The objective of the present study is to investigate the impact of spraying boric acid on vegetative and reproductive growth of ‘Camarosa’ strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.). The strawberry plants were sprayed with Boric acid at 0 (control), 50 and 100 mg L-1 at 30 days after planting. In general, results indicated that spraying plants with boric acid had a significant effect on yield, frui...

Post-harvest treatments of fruits and vegetables can help to reduce the attack microorganisms especially presence pathogenic microorganisms. Alkaline water solutions were used control growth Botrytis cinerea, Rhizopus stolonifer, Salmonella spp. Escherichia coli in strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa). Strawberries inoculated with afterwards immersed alkaline pH 11, 12 13. In vitro microbiological ...

Bare root transplants of strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch. cv. ‘Selva’) were transferred to nutrient solutions with or without iron (Fe). After six weeks of growth, plants in the solution without Fe were chlorotic and had morphological changes in roots typical of Fe deficiency. At this point, four treatments were imposed with three replicates (plants) each: plants always grown without Fe (F...
