Specifications
Magnus is a late 60 day selection and ripens 3-4 days earlier than Malwina. Fruits are very well tasting, fi rm and have a bright red colour. Magnus is suitable for direct sales and retail. Compared to Malwina the fruit is brighter, more uniform in size and appears to develop a higher percentage of Class 1 fruit throughout harvest. The plants are stronger against root and leave diseases. Attention required for flower thrips and blossom weevil due to the late production.
Strongly growing plant that needs wider spacing. The strong growth can delay flower initiation in fall. Therefore, it is recommended to utilise a low feeding strategy during July and August.
