Title: īKent` Strawberry
Author: A.R. Jamieson
Abstract:
The 'Kent' strawberry, since its introduction in 1981, has rapidly risen
to become the most widely planted
strawberry cultiyar in Canada.
It replaced 'Redcoat' as the leading midseason
strawberry of Eastern Canada
and the Prairie provinces.
Compared
to 'Redcoat,' 'Kent' was originally described as a more productive and
larger fruited strawberry (4). Strawberry growers quickly confirmed these
claims and by 1985 'Kent' was the
leading cultivar planted in Nova Scotia
and soon thereafter became important
for growers in Quebec, Ontario, and
Manitoba (5). 'Kent' did not stand up
to the prevailing complex of viruses
in British Columbia, where 'Totem'
predominates (4).
