Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for new strawberry plant varieties that are stable, high-yielding, and agronomically sound to meet the demands of commercial production, with existing varieties often varying in characteristics such as growth habit, fruit size, and disease susceptibility.

Innovation Solution

The strawberry plant variety 'DrisStrawSixtyNine' is introduced, which was developed through a cross between proprietary parents '783S 79' and '566S 60', exhibiting a semi-upright growth habit, inflorescence at the same level as foliage, achenes level with the fruit surface, and partially remontant bearing, characterized by large conical fruit and open canopy, and has been found to be stable and reproduce true to type through asexual propagation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If existing strawberry varieties are used for commercial production, then production can continue with current methods, but the varieties lack stability and consistent high-yielding performance

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveyieldVSAvoidvariety stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by developing a new strawberry variety with specific genetic parameters that ensure both high productivity and stability. The variety 'DrisStrawSixtyNine' was created through controlled breeding to optimize parameters such as fruit size, plant growth habit, and bearing characteristics, resulting in a cultivar that consistently produces large conical fruits with semi-upright growth and partial remontancy, thereby resolving the contradiction between yield and stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Shape

If strawberry varieties are bred for large fruit size, then fruit quality improves, but other agronomic characteristics may vary or deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefruit sizeVSAvoidagronomic performance
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by creating a strawberry variety that simultaneously excels in multiple functions: large conical fruit production, semi-upright growth habit for ease of management, partial remontant bearing for extended productivity, and open canopy for good air circulation. The variety 'DrisStrawSixtyNine' integrates these diverse agronomic traits into a single cultivar, making it universally adaptable to commercial production systems while maintaining superior fruit quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
