مقایسه رشد، عملکرد و کیفیت میوه ارقام تجاری توت‌فرنگی در اقلیم سرد استان چهارمحال و بختیاری

In order to grow strawberry in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, growth, yield and fruit quality was evaluated among eight commercial strawberry cultivars including: Selva, Camarosa, Pajaro, Paros, Queen eliza, Kurdestan and Merak. This experiment was conducted in Agriculture and Natural Resources Research Center of Shahrekord through a RCBD design with three replications for four years (2008-2011). Vegetative and phenologic traits, yield components and fruit quality were recorded. Significant difference was observed among cultivars in all of the measured traits. These differences showed that ecological requirements in strawberry are cultivar-specific. Genotype by year interaction was significant for most of the traits, indicating that genotypes respond differently to climatic conditions of different years. Among cultivars studied, Queen eliza was found superior to other cultivars in terms of fruit yield, size and weight. A greater number of crown and inflorescence per plant and a larger berry contributed to higher yield in Queen eliza. Since cultivar Kurdestan indicated adaptability to climatic conditions of cold regions and it has a unique aroma and flavor, it could be recommended for local markets.
