‘다하’는 농촌진흥청 국립식량과학원 고령지농업연구소에서 2018년도 육성한 사계성 딸기 신품종이다. ‘다하’는 ‘새봉3호’ 를 모본으로 하고 ‘고하’를 부본으로 2012년 교배하여, 고온 장일 조건에서 과실이 크고 화방이 연속적으로 출현되는 우수한 사계성 개체를 선발한 것이다. 대관령의 여름재배 작형에서 2015년부터 2016년까지 생산력 및 특성검정을 거쳐 ‘새봉 10호’로 계통명을 부여하고, 지역적응성 시험을 거쳐 ‘다하’로 명명하였다. ‘다하’의 초형은 반개장형이며, 초세가 왕성하다. 과실모양은 원추형이며, 과색은 붉은 색이다. ‘다하’의 화방장은 25.3 cm 로 대조품종인 ‘고하’보다 14.1 cm 더 짧았다. 또한 ‘다하’의 출현화방수는 12.3개로 ‘고하’의 15.0개보다 2.7개 더 적게 발 생하였다. ‘다하’의 평균과중은 12.0 g으로 ‘고하’의 9.0 g보다 3.0 g 더 무거웠다. 그러나 과실품질은 두 품종 모두 비슷하였다. ‘다하’의 상품수량은 45,972 kg·ha-1로 ‘고하’의 21,481 kg·ha-1 보다 214% 증수되었다. 따라서 ‘다하’는 대과성이며 수확량이 많은 사계성 품종으로 농가보급 시 높은 소득이 기대된다.
‘Daha’ is a new strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) cultivar, which was released by the Highland Agriculture Research Institute in 2018. The ‘Daha’ cultivar originated from a cross between ‘Saebong No. 3’ and ‘Goha’, which showed excellent everbearing characteristics, including continuous flowering habit and big size fruit under long-day and high-temperature conditions in 2013. This cultivar was initially named ‘Saebong No. 10’ after examining its characteristics and productivity in summer culture from 2014 to 2016. After regional adaptability tests, ‘Daha’ was selected from ‘Saebong No. 10’ as an elite cultivar. The general characteristics of ‘Daha’ included spreading type, elliptic leaf, and vigor in growth. The fruits were conical in shape with red color. The cluster length of ‘Daha’ was 25.3 cm, which was 14.1 cm shorter than that of ‘Goha’. The number of flower clusters of ‘Daha’ was 12.3, which was 2.7 less than that of ‘Goha’. The average fruit weight of ‘Daha’ was 12.0 g, which was 3.0 g heavier than that of ‘Goha’. However, fruit quality was similar in both varieties. The marketable yield of ‘Daha’ was 45,972 kg·ha-1, which was 214% more than that of ‘Goha’ with a yield of 21,481 kg·ha-1. Therefore, Daha is a big fruit and high-yielding variety of everbearing strawberries, and high income is expected from the distribution of farms.
