From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

cv. 'Camino Real' is a cultivar of strawberry produced by the Shaw & Larson era of the UC Davis breeding program.[1][2]

Breeding

[edit]

'Camino Real' is the result of a cross of Cal 89.230-7 × Cal 90.253-3.[3] It was created in 1994, first fruited in 1995 at the Wolfskill Experimental Orchard near Winters, California,[2] and was renamed from 'C213' to cv. 'Camino Real' and released in 2001.[3]

Specific regions

[edit]

'Camino Real' produces heavily in the Central Coast of California.[4] 'CR' yields over 4,000 pounds per acre (4.5 t/ha) more than cv. 'Chandler', and berries average 27 grams vs. 21 grams, in Fresno County, California.[5]

'Camino Real' is unusually vulnerable to Botrytis Fruit Rot (Botrytis cinerea) in the conditions around the University of Florida's Gulf Coast Research and Education Center in Dover, Florida.[6] Chandler et al., 2006 finds 'CR' is the worst among several common varieties, although 'Sweet Charlie' is also consistently somewhat susceptible.[6] It is possible that the Botrytis problem in 'CR' could be remedied with different fungicide timing.[6]

Louisiana State University recommends 'Camino Real' for commercial production[7] for its large berries, good firmness, and high yield in the state's conditions.[8] In Louisiana this is a mid-season yielding variety.[8]

In South Louisiana specifically, 'Camino Real' is June-bearing, and is recommended for commercial growers in this area.[9]

Canadian inspectors trialed 'Camino Real' in Langley, British Columbia in 2003 and 2004 and found it to be later-maturing than cv. 'Rainier' or cv. 'Ventana'.[2] Oregon Extension does not recommend this for the Pacific North West.[10]

'Camino Real' is recommended for Victoria, Australia, by Victorian Strawberries.[11]

Although isolates of Bc with carbendazim- and procymidone-resistance have appeared in Argentina, isolates from 'Camino Real' specifically are still vulnerable to both.[12]

Cultivation

[edit]

'Camino Real' is a short-day variety.[3] It is licensed by UCD ITC.[13]

Disease

[edit]

'Camino Real' is moderately susceptible to Ramularia (Ramularia tulasnei, Common Leaf Spot),[13][11] mildly to Powdery Mildew (Sphaerotheca macularis),[13][11] is variously described as moderately resistant[13][11] or susceptible[14] to Anthracnose Crown Rot (Colletotrichum acutatum), is highly resistant to Verticillium Wilt (Verticillium dahliae),[13][11] and highly resistant to Phytophthora Crown Rot (Phytophthora cactorum),[13][11] and very susceptible to Gray Mold (Botrytis cinerea).[14] When combined with insecticidal treatment, tolerant to Two-Spotted Spidermite (Tetranychus urticae) as much as or better than cv. 'Gaviota'.[13]

Pests

[edit]

'Camino Real' is repellent and insecticidal to all stages of Western Flower Thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis).[15] 'CR' is dramatically more repellent and insecticidal than cv. 'Camarosa' and somewhat more than cv. 'Albion'.[15]
