The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of container position with strawberry mother plants on daughter plants productivity and quality of produced tray plants. Study was conducted in the mother planting established in a high tunnel in Gu~a, during the period of 2018‡2019. Certified frigo plants of the cultivar ‘Senga Sengana’ were planted in 3 l pots in May, 2018. In the first treatment, the pots were placed in gutters installed on tables, whereas in the second treatment, pots with mother plants were placed on the floor of the high tunnel. The applied density was 10 plants per square meter. Another part of the investigation was performed on daughter plants that were separated from runners of mother plants in the autumn of 2018 and stored in a chamber at -2°C during the winter, and then as frigo plants were planted in containers during the spring of 2019. Leaf rosette height and number of leaves per rosette were significantly higher in mother plants placed on the tables, while runner length and total number of daughter plants per mother plant were higher in plants placed on the floor. Effect of container position with mother plants on the quality of tray plants was not statistically significant in 2018. From the total number of frigo plants stored in a chamber at -2°C during the winter and planted in containers during the spring of 2019, 70% was rooted after planting. In the rest tray plants, an increased in number of leaves per rosette (11.33) and crown diameter (11.05 mm) were registered in this study.
