Western flower thrips (WFT) and several other thrips species, are the nemesis of strawberry growers. No more so than at Bellis Brothers near Wrexham, where thrips wiped out a crop worth £25,000 three years ago. Even when using chemical controls, the business will lose an average of 5-10% of its outdoor-grown strawberry fruit to thrips in any given year. Alternative and more ...
Does going to the extreme in fertilizer application overcome yield limitations? When it comes to plant development and yield, imbalance is more likely to threaten soil health, production and your pocketbook. Instead, achieving nutrient balance is crucial to crop success. With that in mind, we reflect on the often-perceived conflicting theories – Liebig’s Law of Minimum and ...
