Morpho-biological and productive features of strawberry varieties (Fragaria x ananassa Duch. ex Weston)

Methods. A scientific study on the cultivation of remontant varieties of garden strawberries and on their basis planting material was carried out at the experimental field of the Tashkent State Agrarian University of the Republic of Uzbekistan in 2018–2019. The experiment involved such varieties of garden strawberries as Bountiful, Redgauntlet, Cobra, Tarpan, Avis Delight, Evie 2, which were grown both in open and protected soils. Studies have revealed that most varieties of garden remontant strawberries have the weak whiskers formation ability.

Results. However, when growing a mother plantation in a condition of greenhouse, the ability of intensive formation of whiskers, their growth and rooting of rosettes, in comparison with the open ground increases two to three times and can reach 25–28 pieces per individual plant. The average yield of berries in the mother bush plantation depending on the variety used when growing plants in the greenhouse can reach 3.2–3.4 kg/m2.
