In raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) breeding programs, seed double dormancy causes delayed and low germination rates. this study, an in vitro protocol was developed to increase rate decrease time. This optimized on the cultivars “Polka” “Tulamagic”, specifically, their open-pollinated seeds, by applying two different cutting types (transverse, or longitudinal), followed treatments (direct culture at 24 °C, 2 weeks 4 °C °C). The best results for both were obtained when seeds cut transversally...
In different countries, mostly in EU, rules for strawberry nursery propagation impose the use of micropropagation only to produce stock virus free plant followed by at least three production cycles field before selling these plants growers. This limit has been imposed problems concerning true-to-type observed micro-propagated some cultivars, with higher genotypic and phenotypic instability, incorrect concentrations cytokinin proliferation phase. system certified high economic environmental...
Thinning and pruning are expensive cultural practices in peach cultivation, but essential to obtain adequate production. This study evaluated the effects of combining two (four six scaffold branches) three thinning (low, medium, high crop load) levels on yield fruit quality four different flat cultivars, trained as Catalonian vase 2017-2018 Italy. Productive (average weight, plant total production, circumference), qualitative (fruit firmness overcolor, Soluble Solids Content, Titratable...
The present study assessed the responses, in terms of vegetative, productive, qualitative, and nutritional features, plants berries three remontant strawberry cultivars cultivated soil irrigated using irrigation regimes: standard regime (W100), 20% (W80) less than irrigation, 40% (W60) irrigation. tested were “Albion”, “San Andreas”, “Monterey”, which east coast area Marche, Italy. Specifically, examined response genotype to deficit, highlighting performance “Monterey” cultivar, showed...
Nitrogen plays a vital role in plants’ biochemical and physiological functions, it contributes significantly to increasing plant yield fruit quality. Plants that efficiently absorb utilize nitrogen enhance the efficiency of fertilizers, reducing their input costs preventing ecosystem damage. Thus, an adequate supply can improve growth, quality, nutritional value. This research focused on evaluating vegetative productive performance quality three short-day strawberry genotypes (“Cristina”,...
Genotype, environment, and cultivation system strongly influence strawberry yield quality. Specifically, the growth of plants is dependent on water supply. Nevertheless, abuse in agriculture necessitating choice lowest water-consumptive plants. The following study showed performance ‘Romina’, ‘Sibilla’, ‘Cristina’ cultivars, grown open-field conditions, treated with three doses (W): 100% local standard regime, 20% (W80) 40% (W60) reductions. average amount administered for W100, W80, W60 was...
ISHS IX International Strawberry Symposium 'Francesca', 'Lauretta', 'Silvia' and 'Dina': four new strawberry cultivars for northern southern European cultivation conditions from the Marche Polytechnic University breeding programme
In strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) breeding programs, seed dormancy adversely affects germination, resulting in delayed seedling emergence and low germination rates. This study investigated the best solution to enhance both terms of efficiency timing by evaluating effect three key factors: genotype, pre-sowing treatment, medium. Chemical scarification treatment with sulfuric acid seeds from different genotypes was optimized; treated were placed germinate on media (Murashige Skoog...
