Influence of different climatic conditions on growth and yield of strawberry plants in Thailand

摘要

Growth and yield of commercial strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) cvs 'Tioga' and Tochiotome' were measured under different elevations: Royal Agricultural Research Center (RARC), Royal Phang-da Agricultural Station (RPAS), and Doi Pui Research Station (DPRS) at elevations of 340,650, and 1300 m, respectively. The results showed that vegetative and reproductive growth were significantly different. At RPAS 'Tioga' had higher fresh and dry weights, and more crowns than the other cultivars, but ithad the longest roots at DPRS. At all three sites 'Tochiotome' flowered for fewer days after transplanting than 'Tioga'. At DPRS 'Tioga' had the highest number of inflorescences, while 'Tochiotome' grown at RPAS had the most runners. In this experiment,'Tioga' at DPRS produced the largest number of fruit and had the highest yield.
