FIELD PERFORMANCE OF SELECTED DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN STRAWBERRY CULTIVARS GROWN AT TWO SITES OF POLAND

Cultivar trials were conducted in the frame of the European Network for Strawberry Cultivar Evaluation (COST 836, WG 2) in two field experiments carried out at two sites: the Research Institute of Pomology and Floriculture in Skierniewice (Central Poland) and the Fruit Research Station in Brzezna (Southern Poland). In the years 2001-2002 15 cultivars were tested in both sites, while in the years 2002-2003 31 cultivars were under investigation in Skierniewice and 26 cultivars in Brzezna.
The studied cultivars differed in all important traits (productivity, ripening time, fruit size, fruit firmness, fruit susceptibility to grey mould and winterhardiness) with the most promising being ‘Rosie’, ‘Honeoye’, ‘Elkat’, ‘Filon’, ‘Patty’, ‘Maya’, ‘Onda’, ‘Nadina’, ‘Alice’, ‘Kimberly’, ‘Florence’, ‘Tarda’, ‘Sophie’ and ‘Vikat’.
