Manure Boosts Strawberry Yields in Tests
Soil tests show strawberries respond to organic matter. stable manure applied at 6 to 20 tons per acre and plowed under before planting enhances production. Commercial fertilizer tests at the Experiment Station indicate large amounts of organic matter improve yields for strawberries.
Experiments Seek Best Fertilizer for Strawberries
Field tests at Muscatine Island Fruitland show commercial fertilizers fail to replace humus from barn or green manure. 7-7 formulations at 800 to 2000 pounds per acre reduce yields in spring but 3 to 5 year old plantings show significant gains over unfertilized plots. Plan calls for starting a strawberry bed 2 to 3 years ahead by introducing organic matter, with overhead irrigation to study fertilizer and moisture effects.
