Dear ASHS–10 Conference Attendees,
Welcome to the 107th Annual Conference of American Society for Horticultural Science, which is being held August 2–5 at the lovely Desert Springs JW Marriott Resort and Spa, located in Palm Desert, California. I understand that the Desert Springs Resort recently completed some fabulous renovations that include an impressive new porte-cochere that is the gateway to hotel’s new lobby, complete with smooth-flowing guest registration, a magnificent new 60-foot bar with a backdrop of cascading water, and the desert’s coolest new sushi bar. From the hotel’s impressive lobby you can enjoy the breathtaking views of the mountains. It is a lush exotic oasis amid pristine desert, where you can enjoy two 18-hole golf courses, spa, 4 signature restaurants, a high-energy nightclub, sparkling pools, shopping and more. What an opportunity to hold our Annual Conference in such a magnificent setting and it is a wonderful opportunity to fulfill my personal philosophy on planning meetings such that they have a “delicate blend of educational opportunities and entertainment.”
The conference committee along with the ASHS Headquarters staff has done an excellent job of organizing the conference which is filled with many great workshops, colloquia, poster and oral sessions.. The working groups have again proven that they are the spark plugs of the society’s engine by organizing 31 workshops that cover the waterfront of horticultural topics. In addition there are two excellent symposium being offered: one on “Current Issues and Applications in Horticultural Intellectual Property” and the second on “Microirrigation Technology”. The meeting also has the 23rd William A. “Tex” Frazier lecture being presented by Dr. Henry Thompson, Director of the Cancer Prevention Laboratory, Colorado State University. The 2010 B.Y. Morrison Memorial Lecture “Developing Strategies for Sustainable Production in a Changing Global Climate Scenario: Merging Physiological and Genetic Approaches” is being presented by Dr. Jiwan Palta, University of Wisconsin, Madison. At the Opening Plenary Session we will also present the Publication Awards, Career Awards, Student Scholars, and induct our newest class of ASHS Fellows. The Welcome Reception is a great time to renew old friendships and make some new friends and catch up on the latest news and views. The Annual Extension Banquet is back and offers a chance for some fun and socialization regardless of your academic appointment. The meeting offers an excellent opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to become more involved in the organization and a chance for networking both for graduate school opportunities as well as jobs after graduate school. The meeting is jammed packed with both intellectual and social activities and some excellent tours thrown in all at the right price thanks to the efforts of Mike, Tracy, and the dedicated staff at ASHS.
I believe we are on the road to having a great meeting in wonderful location! We are really thrilled that you have elected to join us in sunny Palm Desert, California, and we look forward to your participation in the conference. Looking forward to greeting you. William J. (Bill) Lamont ASHS President

