ABSTRACT:

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct short-day strawberry variety designated as ‘BG-378’. This new variety is a result of a controlled cross of ‘PS-592’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,903) and ‘Laguna’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,663). The variety is botanically known as
Fragaria ananassa
. In comparison to the parental cultivar ‘Laguna’, ‘BG-378’ fruit is larger in size, has firmer skin, better overall fruit appearance, and better overall fruit yield. In comparison to parental cultivar ‘PS-592’, ‘BG-378’ fruit is larger in size, has higher overall fruit yield, and is more vigorous in plant growth. These comparisons are made in a side by side trial grown in Oxnard, Calif.
The seedling resulting from the aforementioned cross was asexually propagated by stolons in a nursery located in Lassen County, Calif., and was subsequently selected from a controlled breeding plot near Oxnard, Calif. in 1996. After its selection, the new variety was further asexually propagated in both Lassen County, Calif. and Siskiyou County, Calif. by stolons and extensively tested over the next several years in fruiting fields near Oxnard, Calif. This propagation has demonstrated that the combination of traits disclosed herein as characterizing the new variety are fixed and remain true to type through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
