year Protect the crop from inclement weather Produce fruit when there are limited fresh fruit available in the market place. Chance to capture high value early and late markets
8 A Place for Tunnels Tunnels have a place in the production system to compliment field production
9 Our Projects Sustainable/Organic Berry Production in Tunnels A Blackberries and Raspberries 1. Advancing Spring Production Blackberries: Navajo, Ouachita, Arapaho Raspberries: Dormanred, Prelude, and Encore 2. Extending Fall Production Blackberries: Prime-Jan, Prime-Jim, APF46 Raspberries: Dinkum, Caroline, Autumn Bliss 3. Double-Cropping Primocane Cultivars B Studies 1. Advancing Spring Production Blueberries: Earliblue Blackberries: Natchez 2. Extending Fall Production Primocane Raspberries: Nantahala, Josephine, Autumn Bliss Primocane Blackberries; PrimeArk 45; APF#
10 Overall Project Goal The overall project goals are 1. To extend the berry production season from 4-6 weeks (June-July) to 4-5 months (May November) with double cropping primocane fruiting genotypes 2. To allow for production of Raspberries in hot climates 3. To develop sustainable and organic production systems for southern fruit 4. To have products to capture high value markets
11 Hypotheses Extend the traditional summer seasons by advancing production of floricane berries in the spring with tunnels Establish a autumn harvest season and extend it with tunnels Growing fruit out-of-season reduces potential pests Growing fruit out-of-season in tunnels may reduce incidence of disease Use tunnels to improve fruit quality and marketable yield
12 Research Objectives Develop production systems in order to : I. Advance spring floricane blackberry production (Study 1) II. Extend autumn primocane harvest season of blackberries and raspberries (Study 2)
13 HT Environments HT reduce total PAR ~17-20% In the spring season, HT increases Growing Degree Hour (GDH) accumulation by about 50-60GDH Advanced phenology approx. 2-3 wks Frost Protection Required in HT: Spring averaged 4 nights frost protection In the autumn season, HT prevented frost and continued fall fruiting for 3 4 wks after field Field ended between 15-Oct and 25-Oct (past 3 years) by freezes HT ended 28-Oct and 18-Nov by freezes Autumn averaged 2 night frost protection HT can supercool on some nights Requires frost cloths for both advancing the season and protecting crop
