Thirteen June bearing cultivars and twelve Maryland-USDA breeding program selections were tested in the south central Missouri Ozark region during the 1986-1989 seasons. Production was on ground level matted rows at 24 in (61 cm) by 42 in (107 cm) spacing. The highest yielding cultivars and selections were ‘Earliglow,’ MDUS 5076 (early); ‘Kent,’ ‘Honeoye,’ ‘Redchief’ (early-midseason); MDUS 5084, ‘Allstar,’ ‘Jewel,’ ‘Lester,’ (late-midseason); and MDUS 4740, ‘Delite’ (late). ‘Earliglow,’ ‘Honeoye,’ ‘Allstar,’ and ‘Delite’ yielded 30% less than in a previous station trial (three year average). This was due primarily to blossom mortality that occurred because of the lack of irrigation for frost control, Disease ratings showed no clear trends.
