1 Opportunities for strawberry production using new U.C. day-neutral cultivars Kirk Larson Pomologist and CE Specialist Dept. of Plant Sciences, UC Davis
2 Professor Douglas Shaw Quantitative Geneticist UC Davis
3 UC Strawberry Website Industry/grower reports Annual Report - Processing Strawberry Advisory Board of California ppt presentations Scientific reports Annual Pomology Report Calendar of events
4 UC day-neutral strawberry breeding objectives Extended fruiting season with stable production Easy to grow (nursery & fruiting field) High yield & quality across a range of chilling exposures Consistently high fruit quality and flavor Plant architecture that facilitates fruit harvest Disease & environmental tolerances
5 California strawberry production regions Cool winters, mild summers Year-round fruit production High-elevation nurseries Low-elevation nurseries Watsonville-Salinas Santa Maria Ventura County Orange Co. & San Diego
6 Fruit production using the new DN cultivars Monterey, Portola and San Andreas These 3 cultivars represent a significant step in the development of day-neutral cultivars Fruit quality similar to Albion but w/ greater yields Adapted to a wide range of chilling exposures In southern Calif., reduced chilling requirements enable: early digging/planting early production with high yields excellent fruit quality
7 San Andreas High elevation bare-root plants (leaves-off) Dig/plant date: 9/28-10/1 Photo: 12/10/11
8 Monterey Moderate day-neutral cultivar Vigorous plant Large fruit with good color & excellent, v.sweet flavor Use mid-october plantings in So. Calif. In Central Coast, plant from early- to late-nov. Highly productive with a later production pattern than most DN cultivars in So. California Cautions: powdery mildew some irregular fruit shape cold damage in HE nurseries - early spring
9 Monterey Dug 10/15, planted 11/7 Dug 10/15, planted 10/23

11 Production management of Monterey in So. Calif. Preplant soil fumigation - use best fumigants available Drip-applied fumigants are most common, but may not be the most effective Pre-plant (slotted) CR fertilizer # N/acre Pre-plant mulch: clear, panda or black Plant source: HE nurseries near CA/OR border Plant size is important: want >0.8 cm crown diameters Bare-root (no leaves) plants dug Oct. 6-12, plant Oct ,500 plants/acre (64, 4-row beds, w/16 in-row spacing)
12 Production management of Monterey in So. Calif. Use sprinklers to establish plants during first 2-3 weeks Depending on plant development and weather, begin feeding w/soluble fertilizer 4-6 weeks after planting Use drip-applied soluble fertilizer ( or similar) every 2 weeks to encourage side-crown development Once plants are well-established, apply deep irrigations ~2x/week to promote deep rooting With increasing fruit loads in late Jan./early Feb., switch to a soluble fertilizer to maintain fruit quality (flavor, firmness and color)
13 Monterey
14 Monterey plug plants produced with zero chill hours in Southern California
15 San Andreas The most widely-planted cultivar in So. California Moderate day-neutral with early flowering Compact plant that facilitates fruit harvest Fruit sought by high-end retailers Very few or no runners in fruiting fields Highly rain-tolerant Strong disease tolerance profile In So. Calif., plant by Oct. 1 In Central Coast, plant mid-nov. Special needs in So. California: Use clear or panda mulch to promote veg growth Remove panicle(s) to encourage veg growth
16 Black Panda Bed mulch color and plant vigor Clear

21 Production management of S. Andreas in So. Calif. Preplant soil fumigation - use best fumigants available Drip-applied fumigants are most common, but may not be the most effective Pre-plant (slotted) CR fertilizer #/acre Pre-plant mulch: clear or panda (not black) Plant source: HE nurseries near CA/OR border Plant size is important: want >0.8 cm crown diameters Bare-root (no leaves) plants dug Sept. 24 to Oct. 1, planted Sept. 26 to Oct. 4 Use 30,000-32,750 plants/acre (64, 4-row beds, with either 12 or 13 in-row spacing)
22 Production management of S. Andreas in So. Calif. Use sprinklers to establish plants during first 2-3 weeks Remove flowering panicles to encourage veg. growth Depending on plant development and weather, begin feeding w/soluble fertilizer 3-4 weeks after planting Use drip-applied soluble fertilizer ( or similar) to encourage veg. growth and side-crown development Once plants are well-established, apply deep irrigations ~2x/week to promote deep rooting With increasing fruit loads in late Jan - early Feb, switch to a low N analysis fertilizer ( ) to maintain fruit quality (flavor, firmness and color)

24 San Andreas plug plants with zero chill hours in Southern California, late November
25 San Andreas field in Santa Maria - April
26 San Andreas in Oxnard, California High-elevation plants planted October 2 Photo taken January 3
27 Bed mulch color affects growth and fruiting of San Andreas Clear mulch Black mulch
28 Portola Strong day-neutral cultivar Very early fruiting Highly productive High quality fruit In So. Calif., growers use cold-stored plants to obtain off-season fruit from Sept. - Jan. In Central Coast region, use fresh-dug plants established early- to mid-november Note: Less rain-tolerant than Monterey or San Andreas
29 Production management of Portola in So. Calif. Preplant soil fumigation - use best fumigants available Drip-applied fumigants are most common, but may not be the most effective Pre-plant (slotted) CR fertilizer #/acre Pre-plant mulch: white on black (cools soil) Plant source: LE nurseries in CA Central Valley Use bare-root, cold-stored plants dug in Jan. Plant size is important: want >0.8 cm crown diameters Plant from March - July for fruit production June - Jan ~24,500 plants/acre (64, 4-row beds, 16 in-row spacing)
30 Production management of Portola in So. Calif. Use sprinklers to establish plants during first 2-3 weeks Remove 1 st flower panicle to encourage veg. growth Let 2 nd flower panicle set fruit, and only prune it off when the 3 rd panicle is visible Cold-stored plants are highly vigorous, so may not need much fertilizer If needed, use drip-applied fertilizer ( or similar) to encourage veg. growth & crown development Once plants are well-established, apply deep irrigations ~2x/week to promote deep rooting With heavy fruiting, use soluble fertilizer to maintain fruit quality (flavor, firmness and color)
