Berry size may vary depending on moisture content. Small, rather than large, watery strawberries are considered the most delicious.

Large-fruited remontant culture appeared on personal plots relatively recently.... Gardeners with experience grow it more often.

A noteworthy conclusion will be the reviews of farmers who have to grow a popular crop for commercial purposes. Do not be afraid of experiments, you can always find alternative varieties for each region. May every season please you with generous crop beds!

It is impossible to choose the best strawberry variety according to the description. It is possible to evaluate and select varieties of any crop only if they are grown independently in the country. The description of the variety only helps to determine those characteristics that are most important for growing.

Clone selection

Strawberries, in comparison with fruit trees and ornamental shrubs, are much cheaper. Therefore, you do not need to buy many mustaches of the same variety, but purchase 3-5 plants of different varieties, the more there are, the better, but not less than 5 varieties. In the first year, you can evaluate the yield and quality of strawberries (of course, with proper agricultural technology), select the best 2-3 varieties and the best bushes within varieties and breed them on plantations. This method is called clone selection and prevents the degeneration of the variety.

Domestic varieties of strawberries are more resistant to diseases and pests precisely because clonal selection prevailed in Soviet agronomic science. In the West, varietal material was purified from viruses and diseases in laboratories; in the USSR, the best plants were selected in natural conditions. Therefore, after 2-3 years, many European varieties significantly lose their varietal qualities, diseases return to them quite easily, they need constant chemical treatments.

Domestic varieties are obtained from strawberry bushes with the highest immunity, which was manifested under normal growing conditions in the field. They retain their best varietal qualities for a long time.

Comparative characteristics of domestic and foreign varieties

To decide which varieties of strawberries to plant on your plot - domestic or European - you need to carefully study their main characteristics.

1. Frost resistance. The best domestic strawberry varieties can withstand frosts down to -10 ° C without a snow cover, and under the snow they endure very harsh winters. European varieties can freeze severely in any winter.
2. Winter hardiness. The ability to withstand not only frosts, but also winter thaws, without freezing, is much higher in domestic varieties.
3. Taste. European varieties are sweeter.

Foreign strawberries yield good harvests in our country, but they are too tender for the Russian climate. Although it does not freeze completely, in the spring there are quite a few attacks on the plantation of the "Europeans".

Adult plants are more susceptible to freezing at unstable winter temperatures than young whiskers. In bushes that have yielded more than 2 harvests, the horns are significantly raised above the ground and for better wintering such plants are spud if there is no other covering material. But here, too, there are advantages: in a sparse planting, the yield is higher.

The best tastes are imported Pandora, Bounty and domestic Kokinskaya Zarya, Tsaritsa.

The best varieties in terms of yield are Kokinskaya Zarya, Mommy, Divnaya. But choosing according to yield is wrong. There are no low-yielding varieties in the modern assortment of strawberries.

Currently, breeders have developed many non-killing varieties that are resistant to a complex of damaging factors.These include: Kokinskaya Zarya, Mommy, Tsarina, Slavutich, Solovushka, Alpha, Izaura, Bereginya.

1. On ordinary beds, in greenhouses, in tunnel shelters, mother bushes of plants are planted. Peduncles on them are regularly removed so that the plant uses the strength to give birth to new rosettes.
2. Young bushes are intensively watered and fertilized.
3. The readiness of seedlings is determined by the type of roots. They should turn brown with light tips. The leaves turn brown, which confirms the state of hibernation of young bushes. Most often this occurs at the end of October, November.
4. The dug out plants are brought into a cool room with a temperature of about 12 °.
5. The roots are shaken off. Washing, cutting them is prohibited. Large dry leaves are removed. The leaves next to the growth point should be preserved. The seedlings are sprayed with a fungicide, loaded into small-volume film bags with a film thickness not exceeding 0.5 mm.
6. Sacks with seedlings are placed in cold places with a humidity of 90% and T from 0 to 2 ° C. These parameters must be strictly observed so that the seedlings do not die. The shelf life of seedlings varies from several weeks to a year.
7. Seedling awakening. Seedlings in the package are kept for 24 hours at room temperature. Then the roots of the seedlings are immersed in water containing a biostimulant solution for three hours. At the same time, lost moisture is restored, vitality is activated. The solution should not come into contact with the seedlings' core.
