This study was conducted to test the effects of three different
propagation methods on the yield and fruit quality performance of strawberry
cv. ‘Florida Fortuna’. Experimental studies were conducted during the 2018-2019
growing period in Yedidalga village, located in Lefke region in Northern
Cyprus. Tested methods of present study are: 1) bare root cold stored (frigo),
2) fresh/green bare root, and 3) strawberry plug propagation methods. Studies
were conducted in a low-tunnel (4 m wide and 2 m height) with three
replications according to the completely randomized block design. Each
replication consisted of 20 plants. Regular measurements were carried to
measure yield (g plant^-1), number of fruits (# plant^-1),
total soluble solids (TSS) concentration, fruit firmness (kg cm^-2)
and titratable acidity (g/100 g citric acid). Results showed that the
propagation methods have high influence on the weekly and total yield of the
strawberry plants. According to the obtained data, plug propagation method was
found to provide earliness on fruit yielding and continuous yielding (except
winter period). Moreover, frigo propagation method was found to be the latest
for fruit bearing, but to have highest yield in the end of the growing period.
