Project objectives from proposal:
In general, we plan to use paired comparison experimental design to evaluate 2 approaches for on farm propagation under controlled conditions. In evaluating progress and outcomes we’ll look at factors such as the rate of plant growth and plant health as well as consider the costs associated with each potential solution.
- Identification of specimen plants for propagation
- In field and data-based on historical growth, processing success/marketability
- Year 1: Experiment 1:
- Comparison of 2 propagation approaches
- Year 2: Experiment 2:
- Comparison of 2 nursery approaches to grow the plants on for transplanting
