In an effort to develop an alternative to methyl bromide-dependant strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) field production in north-central Florida, we evaluated various soilless substrates, growing containers, plug transplants, plant densities, cultivars, and biological control strategies in a passively ventilated high-roof greenhouse near Gainesville, Florida. The type of soilless media used ...

Soilless cultivation is extensively used in the greenhouse industry. Recently, hydroponic of capia pepper has become popular among growers. Capia harvested at red maturity stage, and intensive mineral fertilizers are usually for soilless cultivation. This study was performed a during spring under Mediterranean climatic conditions. The effects bacteria mycorrhiza on plant growth, yield, fruit qu...

to determine the effect of pot level and nutrient leaching on albinism disorder in strawberry (fragaria ananassa duch cv `camaroso`) cultivated in perlite substrate an experiment was conducted in 2006. yield was determined three times (january-february, march-april and may-june). the results indicated that plants located in an upper position showed more albinism (40.42%) which could be related ...
