Agronomic Tips
- Malling Centenary is an early-mid season June-bearer, typically cropping four days ahead of Elsanta standard variety in the UK. The plant densities can vary based on the production system employed: • in glasshouse production, the densities range from 12-14 plants per linear meter. • In tunneled table-top production, the densities typically range from 8-10 plants per linear meter. Malling Centenary has intermediate resistance to powdery mildew. However, the variety is susceptible to root diseases and this should be considered when selecting production sites and plant treatments.
