Soilless culture (hydroponic) and timely supply of plants’ essential nutrients will increase their quantitative and qualitative performance. To assess the impact of N, K and Mg on yield and fruit quality of strawberry (Fragaria×ananasa cv. Sun Rise) an experiment was performed which included control treatment (no fertilizer application), two levels of urea (100 and 200 mg/L per pot), two levels...

Kerman province is the largest producer of greenhouse cucumber and tomato in Iran. This paper calculates the interest rate of return (IRR) and return period of investment (RPI) in vegetable, cut flowers and strawberry in greenhouse and compares them with vegetable grown outdoors. To do the study, a random sample of 309 farmers was selected in the province of Kerman in 2005. Results showed that ...

Because of increasing trend in salinization of water sources, and inevitable using non-traditional water, a research was planned to determine the tolerance range of strawberry cv. Paros to salinity and possible role of salicylic acid (SA) in ameliorating its adverse effect on plant growth. In this research, effect of different salinity levels (0, 20 and 40 mM in nutrient solution) and SA (0, 10...

Silicon is one of the beneficial nutrient elements for the most of the plants. This element improve the growth and yield of plants. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of foliar spray and root application of Micro- and Nano-SiO2 on concentration of macro- and micro elements and content of silicon in canopy of strawberry. Strawberry plants in the 4-5 leaves growth stage and two weeks...
