Strawberry Tenira

Technical Profile of the Tenira Variety

Tenira is a selective solution for intensive berry production, where the key parameter is the balance between transportability and pathogen resistance. Unlike soft dessert varieties, this hybrid is optimized for the rigors of industrial harvesting and long-term storage.

Biological Protection and Stress Tolerance

The fundamental advantage of this variety is its genetically fixed resistance to complex rots. High tolerance to gray mold and root rot significantly reduces the need for fungicide treatments, which is critical in greenhouse conditions where high humidity triggers disease outbreaks. Frost resistance down to -25°C allows the variety to be cultivated in regions with volatile climates without the risk of root system winterkill.

Fruit Morphology and Production Specification

• Shape and Structure: The conical shape of the berry facilitates an even distribution of tissue density, preventing deformation during packaging.
• Consistency: The dense flesh ensures the preservation of commercial appeal during freezing; the berry retains its structure after thawing.
• Organoleptics: The deep dark red color indicates high anthocyanin content, which is highly sought after in the processing segment.

A medium ripening period (40-50 days) allows for effective supply chain planning, optimizing labor utilization on the plantation. The versatility of the technology (open and closed ground) makes Tenira a robust tool for those seeking predictable, high-yield results at an industrial scale.
