“…Runner tips were collected %30 d before the scheduled tunnel planting date and planted in 50-cell plug trays (%115 cm 3 per plug) containing soilless planting media described previously. Runner tips were maintained in a greenhouse under intermittent mist for 20 d and then removed from intermittent mist for another 10 d before planting (Durner et al, 2002;Hokanson et al, 2004;Takeda and Newell, 2006). During the last 10 d, a 20-20-20 water soluble fertilizer mix was applied at 100 ppm nitrogen at each irrigation.…”

High tunnels have been used successfully in many areas of the world to extend the growing season for numerous crops. However, very little research has been conducted to evaluate the season extension benefits offered by high tunnels for small fruit crops in high-elevation growing areas such as the Intermountain West region of the United States. The use of high tunnels was investigated in North Logan, UT (lat. 41.766 N, elev. 1405 m, 119 freeze-free days) to extend the growing season for June-bearing strawberries. Growing systems included a fall-planted annual hill system and vertical growing systems in two different orientations. Optimum planting date for each system was determined by transplanting ‘Chandler’ plugs at 2-week intervals over 10 weeks. For the second year of the study, a field planting was also included. Over two seasons, the optimum planting dates were approximately the first week of September. The vertical systems were more susceptible to winter injury likely resulting from the temperature extremes in the root zone. Where winter injury was prevented, the vertical systems had higher yields per tunnel area than the in-ground system, but yield increases did not compensate for higher construction and management costs. The production window for the in-ground high tunnel planting was ≈4 weeks earlier than the field-grown plants and increased profitability by $13/m2 of tunnel area.

“…In our study daughter plants varied in weight from 5.2 to 12.2 g. The average weight of a secondary daughter plant in the study conducted by Takeda et al [7] was 6.7 g. These authors also proved that daughter plant weight declines with the increasing position of a runner plant on the runner. Their studies and other reports [14] showed a significant effect of daughter plant weight on plant yield. K e h o e et al [29] demonstrated that the average fruit weight was higher from plants grown from large daughter plants.…”

“…The use of containerized plug transplants improves plant survival at planting [6]. They are also easier to plant, require less irrigation during crop establishment, and produce higher fruit yield [3,6,14]. According to H o c h m u t h et al [3], not only less water is required to establish plug strawberry plants than bare-root plants, but also they grow and form flowers more rapidly.…”

Influence of the quality of mother plants on selected parameters of Fragaria x ananassa ‘Elsanta’ daughter plants

A b s t r a c tHigh quality planting material is the basis for good strawberry yields. The productivity of strawberry mother plants depends on many factors, but there is little published work on the effects of type and initial size of mother plants on the quality of daughter plants. In the presented study, strawberry mother plants (cultivar 'Elsanta') were grown in an unheated tunnel in plastic pots filled with peat-based substrate (5 dm 3 ). The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of type (fresh-dug plants and frigo) and initial size (A and A+ plants) of strawberry mother plants on selected parameters of daughter plants (crown diameter, fresh and dry weight as well as number and area of leaves). The study was carried out in 2006 and 2007. Strawberry mother plants were planted in the second decade of April and daughter plants were detached in the second decade of August. All measurements were performed on the second daughter plant on the mother plant runner. Statistical analysis showed that type of mother plants had a significant effect on number of leaves in daughter plants. Daughter plants obtained from mother plants established from fresh-dug plants had the highest number of leaves. The initial size of mother plants significantly influenced the fresh and dry weight of daughter plants. Smaller mother plants ("A-size") produced daughter plants with higher fresh and dry weight. The results obtained in the second year of the study were affected by high incidence of powdery mildew.

“…In previous studies, 'Carmine' and 'Chandler' plants initiated flower buds under conditions not favorable for flower bud initiation (Takeda and Newell, 2006b). July-plugged transplants, grown in a greenhouse at high plant density, under long days, and at temperatures greater than 21°C during day and night until late August flowered in the fall.…”

July-plugged transplants of short-day cv. Strawberry Festival (Fragaria ×ananassa) flowered in October and November although they were grown under long photoperiods and warm temperatures (greater than 21 °C) in July and August. These unexpected results were attributed to a high plant density (320 transplants/m2) that provided continuous and heavy leaf cover, which eliminated red light (less than 700 nm) from reaching the crowns. This hypothesis was tested by illuminating crowns of transplants growing in 50-cell packs for 16 h·d−1 with red light-emitting diode lamps (maximum wavelength at 639 nm and 80% of output between 617 and 655 nm). Red light treatment caused a significant reduction in fall flowering. It is proposed that a high ratio of far-red light to visible light reaching the crown will play a role in floral bud induction, possibly as early as mid-August. Transplants of some short-day cultivars started as plug plants in early July have the capacity to flower and fruit in the fall and the next spring, enabling growers in the mid-Atlantic coast region to obtain two harvests within 1 year from a single planting.
