Sažetak
Strawberry is one of the fruits getting most attention in relation to yield, fruit quality and their content of bioactive components.Environmental conditions and cultivation practices are major factors influencing strawberry productivity and quality, including antioxidants, vitamins and other substances proven to be of importance to human health. The high level of consumption both as fresh and processed fruits all over Europe places the strawberry in a very important position. In addition, strawberries are produced in diverse conditions from North to South. However, very little information is available on the effects of pre-harvest growing conditions on fruit quality in general, and less on health beneficial components. Genetic differences have a dominant impact on all fruit quality components and are difficult to separate from effects of growing conditions. With the ambition to generate some of this basic information a trans-European experiment has been initiated by a working group within the frame of the EU-COST network Euroberry 863. Strawberries are grown at 7 locations from Trondheim and Copenhagen in the north to Germany and Switzerland in Central Europe to Ancona and Zagreb in the south of Europe. In Switzerland plants are also grown in two altitudes. Cvs. ‘ Elsanta’ is grown in all locations in combination with a cultivar optimal for the region: ‘ Korona’ in the North and ‘ Clery’ in the South, while all cultivars are grown in Germany. A common practise for growing techniques has been described as well as logging procedures for temperatures in soil, canopy and 2 m height and irradiation (PAR). Time of flowering for flowers is registered for detailed calculation of temperature sums from flowering to fruit harvesting. Fruits will be harvested according to a common protocol and sub-samples will be analysed for internal quality traits and bioactive components. First results will be reported on general fruit development and quality, beneficial components and their relationships to cultivars and climatic growing conditions.
