Happy to share our paper where we integrated digital, field, and DNA data and demonstrated that biomass traits are genetically controlled and can be predicted in future breeding populations with the use of DNA markers. ⬇️ @UfBreeding @vance_whitaker https://t.co/r70eFhIBrn

We are pleased to share these recent photos of our Encore®️ variety, captured today, in a production field in Huelva, Spain. This variety stands out for its robust plants and extraordinary earliness, ensuring high yields from the early stages of cultivation.

After back to back hurricanes in FL, we finally have our strawberries on the ground! We were able to do 2 weeks' worth of planting in just a week! This was only possible because of the amazing people we have. We are truly grateful! Ready for the 2024-2025 Strawberry season 🍓
