Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) plants were grown hydroponically in different ratio of sawdust (Saw-100), coco soil (Coc-100) and/or pumice (Pum-100) mixtures. Leaf number doubled in plants grown in Saw-100 while runners (stolons) number increased up to 70% in plants grown in Coc-100 compared with the control treatment (Pum-100). Fruit number increased (up to 50%) in plants grown in Pum-100. Leaf stomatal conductance, photosynthetic rate and internal concentration of CO 2 differentiated according to the plant vegetative or reproductive stage and/or substrate medium. Leaf and stem fresh weight as well as leaf area was increased (up to 32, 24 and 44%, respectively) in case of Coc-100 compared with the Saw-100 or Pum-100. Plant yield was doubled when Pum-Saw (50-50) was used compared with the Saw-100, which is due to the reduced fruit number produced rather than the difference in fruit fresh weight. Substrate affected fruit quality parameters. The present findings highlight the putative use of organic medium i.e. Sawdust on top of the widely used coco soil as substrate medium in strawberry culture.

In the present work, different strategies for the utilization of an organic beekeeping waste called «slumgum» were analysed. Slumgum appears in the beeswax-rendering process. A physico-chemical characterization was carried out and the hypothesis that slumgum could be used as nutrient source and growth substrate constituent for seedling production was tested. Analyses revealed that slumgum has an important potential for fertilization: 6.10% N, 0.23% P and 0.4% K, with a total organic matter average content of 78.63%. Also, some disadvantages such as an overly acid pH and high electrical conductivity were found. Assays of seedling production were carried out for two years and lettuce and pepper were used as model crops. Treatments were performed mixing different slumgum formats [minced slumgum (MS), slumgumgypsum granules (SG) and slumgum-superphosphate granules (SC)] with peat (Pe): 25MS-75Pe (in %), 33MS-67Pe, 25SG-75Pe, 33SG-67Pe, 25SC-75Pe and 33SC-67Pe. Controls were no fertilized peat, organic and mineral commercial fertilizers. The best results for lettuce and pepper leaf area, shoot dry weight, and N percentage in leaf were obtained when treatment 25MS-75Pe was applied. Moreover for treatments 25SG-75Pe, no significant differences were observed with respect to the controls in seedbed parameters. Important reductions in emergence and seedling production were detected with SC, most probably due to their high acidity. Results suggest that MS (25MS-75Pe and 33MS-67Pe) and 25SG-75Pe offer a relevant nutritional potential and their high organic matter contents allow them to be considered as organic fertilizers.Additional key words: compost, fertilizer, granulation, organic matter, organic residues, slumgum. Resumen Caracterización de residuos de industrias apícolas para su utilización en la producción de plantelesEn este trabajo se analizaron diferentes estrategias para la utilización de un residuo orgánico de la industria apíco-la llamado «carozo», que se obtiene del proceso de extracción de cera. Se realizó una caracterización físico-química del residuo y se contrastó la hipótesis de que podría utilizarse como fuente de nutrientes y constituyente de sustratos para la producción de planteles hortícolas. Los análisis revelaron un importante potencial como fertilizante: 6,10% nitrógeno, 0,23% fósforo y 0,42% potasio, con contenido medio en materia orgánica del 78,63%. No obstante, presentó como inconvenientes un pH ácido y elevada conductividad eléctrica. Se realizaron, durante dos años, ensayos de producción de plantel eligiendo lechuga y pimiento como modelos. Los tratamientos fueron formulados mezclando distintos formatos de carozo [carozo picado (MS), gránulos yeso-carozo (SG) y gránulos superfosfato-carozo (SC)] con turba (Pe): 25MS-75Pe (en %), 33MS-67Pe, 25SG-75Pe, 33SG-67Pe, 25SC-75Pe y 33SC-67Pe. Los controles fueron turba sin fertilizar y dos fertilizantes, orgánico y mineral, comerciales. Los mejores resultados en ambos cultivos para área foliar, peso seco de parte aérea y porcentaje de nitróge...
