Mini-Tray Plant Technical Specifications

The Mini-Tray strawberry plant is an optimized variant of the classic Tray plant, designed to meet the requirements of professional strawberry growers. Its design aims to better optimize production costs while preserving the advantages inherent to a programmed cultivation. It is mainly distinguished by a smaller root ball volume, equivalent to approximately half that of a standard Tray plant, resulting in a 130 cc pot and a diameter of 6 cm , compared to 300 ml and 9 cm for a classic Tray.

Production protocol and cultivation calendar

Transplanting and nursery breeding

The production of Mini-Tray plants is a precise and rigorous process. The runners are transplanted between early and mid-July into specific growing trays, equipped with 6 cm diameter pots. This is followed by a growing period of approximately four months under air-conditioned shelters. During this phase, the plants generally flower in September-October, a phenomenon comparable to the "Waiting-Bed" method. Once the winter dormancy period has begun, the plants are stored in a cold room at a temperature of approximately -2°C , thus ensuring their dormancy and their future harvest potential. The nursery stocking density is approximately 64 plants per square meter .

Economic and technical advantages

Optimization of production costs

Adopting Mini-Tray plants offers multiple advantages to professional strawberry growers. Economically, their cost is significantly lower than that of conventional Tray plants , justified by the more modest root volume, which translates into increased profitability for strawberry growers seeking an optimal compromise between performance and investment.

Ease of handling and transplantation

From a technical point of view, the ease and speed of planting are notable, thanks to their mini-ball format, which greatly facilitates handling and serial work operations. The rooted ball minimizes stress during transplantation , a major advantage for the recovery of the plants.

Flexibility of cultural programming

Planting flexibility is also a major advantage. Mini-Trays can be planted from December to July , offering an extended period compared to classic Trays (December to June), thus allowing better crop planning and precise adaptation to market needs.

Specialized cultural applications

Adapted cultivation systems

These plants are particularly suitable for 60-day cultivation in a heated greenhouse , soilless cultivation on substrate, and raised table systems ("Table Top systems"). Indeed, growing on substrate, particularly with a gutter system, has become increasingly common in recent years, allowing greater control of growing conditions. The raised table system, although more elaborate, allows for very high picking performance, a major advantage in the face of increasing labor costs.

Yields and agronomic performance

In terms of agronomic performance, Mini-Tray plants maintain a yield potential equivalent to that of conventional Tray plants . Although the recovery speed may be slightly slower due to their smaller root system, the expected yield can reach 4 to 5 kg per square meter per growing cycle with good management. This ability to offer high yields from the first year, similar to Waiting-Bed plants, makes them a very attractive solution.

Regulatory constraints in organic farming

It is essential to highlight a significant regulatory change since 2022: the production of certified organic Tray Plants is no longer authorized . This ban results from cultivation techniques deemed non-compliant with current organic standards, particularly with regard to the fertilizers used and the duration of stolons' cultivation.

For strawberry producers wishing to operate organically, alternative solutions exist. They can use Tray Plants "Usable in Organic Agriculture" (UAB) , which mostly comply with organic standards, or conventional Tray Plants, subject to an exemption granted by a certifying body. It is imperative to make a prior request to this body and justify the absence of organic alternatives available on the market. This validation is crucial before any order to ensure production compliance.

Variety offer and pricing policy

Mini-Tray plants are available for several popular varieties, including Ciflorette, Charlotte, Favori, Florentina and Hademar . Indicative prices, which vary depending on the variety, are generally around €0.52 excluding VAT for Ciflorette and Charlotte, and €0.63 excluding VAT for Favori, Florentina and Hademar . It is important to note that these prices are higher than those of Frigo plants or Clod plants, but they are offset by the earliness and reliability of production.

Technical recommendations for crop optimization

Growing strawberries in a mini-tray requires proven technical expertise and suitable equipment to ensure profitability. For optimal production, it is recommended to maintain constant, but not excessive, moisture in the substrate and to provide balanced fertilization adapted to the needs of the plant at each stage of its development. Under cover, good ventilation and shade, if necessary, are crucial, with an optimal temperature maintained between 18 and 25°C to promote growth and fruiting. Pollination is also essential for fruit quality and size, and may require the introduction of bumblebee hives in the greenhouse. Careful monitoring of diseases such as powdery mildew and botrytis, as well as pests such as mites and aphids, is essential.
