DrisStrawNinetyNine Strawberry Plant Open Canopy Harvest
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for new strawberry plant varieties that are stable, high-yielding, and agronomically sound, with improved fruit quality, flavor, and ease of harvest, as existing varieties may vary in performance and susceptibility to disease.
Innovation Solution
The strawberry plant variety 'DrisStrawNinetyNine' is developed through a controlled cross between '48AC198' and 'DrisStrawSeventySeven', exhibiting stable reproduction, good fruit quality, large berry size, early production, and an open canopy for ease of harvest, with specific characteristics such as sparse foliage density and medium stolon anthocyanin coloration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If strawberry varieties are bred for high yield and fruit quality, then productivity and fruit quality improve, but susceptibility to disease and environmental stress may increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by creating a new strawberry variety with modified genetic parameters through controlled crossing. The variety 'DrisStrawNinetyNine' exhibits altered disease resistance parameters and productivity parameters compared to parent varieties, achieving a balance between high yield and moderate disease resistance through genetic recombination.
2Volume of moving object
If strawberry plants are bred for large berry size, then fruit size increases, but may affect plant vigor and susceptibility to stress
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes parameter changes by breeding a variety with optimized fruit size parameters. The average fruit weight of 29.6g represents a specific parameter change from parent varieties, achieving large berry size while maintaining plant stability through controlled genetic inheritance and selection.
3Loss of time
If strawberry varieties are selected for early production, then time to first harvest is reduced, but may compromise overall season productivity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by selecting and propagating plants that have been pre-conditioned for early production. The variety demonstrates early flowering and fruit set characteristics that were established through selective breeding, allowing early harvest while maintaining sustained productivity throughout the season.
4Power
If strawberry plants have dense foliage, then plant vigor and photosynthesis may improve, but harvest difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by creating a variety with differentiated foliage characteristics. The plant exhibits moderate foliage density that provides sufficient photosynthetic capacity in the canopy while maintaining an open structure in the lower regions, facilitating easy access for harvest operations without significantly compromising overall plant vigor.
