Sfravberry Production Can Be lipped
By Paul Berwick
' New and - better techniques in
; strawberry production are again
t. putting the strawberry back into
the picture in Eastern North Caro
lina as a major spring money crop
V More and more empnasU is being
placed on the crop. Extension speci
alists from N. C. State College are
. bringing to the strawberry producer
the new found results of research in
, and effort to enhance the straw
berry production.
"r - Two meetings have been held,
one at Wallace and the other at Mt
'.Olive, to give this information to
strawberry producers.
.-Mel Kolbe, Extension Horticul
ture Specialits, points out that
strawberry yields can definitely be
, increased where recommended pra
ctices are followed from setting of
the plants to picking and marketing.
.Under roper conditions, the yield
can actually be more than doubled
' over the present 200 to 300 24-pint
: crates per acre. It is pointed out
that where 8000 pints of berries are
produced for a return of $1,580 that
the net return is an average of $434.
M, taking into consideration all ex
penses. The net return represents
a return to land, management and
capital, Kolbe says.
Concerning strawberry diseased,
J. C. Wells, Extension Plant Path
' ologist,' says nematodes and gray
mold fruit rot are probably the two
'which give the most trouble. -
. - Nematodes,, in strawberries can
jIJ be eontfallad. , through ..(broadcast

' ' there are ways of controlling mold

Jt la pointed out that if the plants
(l ' have nematodes on them when set
out,, that, fumigation does no good.
' So, that means that plants set out

' s-ated and from plants that were
originally certified, or persent certi
fied plants.

tomologist, reports that controlling
