Stolon production by strawberry plants in Florida fruiting fields is highly undesirable. Stolons (runners) act as a sink for photosynthates and nutrients, reducing the amount of resources available for fruit production in an annual hill production system. The presence of stolons makes it more difficult for pickers to find berries among the excess vegetation. Hence, manual labor must be used to remove runners in the fruiting field at a cost of $40 to $60 per acre. If a low-cost chemical means could be found to reduce or eliminate runner production in the fruiting field, producers would benefit greatly. This document is HS989, one of a series of the Horticultural Sciences Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Pesticide use values for 2004 compared to peak usage data for the period 1992 through 2004 demonstrate a 75% reduction in the application of restricted or “Danger”-labeled insecticides in fresh market tomato. Paraquat use was reduced by 31%. Fumigant use (17% reduction) was mainly influenced by rate reduction, rather than reduction of use (1-7). This document is PI-87, one of a series of publications of the Pesticide Information Office, Agronomy Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida. Published November 2005.

Some growers produce trees in fabric containers above ground. The fabric allows air to prune roots and the fabric itself prunes roots. The result is a reduction in the amount of roots circling around the container wall. There is little published information on the tree growth in this production system.
