Year-round strawberry production: advancements in forcing techniques to extend the growing season.
Review in Planta, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
MAIN
conclusionYear-round strawberry production is achievable by combining advanced forcing techniques, suitable cultivars (low-chilling or day-neutral), and optimized environmental controls. These strategies extend the growing season, enhance productivity, and enable continuous out-of-season cultivation. Garden strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) is one of the most widely produced and consumed fruit crops worldwide, valued for its distinctive flavor, aroma, and nutritional benefits. Year-round production of garden strawberry is an emerging goal for global horticulture, but traditional, season-bound cultivars limit availability and market continuity. Recent advances in forcing culture techniques, combined with the adoption of low-chilling and day-neutral cultivars, now support continuous strawberry harvests beyond conventional seasons. This review synthesizes key developments in forcing culture across major Japanese and European production systems, focusing on photoperiod and temperature regulation, optimized cultivar selection, and regional adaptations. By extending harvest windows, these strategies help stabilize supply chains and improve grower profitability. The physiological basis of floral induction and cultivar responses is examined to reveal practical, climate-resilient pathways for sustainable strawberry cultivation. Challenges remain in labor efficiency, resource sustainability, and adapting forcing protocols to local environments. Future research should integrate genetic, environmental, and technological innovations, including genetic markers for forcing responsiveness and automated environmental controls, to ensure reliable, high-quality year-round yields. Expanding forcing culture holds promise for stabilizing production, enhancing fruit quality, and supporting sustainable livelihoods amid climate variability and growing global demand.
