In the early 2000s, research was undertaken to evaluate day-neutral (DN) strawberry production in higher elevations in western North Carolina for harvest in the summer and fall. The effect of DN cultivar, plastic mulch color, planting dates, and plant types was studied in at the Upper Mountain Research Station, Laurel Springs, NC (elevation 914 m) over several seasons. In the 2004 season, the DN ‘Everest’ had yields of nearly 1 kg/plant on white plastic mulch using plugs transplanted in late Sept. 2003. However, ≈95% of ‘Everest's’ production occurred in July and August, when U.S. strawberry prices to growers in wholesale fresh markets have averaged $1.32 and $1.68 kg, respectively (2001 to 2005). Assuming a production level of ≈1 kg/plant, market prices above $2.48 kg (breakeven cost) will be needed to make day-neutral strawberry production in the southern Appalachians a profitable venture. We observed peak periods of heavy production in midsummer and more research is needed to identify cultural strategies with plastic mulches, plant types, and possibly rowcovers to increase fall fruit volumes.}, number={7}, journal={HORTSCIENCE}, author={Ballington, James R. and Poling, Barclay and Olive, Kerry}, year={2008}, month={Dec}, pages={1982–1986} } @article{carpio_safley_poling_2008, title={Estimated costs and investment analysis of producing and harvesting muscadine grapes in the southeastern United States}, volume={18}, number={2}, journal={HortTechnology}, author={Carpio, C.

The selection of an active frost protection system depends on a number of factors, including the prevailing climatic conditions that occur during the spring season at the vineyard location, the costs associated with different frost control systems as well as considerations related to the reliability and relative simplicity of operating the equipment associated with each method. In winegrape production areas in North Carolina, hoar (white) frosts are the predominant cold threat in the postbudbreak period. A wind machine can be a very cost-effective investment on sites that are prone to a damaging frost event in 1 of 5 years or with a higher frequency of occurrence. However, wind machines have less overall usefulness in growing areas where there is also potential for black frosts (a more damaging radiational event than a hoar frost) and frosts/freezes (events with subfreezing temperatures and winds in the range of 2.2 to 4.5 m·s−1). For black frost events, a well-designed overvine sprinkling system can provide nearly 6 °C protection; sprinkling is also an appropriate management option for frost/freeze events. Windborne freezes are far less common at the postbudbreak stages but represent the most damaging type of cold event that can occur in eastern and midwestern winegrape regions in the United States. Methods that reliably delay budbreak (e.g., dormant oils, evaporative cooling with targeted sprinklers) may represent the best near-term opportunity for growers to decrease or avoid vine injury from freeze events such as the early April Easter freeze of 2007 that devastated grape vineyards through much of the midwest and southeastern United States.}, number={6}, booktitle={HortScience}, author={Poling, E.

New approaches, including a “participatory model,” have been proposed as a mechanism to provide public feedback to land-grant scientists on relevant areas of basic science and encourage implementation of new technologies.

With this system berries can be harvested in just 7 to 8 months after planting. The spring harvest season can last up to 6 weeks in most years. Strawberry plasticulture growers in North Carolina typically experience yields of 17,000 to 18,000 lbs/acre (19,054 to 20,174 kg/ha). Cash expenses for the system are approximately $4345/acre ($10,736/ha). The system requires both an overhead sprinkler system for blossom and bud frost/freeze protection, and drip irrigation for supplying water and fertilizer in the prebloom, bloom and fruiting periods. Sandy loam and clay loam soils are ideal for forming the 10-inch-high (25.4 cm) beds with bedding machines.
