Plug transplants were produced from runner tips rooted in trays with cell sizes of 26.5, 50, 100 and 150 cm3 filled with Plantmax HA organic substrate. Bare root transplants (control) were produced in a closed soilless system using sand as substrate. A randomized block design was used, with four replicates with 16 plants per plot. Bare root transplants and plug transplants from 100-cm3 cells had larger crown and higher leaf and root dry mass. Early fruit yield was higher in plants propagated from plugs than in those propagated from bare root transplants. Spring and total fruit yield did not differ among treatments, with an average yield of 435 and 874 g per plant, respectively. Earlier strawberry fruit yield was obtained by using plug transplants, even from trays with small cells of 26.5 or 50 cm3.  aFragaria ananassa  aPlant propagation  aPropagação vegetativa  aFragaria anamassa  aPlantio de raiz nua  aViveiro de planta1 aANDRIOLO, J.
