| 0 | PI 551598 | 'Surecrop' | Fragaria ×ananassa Duchesne ex Rozier | Maryland, United States | COR |  | Not Available | 1984 | DEVELOPED | 1956 | | | | | Cultivar | The Horticultural Crops Research Branch and the Maryland Agricultural Experiment Station hereby release for introduction the strawberry variety SURECROP, formerly tested as Md-US-2233- The strawberry originated as a seedling from the cross of Fairland x Md-US-192. It was raised at Salisbury, Md., In 1950 and selected in the fruiting season of 1951SURECROP ripens in midseason, about with Fairland and Temple. The berries average large In size and maintain large size during the picking season. The berries have a light bright red color that becomes a rich red but does not turn dark. They are firm with a tough glossy skin and yellow seeds even with the surface. Primary berries are somewhat irregular wedge shaped, later berries are uniform short conic. Their flavor is tart and good and they have been rated as satisfactory for frozen pack.Plants of SURECROP are very vigorous, produce many runners, are highly resistant to the common race and to one newer race of red and partially resistant to a third race. The plants have been productive in narrow matted rows at the University of Maryland Research Farm, Salisbury, Md. In 1955, SURECROP averaged 390 crates 24 quart per acre compared with 385 for Blakemore and 450 for Stelemaster. In 1956, late spring frosts reduced the yields materially but SURECROP yielded 235 crates per acre, Blakemore 220, and Stelemaster 115- For the first 2 pickings of the 1955 season, 4 percent of the total crop of SURECROP was harvested compared with 16 percent for Blakemore and 30 percent for Stelemaster.SURECROP has been tested from Pennsylvania and New York to southern Virginia and westward to Ohio. It is most useful in red-stele-infested soils because of resistance to more than one race of red stele.USDA-ARSSurecrop was bred by D.H. Scott of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, cooperating with the University of Maryland, and was introduced in 1956. Of all American varieties it is the most resistant to diseases-to several strains of red stele root rot, leaf spots, leaf scorch, and Verticillium wilt-and is drought resistant. It is very vigorous. Midseason. Its berries are firm, glossy light red, have good dessert and freezing quality, and they are tart. It is productive. Limitations: its tartness, and it should be larger, firmer, and more productive.G. Darrow. 1966. The Strawberry. p. 157.
