Adaptability of Strawberry (FragariaananassaDuch) in Lanao Del Sur, Philippines

Roland C. Almorado

Abstract


The study was conducted at the College of Agriculture, Mindanao State University, Marawi City, Lanao del Sur, Philippines with the following objectives: 1) to  test the adaptability of three varieties of strawberry (Florida, Haranoka and BSU-Pierre); 2) to determine which variety adapts the best; and 3) to identify insect pests and diseases affecting its production in the province. Results showed that the three varieties did not differ significantly in terms of mean number of days from transplanting to flowering, flowering to fruit maturity, number of flowers, runners, developed fruits and fruit weight. All varieties adapted well to Lanaodel Sur conditions. Insect pests of strawberries identified were aphids, cutworm, and tussock moth, leaf feeding beetles, and ants while Angular Leaf Spot was the major disease affecting strawberry production.
