Title: Evaluation of Strawberry Cultivars with Different Degrees of Resistance to Red Stele
Authors: S. Khanizadeh, D. Buszard, M.J. Lareau and R. Pelletier
Abstract:
Sixteen commercially grown strawberry cultivars
with different degrees of resistance to red
stele were evaluated for yield, i;Jlant characteristics
and fruit quality. 'Bounty, 'Midway; and
'Sparkle' had sufficient interior and exterior
fruit color, good to satisfactory flavor and are
suitable for freezing.
However, these cultivars
as well as 'Redcoat' lacked sufficient fruit firmness.
'Bounty; 'Redcoat; 'Redchief' and 'Sparkle'
had the highest yield in the three-year test.
'Annapolis; 'Earliglow' and 'Scott' had reflexed
calyx whereas' Allstar; 'Annapolis; 'Cornwallis;
'Earliglow; 'Cuardian' and 'Sunrise' were characterized
by a raised neck suitable for mechanical
dehulling. 'Sunrise' appeared to be the Qnly
ooltivar free of leaf scorch and leaf spot. 'Tristar;
'Red chief; 'Lester; 'Darrow' and 'Arking' roots
had the lowest incidence of red stele when
planted in a naturally-infested field.
No relationship
between fruit characteristics was obseNed
(except for calyx and neck) which suggests the
necessity to examine each individual trait.
