5 Types of Structures
6 Structure of the Program Research, Extension and Education. Involvement: Research studies and validations. Field demonstrations. Advising and consulting.
7 Areas of Expertise Structures and maintenance. Soil/soilless media. Cultural practices. Irrigation and water management. Fertilization and plant nutrition. Pest management: Other scientists.
8 Main Principles Protected ag is not only for the rich, but rather for the rich of creativity, ideas and desire! Keep it simple! Work as much as possible with materials and resources that the grower already has.
9 Horticultural Program at the GCREC: Area Served under Protected Agriculture in Florida Crops Acreage Strawberry Tomato Pepper Blueberry Herbs Total
10 Potential Benefits for Florida Early production: Competitive edge in the market. Grow diverse crops and cultivars. Freeze protection: Reduced water consumption. Reduced low fuel/electricity. Reduced foliar and fruit diseases. Intensive ag: Intercropping and soilless culture.
11 Strawberry under Tunnels Three studies: , and Open field and high-tunnel culture. RCB design with 4 replications. Early (6 harvests) and total fruit weight. Water use for freeze protection.
12 Effective freeze protection 27 o F Water use: 2.5 acre-inch/acre/night 43 o F Water use: 0

15 Performance of Blueberry Cultivars under High Tunnels Teresa Salamé and Bielinski M. Santos Gulf Coast Research and Education Center IFAS, University of Florida
16 Blueberry Prices Harvest season north Fla.: April 1 to May 15
17 Objective To compare early yield of two blueberry cultivars grown under high tunnels and in open fields.
18 Materials and Methods Summer management.
19 Materials and Methods Waldo, Florida & 2011 seasons. Fine sand soil and pinebark beds. Black row covers.
20 Materials and Methods Open fields and high tunnels. Two blueberry cultivars Snow Chaser Springhigh Split-plot design. 4 replications.
21 Materials and Methods Freeze protection: Open field (sprinklers:120 gal/min/acre). High tunnels (minisprinklers: 60 gal/min/acre). Turn on water at 33 o F.
22 Temperatures 2010 Days under 33F Min. Temp. (F) Max. Temp. (F) Open field Open field High tunnel entrance High tunnel center Days under 33F Min. Temp. (F) Max. Temp. (F) Open field Open field High tunnel entrance High tunnel center
23 Water Savings Considering the temperatures on 2010, the potential savings could be: -Open fields: 60,000 gal/acre x 25 days = 1,500,000 gal/acre/season -High tunnels: 30,000 gal/acre x 8 days = 240,000 gal/acre/season Savings: 1.25 gal/acre/season
