Flexible tent systems, a possible control measure against the fungal disease gray mold, in organic and conventional strawberry production. TELTSYS

This project will test a flexible tent system designed to protect outdoor-grown strawberries from rain using a tarpaulin. When the rain stops, the tarpaulin is rolled up again. This approach is expected to reduce damage caused by the plant disease gray mold and improve the quality of the harvested berries. It could become a highly valuable measure in organic production, as well as in conventional farming by reducing the need for chemical pesticide applications. The trial will take place at Tussvikbær AS in Surnadal
