7 Site Selection and Preparation
8 Site & Soil Requirements Most Berries: Soil Site well drained sandy loam ph = SOM > 3% full sun (at least 6 hrs)
9 Site & Soil Requirements Plant type (Biology) Marketing Strategies
10 Site Selection and preparation for Strawberries Shallow roots Flower blossoms sensitive to frost Site close to irrigation source
11 Site Selection and Preparation for Strawberries Pick your own Farm Stand Road Stand CSA Site close to the road
12 Site Selection and Preparation for Strawberries Variety of soils Field of pepper Well drained Field of Eggplants Slop < 12% Field of Potatoes Field of Sod Field of tomatoes Root feeding grubs Verticillium
13 Site Selection and Preparation for Strawberries Soil Test Recommendations Soil Fertility Add lime if Add S if ph < 6.0 ph > 6.5 ph of 6.0 to 6.5
14 Site Selection and Preparation for Strawberries Rye Sudangrass Cover crop for at least a year before planting Control weeds Organic matter
15 Production Systems for Strawberries June bearing (Short day) Earliglow Jewel Sparkle Produce 2 to 3 weeks in June or July Everbearing (day-neutral, (summer) Seascape Albion Evi 2 Better flavor and higher yielding than everbearing cultivars Produce all summer until first frost
16 Production Systems for Strawberries June bearing Plant as soon as the soil can be worked (April) Flower blossoms should be removed the first year Runners produced (mid to late summer) Runners that grow in the aisles should be removed : 2lbs/100 feet after planting, late august
17 Yield of June bearing Strawberries Plants flower in April to May Fruit mature 26 to 30 days after flowering Yield from 500 to 20,000 lbs/acre (average 10,000 lbs/acre)
18 Renovation This is a process that rejuvenates the plants after harvest is complete. Step 1 mow off the foliage being careful not to damage the crowns. Step 2 narrow the rows and till in the straw between rows Step 3 apply fertilizer Step 4 water regularly until foliage has fully regrown
19 Renovation Fruiting cycle begins again Fruit size and overall yield decrease with age of the bed Overall yield declines after 2 to 3 years
20 Floating row covers the fall when daytime T o low 70s OR Straw + row covers in Northern locations
21 Mulching Apply 2 tons of straw/acre Late Nov. to Late Dec. Mulch should be removed the following March (40 o F at a 4 depth)
22 Plasticulture Production of June-bearing varieties High capital input High yield
23 Plasticulture Production of June-bearing varieties Raised beds Plug plants planted in Mid Sept. (Zone 6b and warmer Late Aug. (Zone 6a and colder) Spacing: 12 apart double bed 12 between plants in a raw
24 Plasticulture Production of June-bearing varieties Renovation
25 Plasticulture Production of June-bearing varieties Renovation
26 Production Systems for Strawberries Day-neutral 5-10 Plant as soon as the soil can be worked (April) Flower blossoms should be removed the first year six weeks Runners removed throughout the first season Runners that grow in the aisles should be removed
27 Fertilizing Strawberries First year: One month after planting and again in late Aug. or Sept. 2# /100 Following years: After harvest and again in late August or Sept. 5# /100
28 Day-neutral Plants fruit from mid-august through the first frost Warm areas: 3 crops [spring, summer (-), fall crop (++)] Cool areas: consistent production Fertilizer requirement are high. Berry size decreases with years (kept only 2 to 3 years)
29 Mulching Apply 2 tons of straw/acre, Late Nov. to Late Dec. Mulch should be removed the following March (40 o F at a 4 depth)
30 Plasticulture Production of Day-Neutral varieties Suitable for cool region Not suitable _ warm summers 1 year planting High capital input High yield
31 Day-neutral Planting occurs in late spring large-size plugs are used
32 June-bearing varieties for different Production Systems June-bearing cultivars for matted-row production Earliglow Early Standard cultivar. Great flavor, good disease resistance. Moderately productive; size declines quickly over time. L Amour Early mid Nicely shaped fruit with good size, medium color, and above-average flavor. Honeoye Early mid Large fruit, high yields, perfumy flavor. Better in cooler regions. Quickly loses flavor during hot weather. Darselect Mid Nice size, shape, and flavor. Very susceptible to foliar diseases and fruit anthracnose. Allstar Mid Standard cultivar. Productive. Berries light in color, good size and shape. Susceptible to angular leaf spot. Jewel Mid late Standard cultivar. Productive. Large, firm fruit with good color. June-bearing cultivars for plasticulture production Sweet Charlie Early Low yields. Sweet. Grown primarily for early fruit. Wendy Early Nice size, shape, and flavor. New cultivar, for trial. Camarosa Mid Very firm fruit, but can produce high yields with good management. Chandler Late Standard for this system. Good flavor, high yields, has a long harvest season.. Susceptible to fruit anthracnose.
33 Day-Neutral varieties for different Production Systems Cultivar Seascape Everest Evie-2 Albion Tribute Tristar Comments The current standard. Sweet, medium-sized fruit with a medium red color. Skin splits when wet. Productive, but dark and soft. Susceptible to fruit anthracnose and verticillium wilt. Light color, soft fruit, average flavor. Huge fruit with great flavor and color, but yields tend to be low and trickle in over the season. Small, tart, firm fruit, but less tart than Tristar. Vigorous. Flavor is good but tart. Firm fruit; size is small in hot weather.
34 Landscape Value Ornamental Flowers pinks and whites Edible Fruit for humans and wildlife Common use Patch, foundation plantings, borders, islands, containers, pyramids, hanging baskets
35 Conclusion_Strawberries Strawberry Prices $2.22/lb December $0.74/lb July $2.22/lb conventional $3.22/lb organic
36 Brambles
37 Brambles General Information Morphology perennial roots and biennial shoots hardy (with variation) two types of canes - primocanes (1st yr) - floricanes (2nd yr)
38 Bramble Types Summer-bearing (floricane fruiting) Red/Black/Purple/Yellow Raspberries & Blackberries Fruit on 2nd year canes Need more pruning and trellising Fall-bearing (primocane fruiting) Reds/Yellows &Blackberries Fruit on 1st year canes Need less pruning and trellising
39 Bramble _ Red Raspberry Well suited for small farms 2 years required for establishment Produce for 6 to 15 years
40 Bramble _ Red Raspberry Selecting the site Wholesale Cooperatives Local retailers Roadside stand Pick your own operations CSA Processing firms

72 Conclusion Live and produce for 40 to 50 years Price $ 2.25/lb in PYO $ 6/ quart ($4/lbs) Higher price for organic
73 Production Systems for Strawberries
74 Blueberries Roughly 8 years are required for newly established cultivars to reach full productivity Biochar may increase yield of blueberries by about 20 to 40% and reduce establishment time from 8 to 6 years. Biochar is applied ar a rate of 1 ton (2000 lbs) per acre Benefits may last for decades Biochar cost is $800 per ton, you need to an increase in yield by 4.4% to break even over a 3 year period (calculated based on Michigan average value of $6000/acre). An increase of 10% will generate a profitability of $1000/acre In addition tom increased yield, reduced input such as fertilizer and water
