Stevens, varying nutrient management and other conditions. The challenge, noted Wallis, will be


to get some revenue off the fields too, to help fund the work and operation of the research farm. The centre, located on a 20-acre


parcel along 72nd Street, is managed by the B.C. Cranberry Research Society, under two committees, a grower and science advisory group. The grower body will set priorities


while the scientific one will look at the scientific setup. Wallis is an agrologist who is also executive-director of the Cranberry Growers Association part-time. The project received $203,000


from Western Economic Diversification which helped get the land cleared and the bogs created and dyked.


Declining crop levels have been a concern in recent years in the B.C. cranberry industry, so it's hoped the centre can help in providing answers that will turn that around. Since plants take several years to


reach maturity, variety trials will take some time to begin to yield some results, as well as fruit.


Bogballe Model L1-Base, Row Crop Spreader


Standard Equipment: hydraulic remote control, hopper cover, cat. II 3 pt hitch, sieves, twin disks, degree meter, PTO w/sealed clutch, 775L / 0.775 cu meter capacity. Row widths - 2 to 6 meters. Spreading pattern - 1 to 2 meters on each row.


Ideal for use in vineyards, fruit orchards and berry production, the L1 spreader is mounted with row equipment made of stainless steel. The spreader is fitted with a hopper with a width of only 125 cm (49”) for narrow distances between rows of plants, bushes or trees.


The row equipment places the fertiliser in 100-120 cm (39”-47”) bands around the plant base so that the use of nutrients is optimized. The row spacing can be adjusted in stepless settings between 1.5 and 5 metres (4’-11” and 16’-5”) using the angled flaps at each side.


The 2-row equipment is easily mounted and dismounted using only a single lever. Without row equipment installed, the spreader can work at spread widths from 10 - 18 metres (32’-10” - 59’-0”).
