Origin & Breeding History: 'UCD Victor' originated from a cross conducted in 2011 in Davis, California. The cross was made between the proprietary female parent '08C182P002' and the proprietary male parent '08C138P002'. 'UCD Victor' was selected for asexual propagation in 2012 based on disease and pest resistance, yield, fruit appearance, and resistance to bruising and post-harvest deterioration.
Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for 'UCD Victor' was conducted by Expert Agriculture Team Ltd., in Chilliwack, British Columbia during the 2022 growing season. The plots were arranged in a RBC design with 3 replicates. Each replicate consisted of 10 plants for a total of 30 plants of each variety. Plants were double offset row planted with approximately 30 cm between plants and 20 centimetres between the offset rows. Measurements were taken from 10 plants or parts of 10 plants of each variety.
