The article deals with major economic characters important when growing common garden
strawberries. Using the example of strawberries growing in western Georgia, the structural components of
productivity and yields of individual varieties were studied, and their resistance to diseases and pests was
revealed. Research covered the day neutral strawberry varieties, such as Albion, Monterey and Murano, and
the short-day varieties, such as Camarosa, Sweet Charlie and Elsanta of the 2017-2018 strawberry harvest,
produced by LLC “ADINA”. It was determined that the of the short-day strawberry varieties, the most
productive in terms of the flower set and average weight of berries is Camarosa, and the Elsanta variety was
the most sensitive to the temperature influence and, consequently low-productive.
In terms of the average weight of formed berries and their sizes, the Monterey variety has highest indicators,
while the Murano variety has the lowest ones. For two years of fructification, the highest yields were
obtained from the varieties of the day neutral variety of Monterey and the short-day variety of Camarosa.
According to a 2-point evaluation system, under optimal conditions for the development of powdery mildew,
a high resistance to this disease of the varieties Albion, Murano, Camaros, Sweet Charlie was revealed. It
was shown that all studied varieties are highly resistant to brown patch disease. On the back of high
temperature and low humidity, the Murano, Camarosa, Sweet Charlie varieti
