Abstract
In 2007 and 2008 strawberry plantations in different regions of Latvia were inspected looking for fruit rots. Causal agents of fruit rot were detected at the laboratory of Latvian Plant Protection Research Center. 28 strawberry plantations were inspected in 2007. In this year weather conditions during strawberry flowering and harvest time were not favorable for the development of the diseases. On the damaged fruits and flowers mostly fungus Botrytis cinerea was detected at laboratory. On some fruits rots caused by Hainesia lynthri, Muccor spp. and Penicillium spp. were found. Next year 26 strawberry plantations were inspected. Botrytis cinerea was detected on samples with damages like pale brown fruit rot, dead flowers and ovaries and dark brown spots on pedicles. Causal agents Hainesia lynthri, Phomopsis obscurans, Coniella castaneicola, Fusarium spp., Muccor spp., Rhizopus spp., Penicillium spp. on rotted fruits also were found at laboratory. Susceptibility to Botrytis rot of 16 strawberry cultivars was evaluated at the Pure HRC in 2006–2008. On the average during three production years, cultivars ‘Honeoye’ and ‘Tenira’ had the lowest Botrytis incidence, but ‘Venta’ and ‘Bounty’ were the most susceptible among the tested cultivars. In 2008, experiments on extending of strawberry production season using different plant covers, plastic soil mulches, cultivars, and “frigo” plants were started at the Pure HRC. The first results showed the significant effect of plastic soil mulches and plant covers on reduction of Botrytis incidence.
