Narrative

Parentage/Origin: The strawberry variety Tango was raised at Horticulture Research International - East Malling from a cross, made in 1985 by Dr David Simpson and Judi Bell, between Rapella and Selva. Selected in 1986 because of its high yield of early, firm fruit, Tango, formerly EMR25, was released to industry in 1994 following extensive trialling.Yield and Fruit Size: Tango has consistently been the highest yielding of all everbearing and day-neutral varieties in UK trials since 1988. From an autumn planting the yield is typically at least 50% higher than Rapella, the standard everbearing variety in UK production over the last ten years. Fruit size is also superior to Rapella, with approximately 45% of the Class 1 yield normally greater than 35mm.Fruit Quality: The berries are attractive with a regular conical shape and orange-red colour. They are firm with a slightly acid flavour.Season: Tango begins cropping 7 to 14 days earlier than Rapella and the period of peak production is normally 10-14 days earlier. Planting date (spring vs autumn) has very little influence on either the season or the total yield. Plant Characteristics: Plants are compact and produce very few runners. Tango can be planted at a higher density than Rapella, thus increasing its yield potential per hectare. Trials data suggests that Tango, in common with other everbearing varieties, benefits from extra feeding, either by fertigation or the use of controlled-release fertilisers.Disease Resistance: Tango is moderately resistant to wilt (Verticillium dahliae) and has some race-specific resistance to red core (Phytophthora fragariae), including two of the three most common UK races. It is susceptible to powdery mildew (Sphaerotheca macularis) but, like Calypso, the symptoms appear mainly on the leaves rather than the fruit. Tango should be planted as far as possible from major sources of infection, eg. away from mildew susceptible varieties such as Elsanta to minimise infection risks.Marketing: Tango's cropping pattern will give strawberry growers an opportunity to exploit earlier markets, previouslyLists of suppliers for Tango are available centrally through: unattainable with existing everbearing varieties. It has an attractive appearance and regular shape which should make it suitable for all market outlets including the supermarkets.Use of the Variety: Tango is an exceptionally early everbearer and gives an overlapping season with the later June-bearing (short-day) varieties, such as Bogota, without the need for any special treatments to advance cropping. The bulk of the fruit is produced in the first six weeks of harvest making it suitable for growing in combination with a late day-neutral variety such as Selva, thus giving a very long season of production.NSA Plants LTD.