Arnold has been actively involved in the ASHS, serving on 14 national and regional committees, as an Associate Editor for HortTechnology, chair of the Southern Region Executive Committee, chair of the ASHS Collegiate Activities Committee, and was elected President of the Southern Region–ASHS for 2011. Arnold also served the Department of Horticultural Sciences for nearly 5 years as Associate Head for Research and Graduate Studies, an additional 10 years as Internships and Jobs Coordinator, on 43 department, college, university, or agency level committees, and as cofounder of the Texas A&M University Horticultural Garden. He is the current chair of the department’s Promotion and Tenure Committee. Arnold serves as a regular reviewer for five refereed journals, has served as Executive Director of the Metropolitan Tree Improvement Alliance, and was a member of the Board of Directors of the Landscape Plant Development Center. Chad E. Finn is one of the world-wide leaders in berry crop genetics, clearly following in the great tradition of USDA small fruit breeders such as Frederick Coville and George Darrow. Remarkably, he has participated in the release of at least 35 new cultivars in 17 years: 10 strawberry, 13 blackberry, 6 raspberry, and 6 blueberry. Total fruit sales from these cultivars in 2008 was $18.4 million in the Pacific Northwest, with an additional $1.2 million in plant sales of USDA–ARS/ OSU cultivars at wholesale nurseries. Chad’s leadership abilities are legendary. He collaborates widely and generously with many other breeding programs, including those of Washington State University, the University of Arkansas, Oregon State University, Michigan State University, HortResearch in New Zealand, Agriculture and Agri-Food in Canada, as well as the USDA–ARS at Beltsville, MD, and Chatsworth, NJ. Chad’s scholarly accomplishments are truly amazing for this stage of his career, with more than 130 refereed articles and 20 book chapters, along with numerous abstracts and proceedings. These manuscripts represent collaborations with over 200 scientists in the United States and around the world. Chad has given numerous invited lectures all across the world, and organized many symposia. His high enthusiasm, engaging personality, and depth of knowledge have made him a 21
popular speaker, and his colleagues love sharing a podium with him. Particularly impressive has been his germplasm collection work into China, Chile, Ecuador, and the United States. He has been a worldwide leader in the evaluation of fruit chemistry traits associated with nutrition and flavor. Chad’s breadth of knowledge on minor fruits is unparalleled, evidenced by 13 contributions on minor fruits of the Rosaceae in the Encyclopedia of Fruit & Nuts. He has also found time to teach in two courses as an adjunct professor at Oregon State University and mentor 8 PhD and 9 Master students. He is widely known as an engaging, articulate lecturer. Chad is greatly appreciated for his warm and caring nature, quick and hardy laugh, and his indestructible good humor. Finn has also been a strong supporter of ASHS in many ways, including his substantial effort as a Consulting Editor in his service as Co-Editor of the Register of New Fruit and Nut Cultivars (a compilation published every other year in HortScience), in serving as chair of various working groups, organizing workshops at Annual Conferences, and contributing enthusiastic invited presentations at various workshops.
E. Barclay Poling North Carolina State University
Awardees will be recognized during the Opening Plenery Session, Monday, August 2, 10:00 am, in Desert Salon 7 22
E. Barclay Poling views horticultural industry problems as opportunities. As a new assistant professor, he began to critically examine the relative competitiveness of the North Carolina matted-row strawberry industry. From the beginning, he took advantage of opportunities and to see firsthand the world’s most technologically advanced strawberry industries and to work with such strawberry ‘gurus’ as Southern California’s Victor Voth. This motivated him to pursue a research agenda with the goal of identifying a strawberry growing system that would allow North Carolina farmers to successfully compete in fresh markets with California plasticulture strawberries—something that was clearly beyond the industry’s reach because its smaller matted-row berries were too-cost prohibitive to pick for the fresh market. Fast forward through about 25 years of well-documented research and extension reports of the different adaptations of the plasticulture growing system that were made to adapt annual hill plasticulture methods to state’s 3 climatic regions (coastal plain, piedmont, mountains)—and what has been learned is that the plasticulture growing system, and cultivars like ‘Chandler’ work especially well for direct marketing! Using this newer production system, U-Pick is still an economically viable marketing option for strawberry operations located near cities and major metropolitan areas in North Carolina. Plasticulture has also proven to be a tremendous boon for off-farm, “pre-pick” markets that include roadside stands, farmers markets, and supermarkets specializing in fresh, locally grown produce. Barclay Poling’s innovative research and extension program has created an opportunity for a virtual sea-change in how fresh, red-ripe strawberries are being grown and locally marketed in North Carolina and throughout the Mid-South today. With his continuing innovations in strawberry plug plant technology and row covers for frost and freeze protection, a number of innovative growers in states well north of the Mason–Dixon Line are adopting and adapting the North Carolina plasticulture system. USDA statistics show that North Carolina farmers have been able to utilize plasticulture technology to increase average strawberry yields by 470 lbs/acre/yr from 1991 to 2008. Poling’s strawberry research achievements and outstanding service to industry have been widely recognized as he has been the recipient of many notable awards including The Pioneer Award of the American Society for Plasticulture, the SR–ASHS H.M. Covington Award for Innovative Extension Programs, and his induction into the Academy of Outstanding Faculty Engaged in Extension at NC State University. 2010 ASHS Annual Conference

