Favori strawberry plants: a French everbearing variety

The Favori strawberry is a French everbearing variety, early to mid-season, that produces from May to October. Its regular, conical, bright light red fruit suits direct sales and punnets alike. Fraisiverse offers its plants at producer prices, with delivery to Europe and Switzerland.

A balanced taste with a wild strawberry aroma

The Favori offers a balanced, sweet and slightly tart taste with a wild strawberry aroma. Its fruit size is medium and uniform, from 15 to 20 grams, with excellent presentation and a low share of unmarketable fruit. A very uniform variety, it gives neat, regular punnets, an asset for direct sales.

Yield and production from May to October

The Favori gives a high yield, up to 25% above Charlotte, with continuous production from May to October. Like any everbearing variety, it produces in several waves: a first harvest in late spring and summer, then a second after summer, until the first frosts. For a well-managed field-grown strawberry, the cultivation benchmarks are 300 to 500 g of fruit per plant per season, or 20 to 25 tonnes per hectare under professional management.

Planting: choose the plant type according to the date

In open ground, the Favori can be planted almost all year round by choosing the right plant type. Potted plants are best planted from late July through autumn, fresh plants from late summer to autumn, and cold-stored (frigo) plants in spring for a harvest the same year. A frigo plant set early in spring can give a few fruits in the first year, but most of the potential comes the following year. Allow about 27 cm between plants in the row and 35 cm between rows, around 40,000 plants per hectare, adjusted to vigor and your equipment. Plant shallow, with the crown level with the soil and never buried. Compare the ranges in our everbearing strawberry plants.

Soil, water and crop management

Strawberries prefer a light, well-drained loamy soil rich in humus, with a slightly acidic pH, ideally between 5.8 and 6.5. Avoid heavy soils that hold water and very chalky soils, which cause chlorosis. Mulch, either plastic film or organic material such as clean straw or wood chips, keeps fruit clean and limits weeding. Irrigation must be regular but not excessive: allow 2.5 to 4 cm of water per week in season, paying particular attention to flowering and fruit sizing. Moderate, potassium-rich fertilization is enough, avoiding excess nitrogen that produces foliage at the expense of fruit. A strawberry plant stays truly productive for about three years, with a peak in the second and third year.

Disease resistance and prevention

The Favori is very resistant and has low susceptibility to disease. It should nevertheless grow without excess water, like any strawberry variety. The main diseases of the crop are gray mold, powdery mildew, anthracnose, root diseases and leaf spots. They are prevented first by good hygiene: healthy plants, long rotation, well-drained soil, airy planting, watering at the base and clean mulch. Where needed, solutions exist in both organic and conventional production, to be adapted to your growing system.
