Abstract
Fresh runners rooted in pots are rapidly replacing fresh and frigo plants for strawberry production worldwide. Fresh runners rooted in pots have many advantages over conventional propagation methods. They are grown in controlled environments (greenhouses) with media (peat, perlitte, sand or mixed media) under mist in less time than field produced fresh plant and are not exposed to soilborne pathogens. They enable very early strawberry production, thus they are ideal for greenhouse production. Although fresh runners rooted in pots are more expensive to propagate than conventional methods, this can be mitigated by their earlier and higher productivity.
