| Abstract:
One main reason for understanding flowering in strawberry is that flowering time and pattern determine the time, duration and intensity of fruiting. Current fruit production methods, particularly for out-of-season crops, therefore revolve around control of the flowering process. The purpose of this paper is to give examples of applied research done on the effects of digging date and cold storage after digging on the timing and development of flowering in ‘Chandler’, and how artificial short-day treatment of ‘Korona’ strawberry plants gives a high cropping potential in out-of-season production of strawberries. | |