Katherine C. Sozansky University of Arkansas
Aaron Jantzi Yoder Kansas State University
2010 ASHS Annual Conference
According to Katherine C. Sozansky, “Like many students, I spent the first years of college pursuing interests, trying to find something to make college—and life—more worthwhile. I jumped from anthropology to psychology to nutrition, all in hopes that I would find a passion that I could pursue for the rest of my life. Outside of school, I became very interested in my own health and health in general. I read many books about nutrition science, but as I pursued a degree in nutrition, I still felt that something was missing.” She adds, “When I became interested in the process of growing food and how to go about growing healthy produce to consume, especially with my own hands, I felt like I had finally hit on what I was meant to study.” “My interest in healthy foods not only translates to my own health, but also to the health of all consumers, as well producers, their families, their community, and our environment. I feel like sustainable, organic production supports the health of all involved, while also following ecological practices that will support the land and soil ecology for many generations to come. I believe in teaching children to appreciate where their food comes from and all of the processes it takes to get their food from the farm to their fork, as well as to appreciate the hard work farmers and horticulturalists put into nurturing and cultivating the world’s food.” “One of the basic tenants of humanity is that we all have to eat, and the science behind feeding ourselves and feeding the land is what interests me most, and is what I plan to pursue through graduate school after I complete my undergraduate degree.” Aaron Jantzi Yoder, currently an undergraduate student in horticulture at Kansas State University, admits “This is not a decision I might have foreseen five or so years ago, but I am certainly content with my decision at the present.” He adds. “I have always been fascinated by the diversity of plant life that exists in our natural (and artificial) environments. The shapes, colors, and smells that plants provide are certainly aesthetically pleasing to our senses; however, my interest lies more in the function and use of these organisms. To speak and understand the science [of horticulture], one needs to first understand a plant. There is no better way to do this than to get your hands dirty, by experiencing plants in the physical sense. This is why I feel horticulture is such a good fit for me.” “It is likely that I will pursue a myriad of adventures once I graduate, but one goal is to establish a fruit and vegetable production operation. I am particularly interested in small-scale production and the technologies and techniques that make small-scale production profitable. Horticultural research is also attractive to me. I recognize that most of our botanical knowledge is a product of the innovation of horticulture. Where would plant science be if the greenhouse had not been developed? Would we really understand plants as much if our consumptive interests were absent? Blending horticultural management practices with ecological principles is an area of research that I find particularly interesting and would consider for graduate study.

William A. “Tex” Frazier Lecture
Breeding for Human Health Traits, an Emerging Facet in Contemporary Crop Improvement Monday, August 2, 2010
10:00 am–12:00 pm, Desert Salon 7 The American Society for Horticultural Science is pleased to welcome Henry J. Thompson as this year’s William A. “Tex” Frazier Lecturer. Thompson is the Director of the Cancer Prevention Laboratory at Colorado State University’s Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, College of Agricultural Sciences, in Fort Collins. According to Thompson, “Cancer, cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, and obesity are major health concerns in developed and developing regions around the world. These chronic diseases are in many circ*mstances considered to be preventable via various facets of lifestyle. Prominent among these lifestyle factors is the type and amount of food eaten, particularly those foods of plant origin. The primary mechanisms targeted for food-mediated disease risk reduction are altered glucose metabolism, chronic inflammation, excessive cellular oxidation, and/or chronic endotoxemia. Given the profound physical, psychosocial, and economic consequences of chronic diseases and the potential of food crops to meaningfully reduce chronic disease risk, we decided to challenge scientists in a broad array of disciplines to join forces in an effort to harness existing and emerging capabilities in agriculture and the biomedical sciences to reduce chronic disease prevalence. We have coined the term ‘biomedical agriculture’ to describe this transdisciplinary research effort.” Thompson’s presentation will highlight promising examples of the discovery process being used to develop more healthful food crops, as well as underscore challenges being encountered in pursuing this strategy. About the Speaker
Henry J. Thompson has contributed extensively to interest in the health benefits of economically important food crops and is now leading an effort to establish a transdisciplinary program that will foster contemporary approaches to crop improvement for biomedically important traits. Thompson is a member of the American Association for Cancer Research and the American Society for Nutri-
Henry J. Thompson Director, Cancer Prevention Laboratory Colorado State University
tion. Thompson earned his PhD from Rutgers University in nutritional sciences with an emphasis in biochemistry. He received postdoctoral training in the Department of Molecular Medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where he investigated the underlying causes of diabetes. In January 2003, he joined the faculty of Colorado State University and established the Cancer Prevention Laboratory (CPL) in the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture. Because of modest effects observed in women eating as much as 16 serving of vegetables and fruits per day, Thompson initiated discussions with plant breeders and producers of commercially important food crops, which led to the formulation of the hypothesis that the most health-beneficial food crop cultivars are currently not known, in part, because plant breeders and biomedical scientists have not had the opportunity to interact to determine “human health related plant characteristics.” He has a long-standing interest in the association between diet and breast cancer, and maintains an active program of clinical and laboratory research that addresses this topic. Thompson has published more than 140 journal articles and book chapters. About the Tex Frazier Lecture Series
The Tex Frazier Lecture series was named in honor of William A. “Tex” Frazier, an eminent member of the faculty at Oregon State University. The intent of the lecture series is: “to foster and promote reciprocal liaisons between ASHS and other professional groups; to recognize distinguished scholars and to bring their point of view to ASHS members; and to encourage the development of a holistic philosophy within the horticultural science profession so that ASHS members and students can enjoy the benefits of a broader perspective provided by an understanding of the interrelationship of seemingly diverse disciplines.”

