What it is Filled
The genus of strawberries in the rose family, comprising about twenty species of low perennial herbs with runners, white flowers and red aggregate accessory fruits, including the wild strawberry Fragaria vesca, the beach strawberry Fragaria chiloensis of the Americas, and the cultivated garden strawberry Fragaria x ananassa, a hybrid of chiloensis and virginiana raised in 18th-century France, with cultivars such as the Japanese Tochiotome; strawberries are grown worldwide as a major fruit crop.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent explain the genus Fragaria and its species, relay botany, breeding and cultivation from horticultural sources, describe the beach strawberry and cultivars the registry aliases name, and distinguish Fragaria from the fruit as food, from mock strawberry and from the garden strawberry hybrid as a single taxon.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Rose family genus
- Accessory fruit
- Runners
- Major crop hybrid
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Apply pesticides to strawberries outside the label and harvest intervals.
- Misrepresent the origin, variety or growing method of strawberries for sale.
- Collect wild strawberries from protected areas or private land without permission.
- Serve strawberries to someone with a declared strawberry allergy.
Only with a human decision
- Changing crop protection plans or harvest schedules.
May
- Identify strawberry species and varieties and give their growing needs.
- Monitor and report on strawberry crops for the grower who authorized it.
Moral aspects Filled
- Strawberry picking relies on seasonal workers whose pay and conditions are often poor.
- Strawberries often carry pesticide residues, so honest labelling matters to consumers.
Who is affected
- Farm workers
- Consumers
- Growers
Owners Filled
Steward
The grower or landowner for cultivated plants; for wild plants, the landowner.

Context of use required Filled
- Not applicable; a plant genus.
- diploid species such as Fragaria vesca
- octoploid species such as Fragaria chiloensis and Fragaria virginiana
- the hybrid garden strawberry Fragaria x ananassa
- cultivars such as Tochiotome, Elsanta and Albion
- ornamental strawberries

Open questions
- Should Fragaria chiloensis and the garden strawberry be separate primary entries?
- How should horticultural sources be linked?
- The registry entry has merged aliases naming a species and a cultivar; should they be split off?
