Camino Real strawberry

Last updated

cv. 'Camino Real' is a cultivar of strawberry produced by the Shaw & Larson era of the UC Davis breeding program. [1] [2]

Breeding

'Camino Real' is the result of a cross of Cal 89.230-7 × Cal 90.253-3. [3] It was created in 1994, first fruited in 1995 at the Wolfskill Experimental Orchard near Winters, California, [2] and was renamed from 'C213' to cv. 'Camino Real' and released in 2001. [3]

Specific regions

'Camino Real' produces heavily in the Central Coast of California. [4] 'CR' yields over 4,000 pounds per acre (4.5 t/ha) more than cv. 'Chandler', and berries average 27 grams vs. 21 grams, in Fresno County, California. [5]

'Camino Real' is unusually vulnerable to Botrytis Fruit Rot ( Botrytis cinerea ) in the conditions around the University of Florida's Gulf Coast Research and Education Center in Dover, Florida. [6] Chandler et al., 2006 finds 'CR' is the worst among several common varieties, although 'Sweet Charlie' is also consistently somewhat susceptible. [6] It is possible that the Botrytis problem in 'CR' could be remedied with different fungicide timing. [6]

Louisiana State University recommends 'Camino Real' for commercial production [7] for its large berries, good firmness, and high yield in the state's conditions. [8] In Louisiana this is a mid-season yielding variety. [8]

In South Louisiana specifically, 'Camino Real' is June-bearing, and is recommended for commercial growers in this area. [9]

Canadian inspectors trialed 'Camino Real' in Langley, British Columbia in 2003 and 2004 and found it to be later-maturing than cv. 'Rainier' or cv. 'Ventana'. [2] Oregon Extension does not recommend this for the Pacific North West. [10]

'Camino Real' is recommended for Victoria, Australia, by Victorian Strawberries. [11]

Although isolates of Bc with carbendazim- and procymidone-resistance have appeared in Argentina, isolates from 'Camino Real' specifically are still vulnerable to both. [12]

Cultivation

'Camino Real' is a short-day variety. [3] It is licensed by UCD ITC. [13]

Disease

'Camino Real' is moderately susceptible to Ramularia ( Ramularia tulasnei , Common Leaf Spot), [13] [11] mildly to Powdery Mildew ( Sphaerotheca macularis ), [13] [11] is variously described as moderately resistant [13] [11] or susceptible [14] to Anthracnose Crown Rot ( Colletotrichum acutatum ), is highly resistant to Verticillium Wilt ( Verticillium dahliae ), [13] [11] and highly resistant to Phytophthora Crown Rot ( Phytophthora cactorum ), [13] [11] and very susceptible to Gray Mold ( Botrytis cinerea ). [14] When combined with insecticidal treatment, tolerant to Two-Spotted Spidermite ( Tetranychus urticae ) as much as or better than cv. 'Gaviota'. [13]

Pests

'Camino Real' is repellent and insecticidal to all stages of Western Flower Thrips ( Frankliniella occidentalis ). [15] 'CR' is dramatically more repellent and insecticidal than cv. 'Camarosa' and somewhat more than cv. 'Albion'. [15]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Calcium deficiency (plant disorder)</span>

Calcium (Ca) deficiency is a plant disorder that can be caused by insufficient level of biologically available calcium in the growing medium, but is more frequently a product of low transpiration of the whole plant or more commonly the affected tissue. Plants are susceptible to such localized calcium deficiencies in low or non-transpiring tissues because calcium is not transported in the phloem. This may be due to water shortages, which slow the transportation of calcium to the plant, poor uptake of calcium through the stem, or too much nitrogen in the soil.

<i>Botrytis cinerea</i> Species of fungus

Botrytis cinerea is a necrotrophic fungus that affects many plant species, although its most notable hosts may be wine grapes. In viticulture, it is commonly known as "botrytis bunch rot"; in horticulture, it is usually called "grey mould" or "gray mold".

