The effect of delayed planting date on growth and cropping of strawberry plants
2013
Ewa Żmuda-Dawtian
To induce the late summer cropping (July - August ) of Elsanta strawberries. grown in one-year=production cycle. two experim~s. based on a delayed planting term of "frigo" plants were carried out. The plantings were started (established) in 1994 (site I, in Gorzyce) on May 14 (a), May 27 (b) and June 10 (c). and in 1996 (site II, Lublin) on June 5 (d), and June 18 (e). Site II was irrigated by dripping, while site I was not. In both sites, the early planting terms (a and d) have contributed to a better plant growth and cropping in comparison to the other treatment. Fruit yields amounted to 99, 75, 21, 452 and 290 g/plant for a, b, c, d and e, respectively. Two weeks' delay in planting term resulted in a deterioration of the fruit size, fruit mass and its chemical composition.
