Benefits of technology

The varieties which we believe to be similar to `Ventura` from those known to us are `E26` (unpatented Driscoll variety), `Montalvo` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,522) and `Baeza` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,548). There are several characteristics of the new variety that are different from, or not possessed by `E26`, `Montalvo`, and `Baeza`. The new variety has a globose to flat globose habit, medium density, weak to

Problems solved by technology

P` had poorer shelf-life than those of `Ventura` by being more orange in color and possessing raised achenes.

Abstract

This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of strawberry named `Ventura`. The variety is similar to the varieties `E26`, `Montalvo`, and `Baeza`. The variety is distinguished from `E26`, `Montalvo`, and `Baeza`, in particular, by its globose to flat globose habit, medium density, weak to medium vigor, medium leaf glossiness, calyx diameter that is smaller relative to the corolla, semi-erect attitude at first picking, conical to cordate fruit shape, slight differences in shape between the primary and secondary fruit, narrow band without achenes, insertion of the calyx that is in a basin to level, weak to medium adherence of the calyx, and fruit with firm flesh and a small hollow center.

Description

1. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThe new variety originated as a result of a controlled cross between the strawberry plants `Mr. P` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,840) and `R1` (unpatented Driscoll variety) in an ongoing breeding program, and was discovered as a seedling in a controlled breeding plot at the Driscoll Research Ranch, Ventura County, Calif. in October 1992. The original seedling of the new cultivar was asexually propagated by stolons at the Driscoll Nursery, McArthur, Shasta County, Calif. Propagules were transplanted to a controlled breeding plot in Monterey County, Calif., where it was identified and selected for further evaluation. `Ventura` was subsequently asexually propagated and underwent further testing at various locations in Ventura County, Calif. for seven years. This propagation and testing has demonstrated that the combination of traits disclosed herein which characterize the new variety are fixed and retained true to type through successive generations of asexual re...
