Effects of Planting Date on Strawberry Yield in the Planting Year, Days to Fruit Maturity, Plant Stand, and Second-year Yields
Year: 1973
Type: article
Abstract: The planting year yields of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) cultivars were not large enough to be of commercial value. Days to fruit maturity in the planting year decreased with each delay in planting date. Second-year yields were affected by planting date. Maximum yields were obtained by planting between mid-May and mid-June. Runner number and total yield were correlated in 1970 and in 1971; fruit size and yield in 1971.
