Why it matters
Small gains in set, size, and fewer culls compound into real returns; the aim is to keep the plant from ever becoming limited.
When it appears
All season, starting at establishment.
How to identify it
- Below-potential marketable yield per area
- Small fruit, low fruit number, high culls
- Plant limited at some stage of the cycle
How to manage it
- Build roots early (Root Boost); feed balanced (NPK Pro); finish strong (Harvest Pro).
