Having fresh, local strawberries within reach across Texas is getting closer to reality, though growers and researchers alike say producing the popular fresh fruit is a new field altogether.
Dr. Russ Wallace is leading a two-year research effort as part of the National Strawberry Sustainability Initiative, which focused on production techniques the first year and is zoning in on marketing until it ends in June of this year.
The production lessons learned by the project participants have been described in a handbook, “Production Guide for Texas-Grown Strawberries,” and is available on the online Texas A&M AgriLife Bookstore, https://www.agrilifebookstore.org/.
