Variety: Plarionfre*.
Origin: crossing between sel. n. 92-44 x 86-032. Selected in the experimental field of Planasa in Cartaya (Huelva), Spain. Bred and registered by Planasa - Inotalis. EU 10.429 (20-01-03)
Plant: medium vigour and less compact than Tudla*, with green leaves not very dense in its crown. Good root system that performs better in disinfected or fertile soils.
Flowers: at level with foliage or slightly above it depending on culture cycle. It keeps unique peduncles in first flowering. Very high quality of pollen.
Fruit: conical-cuneiform shape and bright red colour presenting a good apical pollination. Very little predisposition to chilling deformation or poor fecundation. Fruit colours homogeneously with medium-large calibre. It maintains size throughout harvest without significant size variations. Skin is elastic and has good resistance to handling and transport. Achenes are placed levelled with surface. Pulp is red, homogeneous, aromatic and slightly acidic.
Harvesting: very early, about one to two weeks before Tudla. It allows very early plantations. Easy to harvest as fruit is well exposed beyond plant foliage on a small compact plant.
Agronomical characteristics: Plarionfre* is a very early, not very vigorous variety, whose distances between plants must be between 18 and 22 cm for fresh plants. This earliness and density of plantation allows for a good yield during the firsts harvest months. For this variety it is important to establish foliage mass early to assure a good yield. Otherwise it can suffer from early plant weakness. Good preparation, disinfection and fertilization of soil are advisable. It has a good skin elasticity skin but a medium firmness pulp. Therefore it is recommended not to harvest excessively ripe fruit.
