Effect of media culture, nano and normal micronutrients on some flowers and yield traits of Strawberry

Cracking fruit happens when the fruit is still developing and is a physiological condition. It lowers the fruit’s quality and marketability, which in turn causes huge economic losses and a possible reduction in production of 70%. Many factors, including heredity, physiology, and the environment, affect whether or not fruit cracks. Fruits can develop surface cracks due to uneven internal growth, which is exacerbated by unfavourable environmental factors including heavy rainfall and high temperatures. When it comes to transporting and storing fruit, the peel is crucial for its resistance to cracking.

“…[8] When using cow and poultry manure at a percentage of (10%) for each, as well as a mixture of both organic fertilizers at a ratio of (1:1) in the growth of Strawberry, the "Hapil" variety, the poultry medium alone gave the highest percentage of nitrogen in the leaves, amounting to (2.34%), It also gave the highest values for the characteristics (number of leaves, leaf area, and number of crowns), which were successively (36.2 leaf plant -1 , 16.9 cm 2 plant -1 and 4.7 crown plant -1 ). Strawberry is one of the plants with a high need for fertilization, and this is due to the fact that it gives an abundant crop of fruits in relation to its small size, therefore, the importance of foliar fertilization appears to compensate for the deficiency of some essential elements and nutrients, especially microelements, which contribute to increasing the efficiency of plants in producing fruits with high specifications quality and morphology [9,10]. The readiness of the microelements is low in alkaline soils, such as the Iraqi soil, as the availability of them for absorption by the plant is low, although the total concentrations of these elements in most soils are high, sometimes they are exposed to some problems, including adsorption and deposition, so they are replaced by foliar nutrient [10,11].…”

He was explained [12] that the increase in the content of leaves of calcium and boron leads to the strengthening of the cell walls, and this discourages infection with fungi, especially grey mould.…”

This study was conducted at the research station of the College of Agriculture - University of Anbar during the agricultural season 2021 to study the effect of adding types of organic fertilizer (without addition, poultry manure, manufactured organic fertilizer) which are symbolized by (M0, M1, M2) respectively. The combination of the recommendation and half of the recommendation with spraying with a some elements that contains calcium, boron, zinc, magnesium, amino acids and molybdenum, and it was at 6 levels (T1 fertilizer recommendation without spraying, T2 fertilizer recommendation with growth stimulator spray 2.5 g L-1, T3 fertilizer recommendation with a spray of 5 g L−1, T4 is half recommended without spraying, T5 half recommended with spraying 2.5 g L−1 and T6 half recommended with spraying 5 g L−1) on some vegetative growth and yield characteristics of strawberry. The results showed that the addition of organic fertilizer and poultry manure gave the highest value in the number of leaves (80.82leaf plant−1), the number of crowns (7.328 crown plant−1), the leaf area (88.81 dm2 plant−1), and the leaf content of chlorophyll (333.69 mg 100 g weight fresh-1) and the weight of the fruit is (41.47 g fruit −1) and the total yield is (712.17 g plant −1).

“…The consumption of strawberries in Iraq is relatively low, and most of the strawberries consumed in Iraq are imported from neighboring countries [4]. Strawberry plants have a shallow and medium-spreading root system [5], [6]. Their fruits have a high nutritional and therapeutic value due to their content of nutrients, fiber, vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates, and phenolic compounds, including anthocyanins.…”

2023

The investigation was carried out within a controlled environment of a plastic greenhouse situated at two distinct geographical sites. The initial site was situated in the primary research station affiliated with the College of Agriculture, University of Anbar. During the 2022-2023 growing season, the second experimental site was established in Dolab village. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of applying seaweed extract, amino acid (arginine), and growth regulator (Brassinolide) on the flowering and yield of Albion strawberry saplings. The experiment was conducted under controlled environmental conditions. Three factors were studied during the experiment, including (spraying with seaweed extract at concentrations of 2 and 4 ml L-1), (spraying with amino acid “arginine” at concentrations of 100 and 200 mg L-1), and (spraying with growth regulator “Brassinolide” at concentrations of 0.05 and 0.10 mg L-1), in addition to the control treatment of spraying with distilled water only for the three factors. A factorial experiment with three factors was conducted according to the randomized complete block design (RCBD). The experiment consisted of 27 treatments distributed over three blocks, with five plants per experimental unit. The total number of plants used in the experiment was 405 plants per site. Spraying with seaweed extract had a significant effect on all the flowering and yield traits studied. The concentration of 4 ml L-1 contributed to the best results for the traits (Number of flowers, Percentage of flowers set, Number of fruits, fruit weight, and total yield plant-1). The values were (30.3 and 28.3 flowers plant-1, 77.3 and 78.0%, 21.5 and 20.9 fruits plant-1, 20.3 and 18.4 g, 436.22 and 385.93 g plant-1) for the two sites, respectively. On the other hand, the treatments of spraying with the amino acid (arginine) had a significant effect and the treatment of 200 mg L-1 achieved the highest values for the traits (number of flowers, percentage of flowers set, number of fruits, and total yield plant-1) at both sites. The values were (29.1 and 25.7 flowers plant-1, 71.8 and 72.3%, 20.8 and 19.3 fruits plant-1, 18.5 g, 410.27 and 357.99 g plant-1) for the two sites, respectively. The treatment of 100 mg L- 1 achieved the best results for the trait (fruit weight) at the first site and was (19.9 g). Spraying with the growth regulator (brassinolide) at a concentration of 0.10 mg L-1 achieved the highest values for the traits (number of flowers, percentage of flowers set, number of fruits, fruit weight, and total yield plant-1). The values were (27.8 and 27.1 flower plant-1, 71.0 and 71.6%, 20.2 and 20.0 fruit plant-1, 20.1 and 18.2 g, 406.90 and 365.30 g plant-1). The treatment of spraying with seaweed extract (4 ml L-1) showed the best results in reducing the percentage of deformed fruits and reached (13.84 and 13.43%) at both sites, respectively. On the other hand, spraying with the amino acid at a concentration of 200 mg L-1 at the first site achieved the lowest percentage of 14.51%. The spraying with the amino acid at the second site and the growth regulator at both sites had no significant effect on this trait.
