Abstract

The objective of the work was to carry out a survey of data on the production of strawberries in the western region of Santa Catarina, which enables the planning of technical assistance actions in the cultivation and development of the production chain. The survey was carried out in 2019, through the application of a questionnaire to Epagri extension workers. The researched data were the number of growers per municipality, cultivation system, number of plants per grower and the cultivars planted. The results show that there are 74 strawberry growers distributed in 81% of the municipalities in the region. The main production system adopted is the semi-hydroponic in elevated benches, which is present in 66% of the properties. Of the 74 growers, 84% are conventional. Regarding the number of cultivated plants, 50% have less than 2500 plants and 74% less than 5000 plants. The predominant cultivars are San Andreas and Albion.
