EFFECTS OF PLANT TYPE ON TWO STRAWBERRY CULTIVARS IN SICILY

F. D'Anna, G. Caracciolo, R. Alessandro, W. Faedi
In Sicily fresh plants have for years been replacing the once popular cold-stored ones. Good early cropping is the aim of all strawberry growers in the island’s Marsala district. The present trial tested the response of the new strawberry cultivars ‘Sabrosa’ and ‘Florida Fortuna’ using fresh plug and bare-root plants. ‘Florida Fortuna’ plug-plants turned out to be the most promising type as a cash crop in delivering extra early ripening.
