Abstract
'Florida Elyana' is the first Florida-bred strawberry cultivar designed for tunnel and greenhouse production. It is a short-day plant and produces flavorful fruit. 'Florida Elyana' produces larger fruit than 'Strawberry Festival', which is the predominant cultivar in Florida and it holds a large market share in Spain, Morocco and Egypt. 'Florida Elyana' originated from a 2000 cross between FL 96-114 and FL 95-200. 'Florida Elyana' is moderately resistant to the two most serious disease problems on strawberry in Florida: Botrytris fruit rot (caused by Botrytis cinerea) and anthracnose fruit rot (caused by Colletotrichum acutatum). 'Florida Elyana' also appears to have resistance to wilts, which are most likely caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides [Glomerella cingulata] and Phytophthora spp.
