    Day-neutral Strawberry Production in Minnesota
    (Department of Horticultural Science, 2016) Hoover, Emily E; Luby, Jim; Rosen, Carl; Wold-Burkness, Suzanne
    Day-neutral strawberries differ from traditional June-bearing types in that they flower and fruit continuously when temperatures are moderate because they are insensitive to day length. This bulletin provides an overview of day-neutral strawberry establishment and management. Includes cultivar selection, spacing and planting, nutrient management, weed management, insect and disease management, and overwintering.