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Strawberry</span> Edible fruit

The garden strawberry is a widely grown hybrid species of the genus Fragaria, collectively known as the strawberries, which are cultivated worldwide for their fruit. The fruit is widely appreciated for its characteristic aroma, bright red color, juicy texture, and sweetness. It is consumed in large quantities, either fresh or in such prepared foods as jam, juice, pies, ice cream, milkshakes, and chocolates. Artificial strawberry flavorings and aromas are also widely used in products such as candy, soap, lip gloss, perfume, and many others.

<i>Colletotrichum acutatum</i> Species of fungus

Colletotrichum acutatum is a plant pathogen and endophyte. It is the organism that causes the most destructive fungal disease, anthracnose, of lupin species worldwide. It also causes the disease postbloom fruit drop on many varieties of citrus, especially Valencia and navel oranges in Florida.

<i>Sclerotinia sclerotiorum</i> Species of fungus

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a plant pathogenic fungus and can cause a disease called white mold if conditions are conducive. S. sclerotiorum can also be known as cottony rot, watery soft rot, stem rot, drop, crown rot and blossom blight. A key characteristic of this pathogen is its ability to produce black resting structures known as sclerotia and white fuzzy growths of mycelium on the plant it infects. These sclerotia give rise to a fruiting body in the spring that produces spores in a sac which is why fungi in this class are called sac fungi (Ascomycota). This pathogen can occur on many continents and has a wide host range of plants. When S. sclerotiorum is onset in the field by favorable environmental conditions, losses can be great and control measures should be considered.

<i>Glomerella cingulata</i> Species of fungus

Glomerella cingulata is a fungal plant pathogen, being the name of the sexual stage (teleomorph) while the more commonly referred to asexual stage (anamorph) is called Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. For most of this article the pathogen will be referred to as C. gloeosporioides. This pathogen is a significant problem worldwide, causing anthracnose and fruit rotting diseases on hundreds of economically important hosts.

Colletotrichum fragariae is a fungal plant pathogen infecting strawberries. It is not a well known fungus, and there are many similar fungi that are related to it. It is part of the Colletotrichum genus. It is a pathogen that occurs in strawberries. It leads to the disease known as anthracnose. This is typically at the crown of the strawberry, which is why it is often called crown rot. It is also known as the Anthracnose Crown rot. The fungus also infects leaves and is known as leaf spot, which is common among all Colletotrichum. This is not as common in the fragariae, as it is more common in the crown. This fungus is also better at infecting younger strawberries/seedlings. The most common way to control this disease is fungicides that are harmful to the environment. There have been studies done to see if the fungus infects other hosts but other than some weeds, it is very specific to Strawberries.

Florida was ranked in 2019, "first in the value of production for fresh market bell peppers and tomatoes, as well as grapefruit, oranges, sugarcane, and watermelons" in the United States according to Florida Agriculture by the Numbers. In 2002 peppers and tomatoes were #1 and #2 in dollar value for the state and citrus fruit, especially oranges, were also a major part of the economy. By 2019 tomatoes were #1, oranges #2, and peppers were #3. Of exports, meat is Florida's biggest earner. Florida produces the majority of citrus fruit grown in the United States.

<i>Botrytis elliptica</i> Species of fungus

Botrytis elliptica is a necrotrophic fungal pathogen which infects species of plants in the Lilium genus, causing the disease commonly known as Lily Gray Mold. The symptoms of Lily Gray Mold include the appearance of water-soaked spots on leaves which appear white and increase in darkness with age, ranging from gray to brown. These spots may cover the entire leaf, complemented with a gray webbing, containing the fungal spores. The leaves will appear wilted and branches may die back. In addition to leaves, petals, stems, and buds may be infected, and this gray webbing will eventually cover the plant, feigning the appearance of gray flowers. Infected buds often rot. Lily Gray Mold disease, if not properly treated, will appear each year with increasing vigor.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Strawberry cultivation in California</span>

Strawberries in the United States are almost entirely grown in California – 86% of fresh and 98% of frozen in 2017 – with Florida a distant second. Of that 30.0% was from Monterey, 28.6% from Ventura, 20.0% from Santa Barbara, 10.0% from San Luis Obispo, and 9.2% from Santa Cruz. The Watsonville/Salinas strawberry zone in Santa Cruz/Monterey, and the Oxnard zone in Ventura, contribute heavily to those concentrations.
