2017 ASHS Annual Conference

Strawberry production practices vary by region and thus understanding the challenges, needs, and opportunities for each region in the US is pivotal to enable development of general and regional specific educational tools. Speakers invited to talk at the workshop have extensive experience working with this crop in their respective regions, and attendees will be encouraged to ask pertinent questions after speaker talks. We anticipate that at the end of the workshop attendees will become be aware of production practices of strawberries across the different regions of the country and will be able to identify threats, priorities, and challenges for each of the strawberry production regions. Opportunities for improving and expanding strawberry production in the US will be discussed.
