Variety traits

Productivity of garden strawberry

Fragaria x ananassa Duchesne ex Rozier

A complex quantitative trait reflecting a cultivar's capacity to produce a yield through the number of flower stalks, berries per flower stalk, and average fruit weight. It is measured in g/plant or t/ha depending on the scale of production.

In the reference 99 varieties crop Garden strawberry, where this is mentioned in the description.

The productivity of garden strawberry is assessed as a combination of structural elements, including the number of flower stalks per plant, the number of berries per flower stalk, and the average fruit weight. A strong direct correlation has been established between the final yield and the number of flower stalks per plant.

In modern production conditions, cultivars with high potential include those with indicators ranging from 450 to 660 g/plant and yields of 15–16 t/ha or more. To achieve such results, a cultivar must have at least 7 flower stalks per plant with an average berry weight of 10.1 g or higher.

The realization of productivity depends on the cultivar's adaptability to abiotic factors and the quality of agronomic practices, such as fertigation and mulching. Traditionally, yield shows positive dynamics during the first years of operation, declining by the 3rd or 4th year due to the accumulation of diseases and pests.