Association of Collegiate Branches (ACB) Annual Business Meeting
Presiding: Jeremy Crook, ACB President Utah State University e-mail: [emailprotected] The ACB of the American Society for Horticultural Science was founded in 1961 by a group of concerned undergraduate horticulture students and Society members. The purpose of the member clubs is to encourage undergraduate participation in the Society, provide a forum for exchange of club and professional ideas, encourage a greater understanding of regional and national horticulture, and act as an official body for undergraduate horticulture student contribution. How is ACB organized? The ACB is broken into four regional group: Southern, Western, Northeastern, and Mid-Atlantic. Each region has its own constitution, officers, and annual meeting. Each year, ACB officers and members meet with ASHS at the Annual Conference. ASHS, in its role as the ACB’s parent organization, provides the ACB with administrative help and 43
Monday, August 2 guidance as well as providing financial support for some of the ACB activities. A student horticulture group at a college or university operating under the supervision of a member of ASHS may organize a collegiate branch and petition ASHS for charter of affiliation. What specific activities and involvement does ACB offer? Contests and competitions Each year the ACB, along with the Society, sponsors a paper and poster competition. The competition, which offers a plaque-mounted certificate for the winners, is held at the ASHS Annual Conference. Any undergraduate whose club is a member of the ACB or who is a Society undergraduate associate member is eligible to participate. Topics can range from scientific experiments carried out by the student to student-designed public gardens and landscapes. To participate, the student should contact a Society member on their faculty and under that faculty member’s direction, plan, carry out, write, and present the project. The student is then eligible to enter his or her paper or poster at both the regional and national levels. The Horticultural Commodity Judging Contest and Plant Identification Contest are held at each ASHS Annual Conference. Undergraduate students from member clubs compete by rating the quality of horticultural commodities, identifying a large number of plants, many from out of their region, and by taking general exam of horticultural knowledge. Regional and national meetings of the ACB allow students to participate in a number of educational and social events. Students are also given the opportunity to present their projects, enjoy tours of nearby horticulture industry and research facilities, take outings to tourist attractions, and attend Society paper presentations and symposia. Agenda Item: Student have proposed changing the by-laws to reflect a name change for the office of News Reporter /Historian to Communications Officer. This will be voted on at the 2010 ACB Business Meeting. 4:15–5:30 pm

Walking Tour of the Grounds of Marriott Hotel and Visit to Coachella Valley and Oasis Date Garden Preregistration is required.
The Desert Springs JW Marriott Resort and Spa includes 23 acres of landscape, 5000 trees, 1200 of which are palms, for a total of 31 tree species/varieties. Grounds were originally designed around the desert oasis concept. Ironically the hotel is becoming more “green” by converting to a desert landscape. Hotel has 27 acres of lakes, including the large one that also serves as the irrigation pond. The irrigation pond is managed as a natural ecosystem without chemicals and contains bass, carp, bluegill, and 6 other fish species. Part of our tour will include a visit to the Marriott’s golf course to view drill and fill renovation. Bell Peppers grown under shade house in Oasis, CA. The unique climate of the low desert allows vegetable growers to meet production windows unavailable to the rest of the USA. Peppers are planted at the peak of the summer heat for late fall harvest. Coachella Valley Water District. Visit the irrigation facilities and learn about the history of irrigated agriculture in the low desert and its current challenges. Oasis Date Garden. Most of the dates produced in the United States are from the Coachella Valley. This tour includes a film on history of dates, sampling of the many date varieties, and a chance to buy date products. 8:00 am–12:00 pm

