Abstract: This work evaluated the potential production and quality of daughter plants of 20 strawberry genotypes produced in containers in a protected environment.The experimental design used was randomized complete blocks with three repetitions.It was evaluated: number of daughter plants produced per mother plant, number of leaves, leaf area, root length, crown diameter, fresh, and dry mass of the aerial part and the root system.Data were subjected to analysis of variance, and means were compared by Tukey test at a 5% probability.Cultivars responded differently in the production of daughter plants, number of leaves, fresh and dry mass of the aerial part and the root system.The results showed that the Dover x Esplendida genotype presented the largest number of daughter plants, while Sabrina had the highest fresh and dry mass of the aerial part and fresh mass of the root system.Sweet Charlie FP and Sabrina stood out for the high dry matter content of the root system.There were no differences in the variables leaf area, root length, and crown diameter.The daughter plants produced by the evaluated genotypes presented the minimum requirements in terms of the number of leaves and crown diameter.
