Strawberry research projects index - Pre 2008
The Horticulture levy funded an extensive programme of research and knowledge exchange. This page provides a topic themed index of research reports from older projects, largely completing before 2008. Reports and recomendations from more recent projects can be found from the main strawberry resources page.
Research project reports can also be found using the search option in the Research Library. The associated grower guidance, produced as factsheets, videos and webpages, can be found by using the search option in the Knowledge Library.
