Breeding

California growers have supported breeding efforts at the University of California, Davis for over 50 years. The program has released varieties used by growers throughout California and throughout the world, with a renewed focus on producing disease-resistant varieties.

Soilborne diseases such as Fusarium Wilt, Verticillium Wilt, and Charcoal Rot have no effective postplant control, and thus continued cultivation in fields with these diseases will rely on disease-resistant varieties.

The Yield and Disease Resistance report is generated from data compiled by Glenn Cole and Steve Knapp from the University of California, Davis. In addition, the industry average yields are generated from data compiled by the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service which is available publicly on the USDA Fruit and Vegetable Market News website. The California Strawberry Commission does not validate the accuracy of data obtained from USDA Market News nor from the University of California, Davis and is not responsible for any misuse of the data found therein.
