Abstract
Abstract Seven field-grown strawberry genotypes (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) were grown in matted rows and harvested weekly from early spring until the end of harvest. An increase in plant dry weight through the season was due mainly to inflorescence and leaf development. Genotypes differed in the progression of the natural log of plant dry weight and leaf area over time, relative growth rate, absolute growth rate, leaf area ratio, and unit leaf rate. Genotypes differed in growth variables through the season, but only crown dry weight during the fruiting period was correlated with yield among genotypes. Total plant dry weight was not correlated with yield, indicating the importance of the percent dry matter partitioned to the inflorescence.
