Abstract

Florida is the second-largest strawberry-producing state in the United States, , and high air temperatures pose significant challenges to the survival of the transplants. Typically, a large volume of irrigation water is needed to ensure proper strawberry plant establishment. To address these challenges, this Extension publication provides research-based recommendations on transplant establishment methods for strawberry growers in Florida.
