Abstract:
The southwest coastal region of
British Columbia is an important
strawberry producing area.
In the
past, the main varieties were 'Marshall'
and 'British Sovereign'. In recent years,
'Marshall', in particular, has been replaced
by varieties of more recent
origin such as 'Northwest', 'Siletz', 'Puget
Beauty' and 'Agassiz'. Of these, 'Northwest'
is the most important largely because
it makes an outstanding frozen
product.
The variety has the disadvantages
of susceptibility to root
rots, including red stele, and to winter
injury.
Although 'Siletz' lacks the fine
quality of 'Northwest', it has increased
in popularity in recent years because
it shows considerable resistance to red
stele and other root rots, and is a
high yielder. 'Puget Beauty' and 'Agassiz'
are grown on limited acreages, and each is of interest because of good
quality and winter hardiness. 'Puget
Beauty' has appeared particularly susceptible to virus diseases. 'Agassiz' has
the disadvantage of susceptibility to
root rots and powdery mildew. 'British
Sovereign' has remained the most
popular variety for local fresh market
production.
