SOLNECHNAYA POLYANKA

Genetic Potential and Adaptability

The 'Solnechnaya Polyanka' variety, developed with the expertise of FANTZA (originator: Av Du Capitaine N Tchorere 80270 Airaines, France), represents a successful example of adaptive strawberry breeding. This non-remontant, mid-season variety (40-50 days) is optimized for consistent yields in temperate climates.

Fruit Morphology and Productivity

The hybrid's key feature is its distinct conical, elongated berry shape with a vibrant bright-red color. With proper agronomic support, yields reach 1.2-1.5 kg per plant, a significant figure for this class. The berries are versatile, maintaining structural integrity during transport, making them suitable for both fresh markets and processing.

Biological Defense and Resilience

The breeders' focus on phyto-immunity aims to minimize losses from fungal pathogens. The variety demonstrates heightened resistance to Mycosphaerella and brown leaf spot. While overall disease resistance is rated as moderate, its specific resistance to leaf spots significantly simplifies fungicide application protocols.

Agronomic Advantages

• High frost resistance (down to -25°C) allows for cultivation in regions with harsh winters without the risk of root system damage.
• Strong drought tolerance extends the variety's range, allowing it to maintain berry quality even under water stress during the active vegetation phase.
• The plant's growth vigor ensures rapid vegetative mass recovery after harvest, establishing a strong foundation for the next cropping cycle.
