The fruit is widely appreciated for its characteristic aroma, bright red color, juicy texture, and sweetness. It is consumed in large quantities, either fresh or in such prepared foods as jam, juice, pies, ice cream, milkshakes, and chocolates. Artificial strawberry flavorings and aromas are also widely used in products such as candy, soap, lip gloss, perfume, and many others.The garden strawberry was first bred in Brittany, France, in the 1750s via a cross of Fragaria virginiana from eastern North America and Fragaria chiloensis, which was brought from Chile by Amédée-François Frézier in 1714.WEB,www.botgard.ucla.edu/html/botanytextbooks/economicbotany/Fragaria/index.html, Strawberry, The Maiden With Runners, Botgard.ucla.edu, dead,www.botgard.ucla.edu/html/botanytextbooks/economicbotany/Fragaria/index.html," title="web.archive.org/web/20100706193324www.botgard.ucla.edu/html/botanytextbooks/economicbotany/Fragaria/index.html,">web.archive.org/web/20100706193324www.botgard.ucla.edu/html/botanytextbooks/economicbotany/Fragaria/index.html, 6 July 2010, Cultivars of Fragaria × ananassa have replaced, in commercial production, the woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca), which was the first strawberry species cultivated in the early 17th century.WEB, Welsh, Martin,www.nvsuk.org.uk/growing_show_vegetables_1/strawberry.php,www.nvsuk.org.uk/growing_show_vegetables_1/strawberry.php," title="web.archive.org/web/20080802231801www.nvsuk.org.uk/growing_show_vegetables_1/strawberry.php,">web.archive.org/web/20080802231801www.nvsuk.org.uk/growing_show_vegetables_1/strawberry.php, 2 August 2008, Strawberries, Nvsuk.org.uk, From a botanical point of view, the strawberry is not a berry but an aggregate accessory fruit, meaning that the fleshy part is derived not from the plant’s ovaries but from the receptacle that holds the ovaries.Esau, K.

History

{{More citations needed section|date=September 2023}}(File:Strawberry gariguette DSC03063.JPG|right|thumb|alt=Closeup of a healthy, red strawberry|Fragaria × ananassa ‘Gariguette,’ a cultivar grown in southern France)The first garden strawberry was grown in Brittany, France, during the late 18th century. Prior to this, wild strawberries and cultivated selections from wild strawberry species were the common source of the fruit.The strawberry fruit was mentioned in ancient Roman literature in reference to its medicinal use. The French began taking the strawberry from the forest to their gardens for harvest in the 14th century. Charles V of France ({{reign|1364|1380}}) had 1,200 strawberry plants in his royal garden. In the early 15th century western European monks were using the wild strawberry in their illuminated manuscripts. The strawberry is found in Italian, Flemish, and German art, and in English miniatures.{{citation needed|date=May 2013}} The entire strawberry plant was used to treat depressive illnesses.By the 16th century, references of cultivation of the strawberry became more common. People began using it for its supposed medicinal properties and botanists began naming the different species. In England the demand for regular strawberry farming had increased by the mid-16th century.The combination of strawberries and cream was created by Thomas Wolsey in the court of King Henry VIII.NEWS, Wimbledon’s strawberries and cream has Tudor roots,news.bbc.co.uk/local/surrey/hi/people_and_places/newsid_8756000/8756132.stm, BBC, 9 June 2015, Instructions for growing and harvesting strawberries showed up in writing in 1578. By the end of the 16th century three European species had been cited: F. vesca, F. moschata, and F. viridis. The garden strawberry was transplanted from the forests and then the plants would be propagated asexually by cutting off the runners.(File:Two strawberry leaves sunny.jpg|alt=Strawberry leaves|thumb|Strawberry leaves)Two subspecies of F. vesca were identified: F. sylvestris alba and F. sylvestris semperflorens. The introduction of F. virginiana from eastern North America to Europe in the 17th century is an important part of history because it is one of the two species that gave rise to the modern strawberry. The new species gradually spread through the continent and did not become completely appreciated until the end of the 18th century. A French excursion journeyed to Chile in 1712, which led to the introduction of a strawberry plant with female flowers that resulted in the common strawberry.The Mapuche and Huilliche Indians of Chile cultivated the female strawberry species until 1551, when the Spanish came to conquer the land. In 1765, a European explorer recorded the cultivation of F. chiloensis, the Chilean strawberry. At first introduction to Europe, the plants grew vigorously, but produced no fruit. French gardeners in Brest and Cherbourg around the mid-18th century first noticed that when F. moschata and F. virginiana were planted in between rows of F. chiloensis, the Chilean strawberry would bear abundant and unusually large fruits. Soon after, Antoine Nicolas Duchesne began to study the breeding of strawberries and made several discoveries crucial to the science of plant breeding, such as the sexual reproduction of the strawberry which he published in 1766. Duchesne discovered that the female F. chiloensis plants could only be pollinated by male F. moschata or F. virginiana plants.BOOK,specialcollections.nal.usda.gov/speccoll/collectionsguide/darrow/Darrow_TheStrawberry.pdf, The strawberry; history, breeding, and physiology, 1966, New York Holt Rinehart and Winstonrived, This is when the Europeans became aware that plants had the ability to produce male-only or female-only flowers.Duchesne determined F. ananassa to be a hybrid of F. chiloensis and F. virginiana. F. ananassa, which produces large fruits, is so named because it resembles the pineapple in smell, taste and berry shape. In England, many varieties of F. ananassa were produced, and they form the basis of modern varieties of strawberries currently cultivated and consumed. Further breeding was also conducted in Europe and America to improve the hardiness, disease resistance, size, and taste.During the Green Revolution of the 1950s, agronomists used selective breeding to expand phenotypic diversity of the garden strawberry. Adoption of perpetual flowering hybrids not sensitive to changes in photoperiod gave higher yields and expansion of production in California.JOURNAL, Feldmann, Mitchell J., Pincot, Dominique D.

