Mill.) cultivars. For plants grown in soil-less medium, 2 tensiometer-controlled, drip-irrigation scheduling methods were compared. ‘Michigan’—‘Ohio’ hybrid fruit cracked significantly more than the 3 remaining cultivars, but did not differ in production of total and No. 1 fruit. The amount and severity of fruit cracking was least from the soil-less, bag-cultured plants. Total mean fruit weight was greatest from soil-grown plants. Although no differences in cracking occurred in the fruit from soil-less, bag-cultured plants, those whose irrigation was based on soil-less medium tensiometer readings produced lower total mean fruit weight than those whose irrigation was based on soil tensiometer readings. Number and weight of defective fruit was lowest from plants grown in soil-less medium and whose irrigation was based on soil tensiometer readings, and greatest from soil-grown plants. Fruit cracking was reduced by increasing the irrigation frequency from 1 to 4 times daily.}, number={3}, journal={Scientia Horticulturae}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Abbott, J.D. and Peet, M.M. and Willits, D.H. and Sanders, D.C. and Gough, R.E.}, year={1986}, month={Apr}, pages={209–217} }
