Biology and characteristics of the strawberry stolon

The strawberry runner is the vegetative propagation organ par excellence for this species. It takes the form of a creeping aerial stem, developing horizontally from the mother plant. This initially slender extension is devoid of true leaves along its length. Its color generally tends towards a light green, distinct from the strawberry's main foliage.

As the stolon grows, it forms nodes at regular intervals. At each of these nodes, small plantlets, young rosettes, develop, which are clones genetically identical to the mother plant. These plantlets are thus transported a few centimeters from the original, then gradually descend to the ground. When they reach a stage of about four leaves , they are able to develop their own roots at the node, thus anchoring themselves in the substrate.

This mechanism ensures faithful conservation of all the varietal characteristics of the mother plant, whether it is the flavor of the fruit, its size, or its precocity. The natural development of the stolons is generally observed after the fruiting period, typically between June and August .

For professional production, these runners are calibrated according to the diameter of their collar. Their length can vary considerably depending on growing conditions and the variety cultivated.

Types of plants from stolons in professional production

In the field of intensive strawberry cultivation, the stolon is a fundamental propagation organ, offering an economical and efficient method of vegetative reproduction. It is the origin of several types of plants specifically designed to meet the requirements of producers:

Strawberry plant, root ball or pot

This is a stolon that has been rooted directly in a small block of substrate, generally measuring between 60 and 90 cm³ , and housed in a plastic cup 7 to 9 cm in diameter . These plants are produced in 3 to 4 weeks in a greenhouse after taking the stolons from the nursery, often followed by a cold storage period of a few days. It should be noted that, for Organic Agriculture certification, only clods from AB-certified refrigerated plants grown for at least six weeks are eligible.

Strawberry Plant Tray

This advanced technique uses a runner transplanted onto a large root ball. This method is specifically developed for intensive commercial cultivation, allowing for early production and high yields from the first year. An optimized variant, the "Mini-Tray," offers a smaller root ball (about half the volume of a conventional Tray), contributing to better optimization of production costs while retaining the advantages of scheduled cultivation.

Bare Root Strawberry Plant

This presentation consists of a stolon pulled from the field without any substrate adhering to the roots. Very economical, this plant material, also called dormant strawberry , reveals only the crown and the root mass. Well controlled, it allows to significantly reduce the establishment costs compared to the Tray plant, while guaranteeing excellent root vigor upon recovery. The absence of substrate considerably reduces the weight and therefore the cost of the plant.

Frigo strawberry plant

This type of plant also corresponds to a stolon or seedling prepared for cold storage. It represents an economical technical solution for professional strawberry growers seeking an optimal balance between initial investment and agronomic performance.

To ensure the vigor and quality of young plants, growers are often advised to keep only the first, well-developed seedlings (the first or second) on a single runner, and to cut the runner beyond that. This practice helps prevent exhaustion of the mother plant and ensures optimal spacing between plants.

Health management and prophylaxis of stolons

For professional strawberry growers, runner management is an integral part of farm health protection. As highlighted in our technical guidelines, it is imperative not to propagate your strawberry plants from runners grown on old mother plants . This precaution is crucial to prevent the spread of diseases, particularly viruses and pathogenic fungi, which could seriously compromise the overall health of your crop and the quality of your future production.

Propagation from mature plants, which have already gone through several production cycles, considerably increases the risk of accumulating and spreading these bio-aggressors. Regular renewal of plants , based on certified healthy and disease-free sources, is therefore a fundamental prophylactic measure to maintain the health integrity of your plots and guarantee the sustainability of your harvests.

Specific diseases of stolons

It is also important to note that the runners themselves can be affected by diseases. Strawberry powdery mildew (Podosphaera aphanis), for example, a fungus that causes powdery mildew on strawberries, can be present on the entire plant, including the runners. Young leaves are particularly susceptible, but the disease can occur from March to the end of October depending on weather conditions.

To limit the pressure of this disease, it is advisable to ensure good ventilation of shelters and to control rising humidity, as well as to limit excess nitrogen.

In short, although the stolon is a natural and effective vector of multiplication for the strawberry plant, its use in professional production must be part of a rigorous strategy of health management and varietal renewal to ensure the robustness, productivity and quality of your strawberry fields.
