Agronomic characteristics and varietal specificities

The Malwina strawberry plant is recognized as a non-remontant variety , distinguished by its very late production . Its fruit, with a particularly attractive visual presentation, has a dark red to bright red exterior color, uniform and deep. The flesh, for its part, is a deep red, often slightly lighter than the skin, but always perfectly colored, without the presence of a white heart or pale areas.

Regarding the size, Malwina produces very large fruits , with an average weight frequently observed between 40 and 50 grams . In fact, approximately 85% of its fruits are large in size , displaying a conical shape, notable firmness and excellent resistance to bad weather. These fruits are also very shiny, with a smooth and thin skin, ensuring very good shelf life and increased resistance to handling. The consistency of the flesh is both very firm and juicy , qualities that make it ideal for transport and storage. In terms of taste, Malwina offers a very sweet and intense flavor , with a pronounced aroma, and fragrant flesh. Its hardiness is also a major asset, conferring strong resistance to diseases and good resistance to adverse conditions.

Fertilization strategies and substrate preparation

To fully exploit the potential of the Malwina strawberry, rigorous cultural management is essential. It is imperative to require a rich, well-drained and slightly acidic soil , with a pH ideally between 6 and 6.5 .

Basal fertilization is essential, with a recommended application of 80 to 120 units of nitrogen (N) per hectare , 80 to 100 units of phosphorus (P₂O₅) and 150 to 180 units of potash (K₂O) annually. A split application strategy is recommended: half of the nitrogen, all of the phosphorus and 70% of the potash are incorporated before planting, preferably in autumn or early spring, in the form of natural organic or mineral fertilizers. Incorporating 30 to 40 tonnes per hectare of well-rotted manure or compost , 3 to 4 months before planting, is crucial to enrich the soil with organic matter (aim for a rate above 2%) and prevent excess salinity. The remaining nitrogen and potash are applied as maintenance in the spring, at the start of the growing season (March-April), split into two applications spaced three weeks apart if necessary. It is important to avoid excess nitrogen, which could harm fruiting and increase the risk of fungal diseases.

Trace element intake should also be monitored: magnesium (30 to 40 units/ha) and calcium (80 to 120 units/ha) are particularly important, as is boron (1 to 2 kg/ha) for fruit set. Regular watering is essential during growth and fruiting, especially on light soils.

Crop cycle and renewal of plantations

Regarding productive lifespan, it is generally recommended to renew plantations every 3 years in intensive cultivation, in order to maintain regular production and optimal quality. Beyond this period, vigor, fruit size and health resistance decrease significantly. Renewal by whole beds is preferable to avoid the persistence of pathogenic sources, and the systematic use of stolons from old plants for replanting should be avoided.

Productive performance and harvest schedule

The Malwina strawberry plant, although late, offers a very satisfactory yield for professionals. The average yield per plant is estimated between 700 grams and more than 1 kilogram in good growing conditions. Projected on a hectare scale, with a classic planting density of 40,000 to 50,000 plants/ha, this represents a production potential of 28 to 35 tons per hectare for an average of 700 g/plant, reaching 40 to 50 tons per hectare in optimal conditions with a yield of 1 kg/plant.

Specialized production window

Malwina is a very late variety , significantly extending the harvest season. Its production generally extends from the end of July to mid-August , or even from the end of June to mid-July according to other sources. It is considered one of the last varieties to produce, thus offering the possibility of spreading the supply to the markets. Production is spread over more than 20 days , and the rate of unmarketable fruit remains very low, less than 5% , which ensures excellent value for the harvest.

Pathological resistance and phytosanitary management

The Malwina strawberry plant is distinguished by its strong resistance to major strawberry diseases , a considerable asset for growers keen to limit inputs and adopt more sustainable practices. The variety is known for its very good resistance to Botrytis (grey fruit rot), Verticillium (Verticillium wilt), Anthracnose and Phytophthora (red crown). Its overall robustness contributes to a healthy and vigorous plant.

Integrated pest management strategies

For common pests such as thrips, aphids, spider mites, weevils (Anthonomus) or Drosophila suzukii, the sources do not provide specific resistance data for Malwina. For these pests, the management strategy is therefore based on classic integrated pest management methods , including regular monitoring, the use of natural auxiliaries and, if necessary, targeted interventions. The robustness of the Malwina variety, however, reduces the need for phytosanitary treatments in general.

Commercial development and distribution logistics

The firmness and juiciness of Malwina's flesh make it ideal for transport and storage, a major logistical advantage for professionals. The variety offers excellent post-harvest shelf life , limiting losses and ensuring flexibility in marketing.

Primarily intended for fresh consumption , Malwina is perfectly suited to direct sale in local markets, restaurants or pastry shops, where its taste qualities and visual appearance are highly valued. The high percentage of large-sized fruits (around 85%) facilitates their packaging and transport for fresh sale. Although its productivity is described as average, the exceptional quality of the fruits more than compensates for this characteristic, making it a strategic choice to spread production late in the season.

Diversification of outlets

Malwina is also very popular for freezing and culinary preparations , especially jams, thanks to its good stability and aromatic richness after cooking. This versatility, combined with its high proportion of first-class fruit ( over 95% when packaged ), guarantees excellent profitability.

Field feedback and expert recommendations

Feedback from growers highlights the robustness of the Malwina variety and its ability to maintain good growth even in difficult conditions. Its strong resistance to diseases, particularly Verticillium and fruit rot, is regularly cited as a key factor in its reliability in cultivation. Despite productivity sometimes described as average compared to other varieties, the intrinsic quality of Malwina fruit is unanimously praised, making it a preferred choice for demanding end-of-season markets. Its ability to be frozen without significant alteration of flavor makes it an asset for diversifying outlets, such as culinary preparations.

Technical support and professional networks

For professionals wishing to deepen their knowledge and optimize the cultivation of Malwina strawberries, it is recommended to rely on the expertise of specialized nurserymen and technical advisors from chambers of agriculture or organizations such as the CTIFL (Interprofessional Technical Center for Fruits and Vegetables). These entities offer soil analyses, personalized crop monitoring and regular technical bulletins, which are essential for refining fertilization plans, irrigation strategies and health management according to local specificities and production objectives. Access to these networks allows you to exchange feedback from other producers and benefit from the latest advances in cultivation techniques for this promising variety.
