Strawberry is an important horticultural crop with an annual production of 566 MSEK. A higher competitiveness of the Swedish strawberry industry is paramount in order to sustain and develop it for the future. To secure high yields of good quality, superior cultivars and optimal management are crucial. In this project, we focus on Everbearing (EB) strawberry cultivars used in tunnel production in Sweden. EB cultivars facing challenges due to their strong reproductive tendency that represses leaf initiation and growth, limiting leaf canopy for support of fruit growth and thereby leading to unstable yield potential. The project addresses, flower mapping, nectar content and pollination as tools to indicate stable yield of EB cultivars. Interactions of these tools with environmental signals controlling plant growth and flower formation are evaluated. The project provides solutions directly related to the cultivation process that can lead to sustainable production of EB cultivars in tunnels
Jordgubbar är en viktig trädgårdskultur med en årlig produktion på 566 MSEK. Den svenska jordgubbsindustrins högre konkurrenskraft är avgörande för att kunna upprätthålla och utveckla den för framtiden. För att säkerställa höga avkastningar med god kvalitet är överlägsna sorter och dess optimala hantering avgörande. Projektets focus är på remonterande (RM) sorter, används i tunnelproduktion i Sverige. Dessa sorter står inför utmaningar på grund av deras starka reproduktiva förmåga som undertrycker bladinitiering, vilket begränsar stödet till frukttillväxt och därmed leda till instabil avkastningspotential. Projektet adresserar, blomkartläggning, nektarinnehåll och pollinering som verktyg för att indikera stabil avkastningspotential hos RM sorter. Interaktioner mellan dessa verktyg och odlingsfaktorer som kontrollerar tillväxt och blombildning utvärderas. Projektet ger lösningar direkt relaterade till odlingsprocessen och därmed till en hållbar produktion av RM sorter i tunnlar
