Prospects for a modified cultural system for strawberry nurseries in relation to. subsequent fruit production under low plastic tunnels: 1- number and quality of transplants [electronic resource].

Includes reference.

TThis study was carried out at the Strawberry and Non-Traditional Crops Research Station, Nobaria, Behaira Governorate during the two successive seasons 2000 and 2001. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of cultivar, nLJrsery planting system and mother plant spacing on number and quality of transplants. Results indicate that using Sweet Charlie cultivar resulted in significant increases in number of fresh transplants dug in September as well as dormant ones dug in January. The results of the two studied seasons indicated that planting nursery stock plants (Super Elite) on raised beds was responsible for significant increases in number of total and marketable fresh transplants used for fresh plantations, crown diameter of transplant and number of dormant transplants used for frigo plantations.
