Self-fertility — Garden Strawberry

Fragaria x ananassa Duchesne ex Rozier

Most garden strawberry cultivars are hermaphroditic, which allows them to fruit without cross-pollination; however, the term "self-fertility" is not used as a quantitative parameter in breeding selection.

In the reference 21 varieties crop Garden strawberry, where this is mentioned in the description.

For garden strawberries, the concept of self-fertility is closely linked to the hermaphroditic nature of flowers, which contain both female and male organs. Unlike some other species of the genus Fragaria, cross-pollination is not a prerequisite for fruit formation in most commercial garden strawberry cultivars.

In professional agronomy and breeding, this trait is not measured as an independent parameter, as it is not a limiting factor for yield. Instead of evaluating self-fertility, specialists analyze overall productivity, berry weight, and market quality, which are influenced by external pollination conditions.

Poor pollination, even in hermaphroditic cultivars, often leads to fruit malformation during adverse weather or in protected ground conditions. In greenhouse environments, additional measures are required for proper berry set, such as the use of bumblebees or intensive ventilation to ensure pollen transfer.
