Morpho-horticultural potential of seven strawberry cultivars for two consecutive cycles

Maintaining plants for two consecutive cycles in strawberry cultivation makes it possible to reduce costs with the acquisition of daughter and allows fruit production throughout year. Thus, objective this study was investigate whether cultivars grown a greenhouse change their horticultural potential. The research carried out municipality Passo Fundo, State Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. We tested seven (classified as short days neutral terms flowering) cycles. morphology characterized, quality were evaluated. morphological descriptor that most contributed divergence among corresponded anthocyanin coloration stipules. ‘Aromas’ stood greater amount produced both In first cycle ‘Albion’, ‘Camino Real’, ‘Monterey’ fruits highest average fresh masses. Phenolic compounds superior second relation cycle. total flavonoid content higher ‘Aromas’, ‘Camarosa’, ‘Monterey’. ‘Camarosa’ ‘San Andreas’ had concentration polyphenols. antioxidant capacity ‘Camarosa’. It is concluded conducted show variations Producers who want stagger crops should choose obtain productive potential (in cycles) meet demanding consumer market quality.
