Double Sigmoid Growth Curve of Strawberry Fruit

High Plant Growth Temperatures Increase Antioxidant Capacities in Strawberry Fruit

The influence of four day/night growing temperature combinations (18/12, 25/12, 25/22, 30/22 C) on phenolic acid, flavonol, and anthocyanin content and their antioxidant activities against peroxyl radicals (ROO ), superoxide radicals (O2 ), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hydroxyl radicals (OH ), and singlet oxygen (O2,) in fruit juice of ‘Earliglow’ and ‘Kent’ strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) ...

The effect of fruit competition and leaf area on fruit size of strawberry

Improving growth, yield and fruit quality of strawberry by foliar and soil drench applications of humic acid

Organic compounds including seaweed extract were applied in organic production system and sustainable agriculture. One of these compounds is humic acid that was used widely in research and commercial programs. Humic acid is an organic acid obtained from humus and other natural resources with hormonal effects and improving nutrient absorption, increasing root and shoot biomass. In order to inves...

Biocontrol of Botrytis Cinerea on Strawberry Fruit by Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria

In the present study, a total of 186 bacterial strains isolated from various soil sources and plant species from Eastern Anatolia region in Turkey were evaluated for their ability to suppress gray mold (Botrytis cinerea Pers. ex Fr.) occurred on strawberry cv. Fern. Among 186 bacterial strains, 36 were found effective to inhibit of development B. cinerea under in vitro conditions, and thirteen ...

Temperatures after bloom affect plant growth and fruit quality of strawberry

The in ̄uence of four day/night temperature combinations (18/12, 25/12, 25/22, 30/22) on plant growth and fruit quality of `Earliglow' and `Kent' strawberry (Fragaria ananassa Duch.) were studied. The optimum day/night temperatures for leaf and petiole growth was 25/128C, while for roots and fruits it was at 18/128C. For the growth of the whole plant, 25/128C was also the optimum temperature.
