| Abstract:
The main goal in strawberry breeding program conducted in RIPF is to develop cultivars well adapted to Polish environment conditions particularly to low winter temperatures and with differentiated ripening season. There are two objectives in the program; one to develop cultivars for processing requirements and the other to develop cultivars for fresh consumption. In both objectives resistance to diseases is the main focus, in particular attention is paid to Mycosphaerella fragariae, Diplocarpon earliana, Sphaerotheca macularis and Verticilium dahliae. In the recent past the following cultivars have been released: ‘Elkat’ (SK 1015), ‘Filon’ (SK 1476), ‘Vikat’ (SK 1483) and ‘Salut’ (SK 1509). All are short day cultivars, highly productive, with large fruit and a high level of resistance to low temperatures as well as foliage and root fungal diseases. | |
