Strawberry is cultivated as a temperate fruit crop in India and it can be grown throughout the year. In India, strawbeery is commercially cultivated in Nilgiri hills, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana. Strawberry prefers a temperate climate for its vegetative growth. Twelve hours of daylight period is preferred for its flower bud inititation. But this requirement of daylenght may differ from cutivar to cultivar. Generally moderate temperatures are preferred by strawberry plants. Major strawberry cultivars that are grown under septentrional climatic conditions (that is, short day lenghts in autumn and severe winter conditions) are Senga Sengana; Gorella and Redgaunlet. An important strawberry cultivar that is best adapted to meridional climatic conditions (that is, long daylenghts in autumn and moderate winter conditions) is Tioga. Day-neutral cultivars of strawberry include Hecker, Tristar, Silva, Fern, Muir, and Trileute. Day-neutral cultivars of strawberries are among high yielding strawberry varieties.
