DrisStrawSixtyTwo Strawberry Yield and Fruit Size
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 size, flavor, and shelf-life, as existing varieties often lack these characteristics.
Innovation Solution
The strawberry plant variety 'DrisStrawSixtyTwo' was developed through a cross between proprietary parents '73P176' and '107P249', exhibiting higher yield, partially remontant bearing, stronger plant vigor, and larger fruits with sweet flavor, and has been asexually propagated and tested for stability and true-to-type reproduction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If existing strawberry varieties are used, then cultivation is straightforward, but yield, fruit size, flavor, and shelf-life are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by developing a new strawberry variety with modified genetic parameters that result in improved yield, fruit size, flavor, and shelf-life characteristics. The variety 'DrisStrawSixtyTwo' exhibits specific parameter improvements including higher productivity, larger fruit dimensions, enhanced sugar content for flavor, and extended post-harvest durability compared to existing varieties.
2Productivity
If new varieties are developed to improve yield and fruit quality, then productivity and flavor are enhanced, but variety stability and true-to-type reproduction may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the copying principle through asexual propagation via stolons, which creates genetically identical copies of the selected plant. This ensures true-to-type reproduction and maintains variety stability across multiple generations, as the new variety 'DrisStrawSixtyTwo' has been propagated and tested for stability through successive asexual propagations.
3Volume of moving object
If fruit size is increased, then marketability improves, but yield per plant may be reduced due to fewer fruits
Solution Approach 1:
The patent resolves this contradiction through parameter changes in the variety's growth and fruiting characteristics. 'DrisStrawSixtyTwo' produces larger fruits with dimensions of approximately 57.30 mm length and 42.50 mm width, while simultaneously maintaining high productivity through partially remontant bearing that extends the fruiting season and increases the number of harvesting periods, thereby achieving both larger fruit size and high yield potential.
4Productivity
If remontant bearing is introduced to extend season, then productivity increases, but plant vigor may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by developing a variety with partially remontant bearing characteristics that balance season extension with plant vigor maintenance. 'DrisStrawSixtyTwo' exhibits partial remontancy allowing extended fruit production beyond the typical single season, while the plant maintains strong vigor with a spreading growth habit, 23.7 cm height, and 35.9 cm diameter, producing multiple crowns and robust stolons.
