Cranberry Station Best Management Practices Guide - 2000 Edition

Cranberry Station Best Management Practices Guide - 2000 Edition

 

This revised Guide (2000) has been designed primarily as a reference resource for cranberry growers. The intent is to provide information that will help growers to farm profitably and in harmony with their neighbors and the surrounding environment. It will serve as a companion to the Cranberry Chart Book - Management Guide for Massachusetts, published by Cranberry Experiment Station (UMass Extension). The revised Guide has been set up as a series of 24 ‘stand-alone’ practices (15 new or revised). This facilitates the periodic revision of individual practices as necessary and allows for the addition of more practices over time.

Each section of the Guide begins with a description of the part of cranberry production addressed in that BMP. This information is for the benefit of newer growers and to serve as a point of reference for others (Conservation Commissions, regulators, Environmental groups) who might receive these materials. Following the introductory section is a series of Recommended Practices designed to maximize productivity while preserving the environment. Of course, not all growers will be able to implement every Recommended Practice due to financial and site constraints, but having such a list in-hand should prove valuable as cranberry farmers strive to maintain profitable and environmentally compatible operations. Each BMP ends with a list of reference materials that growers can consult for further information. All of these materials will be available in the library at the Cranberry Experiment Station.
