Effect of Plastic Mulches on Microclimate Conditions, Growth and Yields of Strawberry Plants Grown Under High Tunnels in Northern Canadian Climate

High tunnels are being used by specialty crop producers to enhance production yields and quality, extend growing seasons, and protect crops from extreme weather. The tunnels are unheated, plastic-covered structures under which crops are planted directly in the soil, and they provide greater environmental protection and control than open-ield production. This study uses ield-level experiments to evaluate high-tunnel production. The results suggest that investments in high tunnels can provide increased pro its and superior protection against adverse risks relative to crop insurance.
