Strawberry NF 421

Italian breeding for your field: why choose NF 421

New Fruits S.A.S, led by experts Bernardini Danilo, Marchetti Enriko, and Siboni Adriana, has developed a variety that balances resilience with production efficiency. The NF 421 strawberry is designed for open-field cultivation, offering growers a reliable, extended harvest window that outlasts many traditional mid-season varieties.

Key Features and Market Appeal

The standout feature of NF 421 is its prolonged fruiting period (40-50 days). This is a strategic advantage for those looking to maintain a consistent supply to the fresh market without needing to stagger multiple plantings. The berries are elongated and possess a vibrant red color, with an average weight of 20-30 grams. Their medium density makes them versatile enough for fresh sales, yet robust enough for freezing and industrial processing.

Resilience and Plant Health

Disease management is often the most expensive part of strawberry farming. NF 421 mitigates this risk through genetic resistance to verticillium wilt, fusarium wilt, and powdery mildew. By choosing a variety with built-in protection against these soil-borne pathogens, growers can significantly reduce their reliance on chemical fungicides, leading to a more sustainable and cost-effective production cycle.

Who is this variety for?

• Commercial growers who need a consistent, long-term yield for fresh market sales.
• Producers of frozen goods and processed berries who require a steady flow of raw material over a 50-day window.
• Farmers looking for an open-field variety that can withstand common soil issues with minimal intervention.

NF 421 is a professional-grade selection that turns the Italian focus on quality and consistency into a tangible asset for your agricultural business.
