Optimising the propagation environment in controlled environment systems to maximise strawberry yields

NIAB

Project objectives

Total Controlled Environment Agriculture (TCEA) growing systems offer a potential solution to our expanding population, climate change and food security. The strawberry industry is keen to employ such systems in the propagation of high quality planting material. Working with a multi-disciplinary team of researchers, technology companies and growers, NIAB scientists will develop a method to produce high quality, virus-and disease-free strawberry plant propagules with assured high cropping potential in TCEA systems.
