Official start of Plant Campaign 2011

Today has started the campaign of strawberry plant in our nursery facilities. At 5 in the morning more than 480 workers have begun to select and pack the plants that we are already sending to our clients.

Nursery Status July 2011

admin — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 12:33:28 +0000

After three months of culture in the nursery we can say, generally speaking, that it is two to three weeks later than usual. This is something that we have observed in other nurseries in the area, as a result of the good temperatures in May and June. We think this may be good for the crop that will allow plants to gain maturity earlier and be in good shape in October. Anyway it is a bit too early to jump the gun as there is still a lot of Summer ahead.

Regarding the production, our main variety is still Splendor occupying more than 80% of our nursery, the rest continue with “classic” varieties of our program as Honor or Endurance, which are a success in certain areas. Another big part of the nursery varieties is testing. In this sense, we already have some selctions with very good features which we hope to be commercial in two or three years.

Presentation of Splendor Results 2011

admin — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 09:40:13 +0000

On June 21th Vivero el Pinar and Plant Sciences presented, on Palos de la Frontera (Huevla) the final results of the Splendor Strawberry verity for the 2011 season.

The act, presented by Javier Esteban Director of Vivero el Pinar and Antonio Vazquez, Technical Director, was followed by more than sixty local farmers and technicians. During the presentation, It was summarized all production data of the Splendor variety developed by the Plant Science’s program in California, which is being cultivated in Huelva since 2005. Splendor has represented over 20% of the total production, among a total of 110 million plants and it is very probable i will achieve 30% next season with over 145 million plants.

Despite of the even campaign and the lack of grams per plan in all Splendor varieties, the average has reached a 740g-per-plant, with an early production of 430g before March 30th, which has lead Splendor to be, once again, the reference variety for the farmer, at an average profit of 16 cents per plant more than the rest of varieties on the market.

Regarding the behavior of the cultures, the settling of the plant was very good from the beginning. Despite the fact the plant was discharged in Aprile’s first forth night as a result of the high temperatures, the end of the season standards have been good, even if the season has finished earlier than usual.

We must point out the really interesting feedback at the end of the presentation, given by farmers and technicians, which will for sure enrich our knowledge and experience in order to obtain better results in the future

Actualidad Splendor

Esta campaña esta siendo un muy buena para las plantas en maceta, nuestra variedad Splendor se esta comportando muy bien en Huelva y en Marruecos donde los agricultores ya han recogido más de 80 gramos por planta. Los precios están acompañando por lo que de momento las expectativas son muy buenas.

Por otro lado las plantas a raíz desnuda por lo general están retrasadas debido principalmente a las fuertes lluvias que estamos sufriendo en Huelva en desde finales de noviembre. Aun así esperamos ver las primeras frutas de Splendor en los mercados la segunda semana de Enero.

Sum up of the strawberry season in Huelva April 2010.

Mario Esteban — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 20:45:24 +0000

The present strawberry season in Huelva is being complicated, firstly due to the bad weather and heavy rains, and lately because of the bad prices. Regarding the varieties, Splendor is specially behaving well, and at this moment it is keeping on a perfect condition in most of the fields. Production is being very high and the quality of the fruit is also perfect. Splendor is showing itself to be the real alternative in Huelva’s market, compiting against the rest of the varieties in terms of quality and production. From Vivero El Pinar we continue working so that our growers obtain the best results with Splendor

FIRST SPLENDOR FRUITS

admin — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 21:29:56 +0000

hese days we are in Huelva visiting our clients´ fields. At last we have seen the first Splendor fruits from bare-root plants (Splendor pot plants have started to be produced for more than 15 days), so all the fields we have seen are more or less at the same stage. As warmer regions are always more sensitive to weather, production is being a little earlier . The accompanying photo was taken today in Palos de la Frontera (Huelva).
