Economic performance and comparative riskiness of different management practices for control of botrytis fruit rot in florida strawberry
چکیده انگلیسی


- The traditional calendar-based system was outperformed by certain SAS-based options.
- SAS Switch and SAS Luna Privilege are the least risky disease management options.
- SAS Switch and SAS Luna Privilege should be used under high disease pressure.

Florida strawberry farmers usually rely on weekly calendar fungicide applications to prevent yield loss from Botrytis fruit rot (BFR). The Strawberry Advisory System (SAS), which helps optimize the timing of fungicide applications, is an additional tool in the farmers' arsenal of disease control options. This study uses data from two-year production trials in Florida combined with historical strawberry prices to measure the economic performance of the Calendar and SAS-based BFR management practices under output price risk and producers' risk preferences. We use Monte Carlo simulation to model the effect of the variability in weekly output prices on farm returns. Results reveal that the traditional calendar-based system is not the least risky BFR management option as growers expected to be. SAS-based options such as SAS-Switch and SAS-Luna would be preferred by both risk-neutral and risk-averse producers and are recommended under high disease pressure conditions.
