A deadly fungal disease impacting strawberries has led to the development of new strawberries to help preserve crops.
Strawberry Breeding Program are creating five new strawberry varieties resistant tothese new strawberries are Eclipse, UC Golden Gate, UC Keystone, UC Monarch, and UC Surfline. Eclipse is a "summer plant" grown during the fall and winter. UC Golden Gate and UC Keystore are "day neutral" and grow during the summer on roughly 60% of strawberry farms in California, UC Davis notes. UC Surfline and UC Monarch are resistant to organisms that cause disease.
The new strawberry types each have improved flavor and characteristics for year-round growth in California, where roughly 1.8 billion pounds of the fruit are harvested annually,A harvested UC Keystone strawberry grown in Santa Maria, California, is shown sliced in half. It’s resistant to Fusarium wilt, and produces high yields late in the season.
