The interactive effects of fertilizer and water stress on plant growth, leaf gas exchange and nutrient uptake on strawberry (<i>Fragaria x ananassa</i>, Duch)

&lt;abstract&gt; &lt;p&gt;Strawberry (&lt;italic&gt;Fragaria x ananassa&lt;/italic&gt; Duch) has a large number of nutrients, which are useful for human health. In Indonesia, water stress is one the climate changes that affect growth and quality strawberry. Therefore, fast recovery can be crucial to adjusting crops stress. Additional fertilizers alleviate negative impact The experiment was carried out determine best fertilizer sources growth, leaf gas exchange, nutrient uptake strawberry under water-stressed conditions in April 2019–August 2019. arranged factorial randomized completely block design (RCBD) with three replications four (P1 = without fertilizer, P2 92:90:90 kg/ha Nitrogen:Phosphorus:Potassium (NPK) P3 20 goat dung P4 46:45:45 NPK + 10 fertilizer) levels (W1 daily irrigation 100% field capacity (FC); W2 2 days interval (Ⅱ) 75% FC; W3 6 Ⅱ FC). It observed interaction different had significant effect on all parameters except total sugar fruits. results indicate plant exchange decreased whereas proline, sugar, use efficiency (WUE) enhanced. maximum value height, leaves number, shoot-root fresh weight, dry photosynthesis rate, chlorophyll content, nitrogen content phosphorus were obtained from application at FC. Application increased conditions. Plants not fertilized lowest compared those fertilizers.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/abstract&gt;
