abstract silicon (si) is considered one of the beneficial elements for plant, however recent studies show that si plays an important role in plant resistance to environmental stresses , like salinity. an experiment was conducted to study the effect of si and nacl salinity on the growth, yield and fruit quality of strawberry (fragaria × ananassa duch) cv “selva” was grown hydroponically in the c...

In order to study effect of salicylic acid and calcium foliar application on growth, yield and yield components of strawberry plants as a factorial in completely randomized experimental design with four replications. This factors included of salicylic acid in 3 levels (0.25, 0.5 and 0.75 mM) and calcium in 2 levels (2.5 and 5 mM) spray on strawberry. Results showed that salicylic acid (0.25 mM)...

Microplot and small field-plot experiments were conducted to determine the effects of Pratylenchus penetrans on strawberry yield over several seasons and to evaluate the effects of nematode control on strawberry vigor and yield. Pratylenchus penetrans alone or in combination with the black root rot pathogen, Rhizoctonia fragariae, reduced strawberry yield in microplots over time. There were no ...

We investigated if elevated CO(2) could alleviate the negative effect of high temperature on fruit yield of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch. cv. Toyonoka) at different levels of nitrogen and also tested the combined effects of CO(2), temperature and nitrogen on fruit quality of plants cultivated in controlled growth chambers. Results show that elevated CO(2) and high temperature caused a f...

eight strawberry cultivars (paros, queen elisa, pajaro, camarosa, gaviota, selva, mrak and kurdistan as local cultivar) were evaluated to select the best cultivar based on quantitative yield production in kurdistan province condition. an experiment was performed in a randomized complete block design with three replications during 2008- 2010 in grizeh research station (sanandaj). eleven morpholo...

Comparative studies have usually shown higher yields in conventional cropping systems (CCS) than in organic cropping systems (OCS). By utilizing a long-term field experiment on silt soil with 18 years of cropping history (1982–1999), including three OCSs and one CCS, we studied if this is true also for strawberry. The strawberry experiment was conducted in 2000–2002. The experiment had one CCS ...

this study was conducted during 2008-2009 to investigate the influence of different organic nutrient combinations on yields and quality of strawberry cv. kurdistan in iran. the experiment comprised of five organic nutrient treatment combinations including the recommended dose of n, p and k through chemical fertilizer as control. treatment n2 (manure+azotobacter+ woodash+phosphorus solubilizing ...

the present research was carried out under hydroponic culture to evaluate the interaction between salicylic acid (sa), nickel (ni) on vegetative and reproductive growth of strawberry plants as a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design. well-rooted daughter plants of pajaro cultivar, were potted in 3 l plastic pots and were sprayed with sa at concentrations of 0, 1, 2 and 3 mm and...

abstract low water holding capacity of soilless substrates increases water stress and waste of nutrient solution. irrigation time management can reduce such problems. in this research, responses of hydroponically cultured greenhouse strawberries were evaluated under different irrigation schedules. in first step, plant daily water need was estimated and then delivered to plants through two metho...