Color

Pelargonidin-3-glucoside is the major anthocyanin in strawberries and cyanidin-3-glucoside is found in smaller proportions. Although glucose seems to be the most common substituting sugar in strawberry anthocyanins, rutinose, arabinose, and rhamnose conjugates have been found in some strawberry cultivars.Purple minor pigments consisting of dimeric anthocyanins (flavanol-anthocyanin adducts: catechin(4α→8)pelargonidin 3-O-β-glucopyranoside, epicatechin(4α→8)pelargonidin 3-O-β-glucopyranoside, afzelechin(4α→8)pelargonidin 3-O-β-glucopyranoside and epiafzelechin(4α→8)pelargonidin 3-O-β-glucopyranoside) can also be found in strawberries.JOURNAL, 1421–28, 10.1016/j.phytochem.2004.05.003, 15231416, Dimeric anthocyanins from strawberry (Fragaria ananassa) consisting of pelargonidin 3-glucoside covalently linked to four flavan-3-ols, Phytochemistry, 65, 10, 2004, Fossen, Torgils, Rayyan, Saleh, Andersen, Øyvind M, 2004PChem..65.1421F,

Since they lack a protein necessary for normal ripening by anthocyanin synthesis of red pigments, they do not turn the mature berries of other cultivars red. They ripen but remain white, pale yellow or “golden”, appearing like immature berries; this also has the advantage of making them less attractive to birds.

One plant throughout a season may produce 50 to 60 times or roughly once every three days.Research published in 2001 showed that strawberries actually occur in three basic flowering habits: short-day, long-day, and day-neutral. These refer to the day-length sensitivity of the plant and the type of photoperiod that induces flower formation. Day-neutral cultivars produce flowers regardless of the photoperiod.BOOK, Hokanson, S. C., Maas, J.

In this method, raised beds are formed each year, fumigated, and covered with plastic to prevent weed growth and erosion. Plants, usually obtained from northern nurseries, are planted through holes punched in this covering, and irrigation tubing is run underneath. Runners are removed from the plants as they appear, to encourage the plants to put most of their energy into fruit development. After harvesting, the plastic is removed and the plants are plowed into the ground.WEB,www.noble.org/Ag/Horticulture/StrawberryFields/index.html, Strawberry Fields Forever, Noble.org, 5 May 2009, 26 November 2005,www.noble.org/Ag/Horticulture/StrawberryFields/index.html," title="web.archive.org/web/20051126182638www.noble.org/Ag/Horticulture/StrawberryFields/index.html,">web.archive.org/web/20051126182638www.noble.org/Ag/Horticulture/StrawberryFields/index.html, dead, Strawberry plants produce more and better fruit when they are young. After a year or two, they decline. Replacing them annually improves yields and enables denser planting. However, this necessitates a longer growing season, for the plants to establish themselves. It also costs more to annually purchase plants, form new mounds, and cover them with (new) plastic.The other major method retains plants for multiple years. This is most common in colder climates. The plants are grown in rows or on mounds. This method requires lower investment and lower maintenance, overall. Yields are typically lower than in plasticulture.Another method uses a compost sock. Plants grown in compost socks have been shown to produce significantly more flavonoids, anthocyanins, fructose, glucose, sucrose, malic acid, and citric acid than fruit produced in the black plastic mulch or matted row systems.JOURNAL, Wang SW., Millner P., 10.1021/jf9020575, 20560628, Effect of Different Cultural Systems on Antioxidant Capacity, Phenolic Content, and Fruit Quality of Strawberries (Fragaria × aranassa Duch.), Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 57, 20, 9651–57, 2009, Similar results in an earlier study conducted by USDA confirms how compost plays a role in the bioactive qualities of two strawberry cultivars.JOURNAL, Wang SY, Lin HS, Compost as a soil supplement increases the level of antioxidant compounds and oxygen radical absorbance capacity in strawberries, Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 51, 23, 6844–50, November 2003, 14582984, 10.1021/jf030196x, Strawberries may also be propagated by seed, though this is primarily a hobby activity, and is not widely practiced commercially.

