| Abstract:
This study was conducted during 1995-1996 at the Alata Horticultural Research Institute. The main purpose of this experiment was to compare the effects of different rooting dates of fresh runners rooted in pots (FRRP) on yield, earliness, and quality of 3 strawberry varieties (Dorit, Douglas, Cruz). Seven rooting dates (15 June, 30 June, 15 July, 30 July, 15 August, 31 August, 15 September) were examined. On each rooting date, runner tips obtained from the nursery were rooted in pots under an intermittent mist system for one month and transplanted. With respect to yield the most efficient rooting date was 15 June (529 g/plant). It was followed by plant set 30 June with 442 g/plant. Among the cultivars, Douglas was the highest yielding variety (382 g/ plant). The first fruit was harvested at the end of November from Dorit. The earliest fruits were produced by plant set 15 June and 30 June. | |
