Abstract
Strawberry is a high-value crop grown in areas with cooler temperatures. It is rich in phytonutrients and flavonoids. Strawberry is usually planted using runners. A study was conducted to evaluate the potential of three strawberry varieties (San Andreas, Valiant, Jewel) grown inside the greenhouse and open field conditions at the research area of the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines - Claveria. The studies in both growing conditions were arranged in a randomized complete block design replicated three times. Jewel variety produced significantly a greater number of runners than other varieties. However, the San Andreas variety showed a significantly higher value of relative chlorophyll content of the leaves throughout the study. San Andreas also revealed the lowest pest and disease severity rating among varieties. The highest return on expenses based on runners produced was obtained in the Jewel variety and closely followed by the Valiant variety while San Andreas had the lowest. With these, strawberry runners’ production alone can be a good source of income for strawberry production. The maintenance of higher relative chlorophyll content and the lowest pest and disease severity rating in the San Andreas variety could be a potential characteristic in improving the strawberry variety.
