\u201c\u2018AC-L\u2019 Acadie\u2019 Strawberry\u201d<\/strong> SCI 337<\/p>\n \u2018AC-L\u2019Acadie\u2019 is a June-bearing strawberry cultivar (Fragaria \u00d7 ananassa Duch.) bred by Shahrokh Khanizadeh, Bertrand Theriault, Odile Carisse and Deborah Buszard, and released in 1999 for Quebec and Eastern Central Canada growing conditions. \u2018AC-L\u2019Acadie\u2019 produces large, firm fruit and the plants are moderately resistant to leaf diseases and partially resistant to the principal eastern races of red stele (Phytophthora fragariae Hickman). \u2018AC-L\u2019Acadie\u2019 fruit store very well at room temperature for several days, making them ideal for shipping or for growers who need to store fresh fruit. The cultivar is recommended for pick-your-own and\/or fresh-market producers. The Prefix \u201cAC\u201d in the name stands for \u201cAgriculture and Agri-Food Canada.\u201d The name \u2018L\u2019Acadie\u2019 was chosen because this cultivar was originally selected at the L\u2019Acadie substation of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and it was tested there for several years. This is also the site where much of the strawberry research and breeding is conducted in the province of Quebec.<\/p>\n (Description Source: HortScience<\/a>).