B.Y. Morrison Memorial Lecture Series
Developing Strategies for Sustainable Production in a Changing Global Climate Scenario Tuesday, August 3, 2010 1:00–2:00 pm, Springs H&I
The Agricultural Research Service (ARS), USDA’s principal in-house scientific agency, and ASHS welcome Jiwan Palta, University of Wisconsin, Madison, as the 2010 B.Y. Morrison Memorial Lecturer. Palta will speak on “Developing Strategies for Sustainable Production in a Changing Global Climate Scenario: Merging Physiological and Genetic Approaches.” Says Palta, “Environmental stresses including cold, heat, drought, and flooding cause major losses in food production every year all around the world. Global climate change models suggest erratic weather patterns making the impact of these stresses more severe and unpredictable.” He adds, “It will take a major effort to mitigate the impact of these environmental stresses. More likely solutions will emerge from team effort combining several disciplines such as breeders and physiologists working together. Approaches to find solution should include: i) Understanding mechanisms of injury and adaptation to environmental stresses on the whole plant and cellular levels. ii) Understanding and exploiting genetic variations for traits linked to these mechanisms in wild and cultivated germplasm. iii) Developing strategies to move these traits to develop new cultivars with potential to sustain productivity under unfavorable environment. iv) Developing production practices that mitigate the impact of these stresses on crop production.” Jiwan Palta has made landmark research contributions in the areas of plant cold hardiness, plant cell membrane function, potato tuber quality in relation to calcium nutrition, fruit ripening, and senescence. His work has led to the understanding of the mechanism of freezing injury and cold acclima(206) Using Moodle and Multimedia Elements for Online Course Delivery at Land Grant Institutions in the Western Pacific *James McConnell

His discovery of using lysophosphatidylethanolamine, a natural lipid, as a bioregulator is now being commercialized in wide variety of crops. In addition, his discovery of tuber roots has led to the development of a new concept in potato tuber nutrition and three commercial products currently used by potato growers Palta received his BS (1966) and MS (1968) degree in Soil Science from the Punjab Agricultural University and PhD (1976) in Plant Physiology from the University of Minnesota. He has been a faculty member of the Department of Horticulture at the University of Wisconsin since 1982 and was promoted to the rank of Professor in 1991. Among current responsibilities, he is serving as the Director of the Wisconsin Potato Breeding Program. He was awarded the Campbell-Bascom Distinguished Professorship by the University of Wisconsin in 1999. Palta received the ASHS Researcher of the Year Award in 2004 and elected a Fellow of the Society in 2006. About the B.Y. Morrison Lecture
The B.Y. Morrison Lecture was established in 1968 by the Agricultural Research Service(ARS) of the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture (USDA), to honor the memory of Benjamin Y. Morrison (1891–1966) and to recognize scientists who have made outstanding contributions to ornamental horticulture and other environmental sciences, to encourage the wide application of these sciences,and to stress the urgency of preserving and enhancing natural beauty. The Morrison Lecture is on a scientific or policy topic of the lecturer’s choice. *Paul C. Siciliano, Jr., Matthew A. Jenks, Laura E. Ollier, Michael N. Dana

This project entitled “RosBREED: Enabling marker-assisted breeding in the Rosaceae” involves four crop groups, apple, strawberry, peach and cherry, and 12 breeders. We are very interested in extending the reach of our project to other rosaceous crop breeders who are not in our grant and fruit breeders in general. As the first translational genomics CAP project funded for a fruit crop family, our project would provide non-rosaceous crop breeders insight into how one diverse plant community came together to embrace our crop diversity (and polyploid complexity) and move forward with a common goal.

Topic: Horticulture Collaborative Research Support Program The world’s rural poor are trapped in a cycle of poverty. Unable to afford adequate inputs (better seeds, fertilizer, and water), and disconnected from markets, they eke out an existence growing low-value staple crops. Production of high value horticultural crops is seen in many areas as a promising opportunity to break this cycle, thus improving both livelihoods and nutrition. To really help the poor requires technology, markets, inputs, trained people and supportive government policies; a total package creating an enabling environment. To create this enabling environment, the U.S. Agency for International Development has selected the University of California, Davis, to manage a new $15 million, five-year Global Collaborative Research Support Program (CRSP) in Horticulture (hortcrsp.ucdavis.edu). The project will support partnerships between U.S. public universities and developing country partners to undertake research, capacity building, policy development and extension to make a difference in many of the poorest countries in the world.

Celebrity Homes Tour with Elvis Honeymoon Hideaway Preregistration required.
This tour will take you through downtown Palm Springs and on to Rancho Mirage, and Cathedral City. Palm Springs’ days as the playground of Hollywood’s elite are long gone, and today you’d be hard-pressed to find even a trace of it downtown. The Palm Springs Walk of Stars keeps the memory alive, with everyone honored on it having lived in the town.You will see the Horizon Hotel which was built in 1952 as a getaway for Hollywood producer Jack Wrather and his wife, designed by William A. Cody. The low, flat roofs and clean lines are typical of mid-20th century buildings in Palm Springs, but this place has a twist: There are no square corners so the rooms and structures are all slightly diamond-shaped. Next you will visit a mid century modernistic home known as the Elvis Honeymoon Hideaway because of its famous residents, Elvis and Priscilla Presley. The Mid Century Modernism Classic Estate was built in the early 1960’s by a prominent Palm Springs developer Robert Alexander for his wife, Helene. The house was designed in four perfect circles, on three seperate levels, incorporating glass and peanut brittle stonework to allow indoor-outdoor living. Nestled at the base of the San Jacinto mountains, the honeymoon suite offers a panoramic view of the Santa Rosa Mountains and the Coachella Valley.

