The objective of this project was to evaluate 38 accessions of the strawberry supercore collection maintained at the USDA Agricultural Research Service, National Clonal Germplasm Repository (NCGR) in Corvallis, Oregon, for resistance to powdery mildew and two-spotted spider mite in west-central Florida. This project relates to objective 3c of the parent project. Analysis of variance will determine the effect of genotype, environment, and interaction. Ten leaves will be harvested per plot and mites will be counted. Counts will be done by the method of Shanks (1995). For the mite evaluation, ten leaflets will be collected from each plot in December and January. Incidence of PM infection on fruit will also be recorded. Scoring of foliar symptoms will be done on a plot mean basis once in late December, twice in January, and once in early February. Infestation of mildew is adequate due to natural disease pressure. Plant materials will be multiplied from runners under the same greenhouse conditions. Thirty-eight accessions of the strawberry supercore will be evaluated along with the UF cultivars 'Florida Elyana', 'Flordia Radiance', 'Strawberry Festival' and susceptible checks 'Camarosa' and 'Totem'.

Approach (from AD-416): Trial plots will be planted October 2011 for evaluation from December to March. Progress 10/01/11 to 09/30/12 Outputs Progress Report Objectives (from AD-416): The objectives include 1) evaluation of PM resistance of the supercore collection on both leaves and fruit 2) evaluation of TSM resistance of the supercore collection 3) direct comparison of the horticulture performance of the supercore collection and cultivated germplasm in high tunnel production and 4) availability of results uploaded to GRIN.
