Abstract

The impact of two drainage problems on cranberry yield was investigated. In the first case, a yield decline of 39% was measured for cranberries growing over clogged drains, and in the second case, an inadequate design of the drainage outlet was associated with a 25% yield reduction. This yield decrease vanished the following year after redesigning the outlet.