Presidential Address
An Interactive Look at Who We Are and How History Speaks to Us Today Wednesday, August 4, 2010 2:00–3:00 pm, Desert Salon 7 Did you know that there is no option for not presenting the Presidential Address unless you are on your deathbed and even then I suspect that they would wheel you in or in the age of electronic wizardry, I am sure that Dr. Tim Rhodus would link you up and you could give a webinar!! According to Jacob Kingsley Shaw in his Presidential Address in 1938, captured forever in print by the noted ASHS Poet Laureate and historian Dr. Jules Janick in his tome, Presidential Addresses 1903–2003, he stated “The first printed copy of our By-Laws requires that the president shall deliver an address at each regular meeting and this is one section that has never been amended”. So here I am with the daunting task of imparting some words of wisdom while keeping you awake for at least the first four hours of my presentation. Remember also this is address is being prepared by a person who upon making Full Professor was asked by the Provost of the University to recognize that achievement by selecting a book to be placed in the Penn State Library and I chose “Lonesome Dove” by Larry McMurtry. There is a story behind that selection that goes to the heart of my address today. Being a good student of history and applied researcher, I decided the first step in this process was to review all the Presidential Addresses since I suspected that these were people
who had something to say about horticulture and the state of affairs during their careers. The diversity of subjects and length of the addresses certainly warrant a scientific study in itself. In my address I will tease out some of their nuggets of wisdom that I believe speak to the issues that we horticulturists face today. It will be done with a seamless blend of humor, entertainment and enlightenment. I also want to keep the address interactive in the purest sense, not the electronic enlightenment but the good old fashion one on one human interaction so as to tease out some nuggets of information on horticulture and the society from you the audience. Being an extension specialist and teacher and I am a firm believer that you cannot have enough interaction. I trust at the end of my address that at least half of you will remember at least one thing I said and the other half will be knowledgeable enough to ask the other half what I said. Having said all that, I am now looking forward with excitement to fulfilling my obligation to you the members and presenting the Presidential Address at the 107th Annual Conference in sunny California.

Workshop 23: Strawberry Cold Protection and Crop Growth Enhancement with Floating Row Covers Sponsor: ASHS Industry Division
Coordinator: E. Barclay Poling, [emailprotected] Radiation frosts and freezes can seriously damage unprotected strawberry buds and blossoms. Historically, overhead sprinkler irrigation has been the primary strategy to protect this crop from cold injury, but in more recent years there has been a shift away from sprinkler irrigation to floating row covers in North Carolina’s strawberry plasticulture production, as well as other strawberry growing areas in the Mid-South, Northeast and Midwest. Row covers have several important advantages over sprinkling, including important water savings, reduced soil erosion, reduced fertilizer leaching, and reduced fuel/energy usage. However, row cover application and removal is labor intensive and larger scale farmers in commercial growing areas such as Southwest Central Florida (>3645 ha), seriously question the technical and economic feasibility of utilizing row covers as an alternative to sprinkler irrigation for frost protection during their winter harvest season. There are added issues with row covers that relate to However, due to the severity of a freeze that occurred in Florida on January 11-14, 2010, strawberry producers were forced to pump more than 3.8 million liters/ha (407 thousand gallons of water per acre) to protect their crop from cold injury, and this led to massive sinkholes on Interstate-4 (Orlando-Tampa) as well as depleting neighborhood water supplies for over 400 residents in the Plant City area—where most of the industry’s strawberry production is concentrated. Furthermore, sprinkler irrigation did not provide complete protection against crop cold injury on many farms in January 2010. There is relatively little local expertise in using row covers as an alternative mitigation method in Florida, and an important purpose of this workshop will be to discuss how row cover technology might be profitably adapted to strawberry enterprises in Florida as well as other production areas in the U.S. and North American where sprinkler irrigation has been the predominant method of frost and freeze protection in strawberry. 3:30–3:50 pm A Grower Perspective on the Florida Strawberry Industry and the Impact of the January 2010 Freeze as Well as How Row Covers May Be Utilized in Florida to More Effectively Control Frost and Freeze Losses *Porter Hare