Manuring and harvesting

Most strawberry plants are now fed with artificial fertilizers, both before and after harvesting, and often before planting in plasticulture.WEB,edis.ifas.ufl.edu/document_hs370, HS1116/HS370: Nitrogen Fertilization of Strawberry Cultivars: Is Preplant Starter Fertilizer Needed?, Edis.ifas.ufl.edu, 6 August 2007, 5 December 2009, 21 January 2009,edis.ifas.ufl.edu/document_hs370," title="web.archive.org/web/20090121231127edis.ifas.ufl.edu/document_hs370,">web.archive.org/web/20090121231127edis.ifas.ufl.edu/document_hs370, dead, To maintain top quality, berries are harvested at least every other day. The berries are picked with the caps still attached and with at least half an inch of stem left. Strawberries need to remain on the plant to fully ripen because they do not continue to ripen after being picked. Rotted and overripe berries are removed to minimize insect and disease problems. The berries do not get washed until just before consumption.WEB, Bordelon, Bruce, Growing Strawberries,www.purdue.edu/hla/sites/yardandgarden/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/10/HO-46.pdf, Purdue University, (File:Picker on a strawberry field in Quebec, Canada.jpg|alt=A man carries a flat of strawberries in a field|thumb|Strawberries are usually picked and placed in shallow boxes in the field.)Soil test information and plant analysis results are used to determine fertility practices. Nitrogen fertilizer is needed at the beginning of every planting year. There are normally adequate levels of phosphorus and potash when fields have been fertilized for top yields. To provide more organic matter, a cover crop of wheat or rye is planted in the winter before planting the strawberries. Strawberries prefer a pH from 5.5 to 6.5, so lime is usually not applied.WEB, Production Guide for Commercial Strawberries,www.extension.iastate.edu/Publications/PM672D.pdf, Iowa State University, The harvesting and cleaning process has not changed substantially over time. As they are delicate, strawberries are still harvested by hand.WEB,www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/horticulture/DG6237.html, Commercial Postharvest Handling of Strawberries (Fragaria spp.), Extension.umn.edu, 5 May 2009, 8 July 2013,www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/horticulture/DG6237.html," title="web.archive.org/web/20130708141909www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/horticulture/DG6237.html,">web.archive.org/web/20130708141909www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/horticulture/DG6237.html, dead, Grading and packing often occurs in the field, rather than in a processing facility. In large operations, strawberries are cleaned by means of water streams and shaking conveyor belts.

Domestic cultivation

Strawberries are popular in home gardens, and numerous cultivars have been selected for consumption and for exhibition purposes.BOOK, Klein, Carol, Grow your own fruit, 2009, Mitchell Beazley, UK, 978-1-84533-434-5, 224, The following cultivars have gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit:

Marketing

(File:Strawberries at Ljubljana Central Market.JPG|thumb|left|Fresh strawberries being sold in plastic containers)In the United States in 2017, the collective commercial production of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries was a $6{{nbsp}}billion industry dominated by the California growing and marketing company Driscoll’s. In 2017, strawberries alone were a $3.5{{nbsp}}billion market of which 82% was for fresh fruit.WEB, Strawberries,www.agmrc.org/commodities-products/fruits/strawberries, Agricultural Marketing Resource Center, US Department of Agriculture, 26 June 2019, 1 April 2019, To increase consumer demand in the 21st century, commercial producers of strawberries cultivated them mainly for favorable aroma characteristics similar to those of wild strawberries, in addition to having large size, heart-shape, glossy red exterior, firmness, and slow ripening for long shelf-life favorable to ship by ground transportation from farms to stores nationwide for consumption within two weeks of harvest. In US and Canadian grocery stores, fresh strawberries are typically sold in plastic clamshells, and are among the top fresh produce items in grocery revenues. One marketing analysis identified strawberries and other berries as a source of “happiness” for consumers.

Pests

Around 200 species of pests are known to attack strawberries both directly and indirectly.WEB,www.virginiafruit.ento.vt.edu/StrawMaster.html, Insect Pests of Strawberries and Their Management, Virginiafruit.ento.vt.edu, 3 May 2000, 5 December 2009, These pests include slugs, moths, fruit flies, chafers, strawberry root weevils, strawberry thrips, strawberry sap beetles, strawberry crown moth, mites, aphids, and others.WEB,ipmworld.umn.edu/chapters/rao.htm, Radcliffe’s IPM World Textbook | CFANS | University of Minnesota, Ipmworld.umn.edu, 20 November 2009, 5 December 2009, dead,ipmworld.umn.edu/chapters/rao.htm," title="web.archive.org/web/20090626055601ipmworld.umn.edu/chapters/rao.htm,">web.archive.org/web/20090626055601ipmworld.umn.edu/chapters/rao.htm, 26 June 2009, The caterpillars of a number of species of Lepidoptera feed on strawberry plants.
