Introduction of new varieties of strawberries what are the characteristics of the latest fine varieties of strawberries

In recent years, the abnormal climate has made it difficult to raise strawberry seedlings in Taiwan, and even lacked 4 million seedlings in 105 years, affecting the output value of 250 million yuan that year. Therefore, Miaoli No. 1-Lianxiang, which has been developed by Miaoli Agricultural improvement Farm since 103, was officially released on the 9th, with strong climate adaptability, high yield per plant, and sugar content reaching 16.5 degrees. It is expected that it will be available on the market as soon as the end of this year.

Strawberries are rich in vitamin C and are known as the "fruit queen". Taiwan's annual output value is more than 1.8 billion yuan, with a planting area of 500ha and a total production capacity of about 9,000 metric tons, 90% of which is located in Miaoli County. Miaoli alone has an annual demand for 25 million seedlings, but due to high temperatures and showers in summer in recent years, it is not easy to raise seedlings with serious diseases such as Fengxiang. Therefore, in recent years, more and more farmers have turned to planting more adaptable "perfumes".

However, the flavor of the perfume fruit is relatively insipid and the market acceptance is relatively low, so Miaoli Farm began research and development for 103 years and finally bred Lianxiang in December 107. in March this year, Miaoli Farm Director Lu Xiuying said that as long as it passed the Agricultural intellectual property Rights Review Committee of the Council of Agriculture, it could be formally transferred to nursery farms or farmers, and "Lianxiang" strawberries could be seen on the market as soon as the end of this year.

The yield of love incense is high and its sugar content is close to that of Japanese varieties. LV Xiuying said that the average yield per plant is 346.8 grams, the average fruit size is 20.5g, the fruit is oval, the highest sugar content is 16.5and the ratio of sugar to acid is 18.3.Compared to Fengxiang, the propagation rate of vine seedlings is 1.4times, and the climate adaptability is also stronger. it is also better to harvest a single fruit stem, the plant is semi-erect, well ventilated, and there are relatively few diseases and insect pests.

Wu Dairong, an assistant researcher at Miaoli Farm, who bred "Love incense," said that the female parent of Love incense is "Fengxiang" with sufficient aroma, while the male parent chooses a highly adaptable seed source to breed more than 800 plants, and finally chooses love incense. However, because strawberries can only be raised once a year and harvest once a year, fortunately, the process is very smooth, and it took six years to develop love incense.

Wu Dairong also said that compared with Japanese strawberry varieties "Satsuma Yinu" and "Super Jumbo", the sugar content of "Fengxiang" is 10 to 12 degrees, and that of "perfume" is 8 to 10 degrees. The sugar content of Aixiang can reach as high as 16 degrees, which is close to the Japanese varieties.
