Effect of Variety and Cultivation System on Yield-Related Traits in Strawberries. 2023/2024 Crop Season

During the 2023/2024 crop year, yield-related traits were analyzed in 16 strawberry varieties from different breeding programs grown in four cultivation systems in the Huelva growing region: conventional cultivation, cultivation without soil disinfection, soilless cultivation, and organic cultivation. The results obtained are presented in this paper.
