Based on the data collected in this trial,the use of one quart per acre of Absolute Acid™ on a 14 day schedule appeared to have a significant effect in decreasing the long term negative effect of sodium chloride on the production of strawberry fruit. These production differentials seemed to have been attained via higher quality and larger fruit on average. Increases in the average number of harvest-able marketable fruit were also seen. Though production increases were not seen with the other program (Absolute Acid™/Universal™) the ratio of higher quality fruit was also seen through the use of this program.
