Work summary : Study of deficiencies in various strawberry cultivars The goal of this
study was to establish a mineral deficiencies
identification key that is suited to
Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu cultivars, with supporting
photographs. To conduct the study, runners of each
strawberry cultivar were planted in nutrient solutions
that were deficient in one element, and the appearance of
symptoms was observed. Deficiencies in nitrogen, calcium,
sulphur, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and other
trace elements were studied among the following cultivars:
‘Annapolis,’ ‘Chambly,’ ‘Clé des champs,’ ‘Glooscap,’
‘Honeoye,’ ‘Jewel,’ ‘Kent,’ ‘L’Acadie,’ Assessment of raspberry selections The purpose of this study is to compare relatively unknown raspberry selections to known varieties in order to evaluate their performance with a view to registering them for plant breeders rights. Four selections were used: 88–18, 88–117, and 88–134, as well as SJR942-7, which is an advanced selection. They were compared to the ‘Boyne,’ ‘Festival,’ Killarney’ and ‘Nova’ cultivars for various criteria:
