The influence of planting distance on fruit properties in six newly introduced strawberry cultivars (Favete, Cortina, Evita, Selena, Eris, and Madeleine) and standard domestic (from Serbia) cultivar Cacanska Rana was investigated. All cultivars were grown in black polyethylene foil covered banks at different planting distances: 40 x 30, 30 x 30, 20 x 30 and 15 x 30 cm. Major parameters of physical, chemical and organoleptic proterties of fruits were studied at different distances. The studies infer that larger planting distances, 30 x 30 cm, and 40 x 30 cm positively influenced fruit weight and organoleptic fruit properties, whereas the influence on chemical composition of the fruits was different with different spacing. In some cultivars (Selene and Cortina) smaller planting distances positively influenced chemical fruit properties. Contrasted with the standard cultivar, evaluated cultivars had higher values in respect of fruit weight and total organoleptic quality, whereas regarding the chemical properties the fruits performed differently.
