Sensor-controlled fertigation management for higher yield and quality in greenhouse hydroponic strawberries by George Kerrigan Hutchinson, Lan Xuan Nguyen, Zilfina Rubio Ames, Krishna Nemali, Rhuanito Soranz Ferrarezi

“…Comprehensive comparisons among the different strategies are lacking because they are often associated with complicated evapotranspiration models. The use of soil moisture sensors coupled with automated controllers that apply water when the substrate moisture drops below a set threshold has been proven efficient for select ornamental crops and citrus nursery crops but not for strawberries yet. …”
