Strawberry VIMA KSIMA

Stable Yield for Commercial Farming

The Dutch breeding company Vissers Aardbeiplanten B.V. has introduced the 'Vima Xima' variety, which is rightfully considered a workhorse for farmers focused on open-field cultivation. This non-remontant, mid-season variety is optimal for operations requiring predictable, marketable yields without excessive spending on protective covers.

Agronomics and Protection

The key advantage of 'Vima Xima' is its high genetic resistance to the most dangerous berry diseases. Farmers choose this variety for its reduced need for fungicide applications against verticillium wilt, powdery mildew, and gray mold. This significantly lowers the budget for crop protection and facilitates integration into eco-friendly farming schemes.

Practical Scenarios

• Industrial Production: With a yield of 1.5–2.0 kg per plant under proper care and a berry mass of 20–30 grams, the variety is perfect for both fresh market sales and processing/freezing.
• Climate Adaptation: The variety demonstrates reliability in temperate climates with frost resistance down to -18°C, making it a predictable choice for open fields in many regions.
• Logistical Potential: The round-conical shape and vibrant bright red (maturing to dark red) color make the berries highly attractive to retailers, while the firm skin structure ensures excellent transportability.

'Vima Xima' from Vissers Aardbeiplanten B.V. is the choice for those who prioritize plant endurance and harvest stability, fulfilling the need for a high-quality mid-season product for the fresh berry market.
