Abstract:
|
"This project has two principle aims. Firstly, to accelerate the rate of adoption of new varieties by the Western Australian strawberry industry by providing specific agonomic and post harvest information to accompany commercial releases. Growers will profit through a reduction in the initial period of trial and error that usually accompanies new varieties. In addition, the post-harvest evaluations will ensure those varieties with poor handling characteristics or lacking in taste, are culled before large antities are planted. Together these will maximise grower profit and market (wholesaler and consumer) satisfaction. The second aim is to demonstrate and facilitate more widespread adoption of "best practice" irrigation and nutrition." -- Introduction.
