The most complete introduction to strawberry varieties, take a look if you want to grow strawberries!
Strawberry is a perennial herbaceous plant. Its fruit has very high nutritional value, containing rich vitamin, carotene, strawberry amine, anthocyanin and other nutrients. Regular consumption can protect eyesight, promote growth and development, and help food digestion. Because strawberry market sales have been quite good in recent years, farmer friends want to seize the opportunity to make money. But there are so many strawberry varieties, which strawberry variety is better to choose? Let's take a look together!
1. Xingxiang
A Japanese mid-early maturing variety, bred by crossing Toyonoka and Aimei. Its main characteristics are that the fruit still colors well during low-temperature and low-sunlight periods, the fruit shape is relatively uniform, the sugar content is stable, it is resistant to storage and transportation, and it is easy to cultivate. It is currently a variety with relatively large development potential. The fruit is long conical, with a uniform fruit shape, generally above 10°C, 12% higher than "Toyonoka", VC content 15%-30% higher than "Toyonoka", and flesh firmness 30% greater than "Toyonoka". The average weight of the first-order fruit is about 35 grams, and the yield per mu is about 2 tons.
Suitable for greenhouse planting, it requires prevention and control of powdery mildew. In production, the use of nitrogen fertilizer must be controlled. It should be noted that the use of nitrogen fertilizer must be controlled during the flower bud differentiation period, otherwise it is very easy to delay fruit ripening. This variety overcomes the shortcomings of the "Toyonoka" variety, such as susceptibility to powdery mildew, poor pollination ability, many deformed fruits, poor coloring, weak growth, and low propagation coefficient.
2. Benihoppe
A new Japanese variety. The plant grows vigorously, stands upright, and is easy to cultivate and manage. The leaves are large, and the new stems have many branches. It has strong continuous fruiting ability, high yield of more than 3000 kg per mu), quality (the flavor is better than Toyonoka and has a typical strawberry aroma), large fruit, with the largest fruit reaching 120 grams. Its high-quality characteristics are large size, red color, and sweet taste. The flavor is rich, and the sweetness can reach 14%-16%, while ordinary strawberries usually have a sweetness of only about 10%. The fruit shape and fruit color are obviously superior to Toyonoka.
3. Sweet Charlie
The fruit is conical. After ripening, the color is bright red, with good luster, beautiful and vivid. The fruit surface is flat, and the seeds (achenes) are slightly sunken into the fruit surface. The flesh color is orange-red, the core is relatively small and slightly hollow, the hardness is high, and it is sweet, crisp, and refreshing, with a rich aroma and excellent palatability. The berries have relatively strong pressure resistance and will not break when dropped onto a hard ground, so they have good storage and transportation resistance. The berries are relatively large. The average weight of the first-order fruit is 50 grams, and the largest fruit weighs more than 83 grams. "Sweet Charlie" strawberries have extremely shallow dormancy, similar to "Toyonoka", at about 20 hours, and are extremely suitable for facility (greenhouse) forcing cultivation. They are resistant to powdery mildew and yellows commonly seen in greenhouses, have strong resistance to high and low temperatures, and the fruiting period is also early. They are suitable for open fields and even more suitable for facility forcing cultivation.
4. Toyonoka
A Japanese variety, early maturing, with large fruit and very shallow dormancy. The fruit is conical and bright red; the fruit surface is flat, glossy, and brightly colored; the flesh is light red, medium in hardness, and not suitable for long-distance transportation; the fruit flavor is excellent, sweet, and palatable; the fruit sugar content is high and stable, with soluble solids at 11.25%. The plant flowers early and belongs to the early maturing varieties; this variety has strong adaptability and can be planted in both northern and southern China. It is cold-resistant and drought-resistant, relatively resistant to late frost damage during the flowering period, and has extremely strong disease resistance.
In summary, different strawberry varieties have different values and cultivation techniques. Therefore, if farmer friends have chosen the strawberry variety they want to plant, they must master the cultivation techniques and management methods for the corresponding variety. Only in this way can they grow strawberries with high yield and good variety.
