Abstract

In order to investigate the performance and use of frigo plants and fresh runners rooted in pots of 10 strawberry cultivars (Aliso, Chandler, Dana, Dorit, Elsanta, Lester, Redchief, Tufts, Vista, Brio) under a walk-in plastic tunnel, a field trial was carried out during the 1993 and 1994 growing season. In this study, growth performance, first flowering and harvest dates, soluble solid content and monthly and total berry yield per plant were determined. Frigo plants and fresh runners rooted in pots (FRRP) were provided from the nursery of the Department of Horticulture.
