“…The highest TSS content in the strawberries was 10.2% (Table 9). It was lower than the values noted in the experiments conducted by Wysocki et al [50] (13.23%) and Mikiciuk et al [45] (12.37%). The application of humic acids had a positive effect on the content of the extract in strawberries.…”

Humic acids are plant biostimulants, which can be used in horticulture as an effective and relatively inexpensive alternative to chemical means of production. The aim of the study was to assess how the fertiliser containing humic acids affected the growth, yield, and quality of strawberry fruits. In 2021, an experiment was conducted on two-year-old strawberry bushes (Fragaria× ananassa (Duchesne ex Weston) Duchesne ex Rozier) of the ‘Rumba’ cultivar growing on a horticultural farm in northern Wielkopolska, Poland. During the growing season, the soil was fertilized by the mineral fertilization and the bushes were sprayed two, three, or four times with the Humi Brown Gold fertiliser containing humic acids. In the experiment, the soil enzymatic activity, biometric parameters of strawberry leaves, fruit yield and fruit quality was assessed. It was determined that, in the experimental treatments where foliar fertilisation had been applied, the activities of proteases and dehydrogenases as well as soil respiration increased by more than double and were significantly higher than in the variants where soil fertilisers had been applied. The strawberry bushes treated with the humic acids fertiliser developed more than 60% larger surface leaves, bloomed more intensively and gave a higher yield. Fruits with significantly higher firmness were harvested from such bushes, with higher weight and extract content than those where the soil fertiliser had been applied. The difference was several tens of percent. This leads to the conclusion that the foliar application of humic acids could be an effective alternative to mineral fertilisation in strawberry plantations.

“…Meanwhile, anthocyanin content significantly increased in fruits grown in the net house with cocopeat treated soil (30.80 mg 100 g -1 ). Increased content of anthocyanins was observed in fruits from plants grown on the peat-coconut substrate (Wysocki et al, 2017). This study showed the positive influence of shade on the total anthocyanin content of the strawberry.…”

Partial controls of the microclimatic conditions have a major influence on plant growth and productivity. Moreover, plant growth is largely dependent on the physicochemical properties of the growing media. The purpose of this study was to see how different growing media and shade houses affected strawberry plant growth, yield, and quality attributes. The experimental treatments include net house, UV poly shade house, and open field (control) conditions; and three different growing media i.e., 50% soil + 50% cowdung, 50% soil + 50% vermicompost, and 50% soil + 50% cocopeat were studied. According to the findings, strawberries grown in a net house with cocopeat substrate had the highest chlorophyll content (SPAD value) (46.1), fruit yield (289.16 g plant-1), total soluble solid (8.0%), reducing sugar (8.75 mg g-1) and total anthocyanin (30.80 mg 100 g-1). In contrast, fruits grown under UV poly shed with cocopeat substrate exhibited increased plant height (20.33 cm) and ascorbic acid (46.94 mg 100 g-1). Vermicompost based growing media showed no satisfactory improvement in the reproductive growth characteristics of strawberry plants. Therefore, cocopeat based growing media and net house shade may be recommended to obtain better strawberry yield and quality.

“…It is clear that the cultivation substrate has a significant impact on both the appearance and the intrinsic quality of the fruit. The analyses of Wysocki et al also indicated that the cultivation substrate has a direct impact on the quality of the fruit, and a peat-coconut (50:50, v / v ) substrate yielded higher sugar, acid, polyphenol, and anthocyanin contents of strawberry fruit [ 36 ].…”

With improving living standards, traditional blueberry planting modes cannot meet commercial demands, and blueberry cultivation with soilless substrate has become a popular solution in the blueberry industry. In this study, different soilless substrate treatments were found to markedly influence fruit appearance and intrinsic quality. The fruit in the 50:50 peat/pine bark (v/v) (FPB) treatment group had the maximum single fruit weight, largest vertical diameter, and brightest color, as well as the highest 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) value, solid-acid ratio and anthocyanin content. The fruit in the 50:50 pine bark/rice husk (v/v) (FBR) treatment group had the highest total phenol and flavonoid levels, largest drip loss value, and lowest total pectin content and firmness value. Metabolomic analysis showed that flavonoid, carbohydrate, and carbohydrate conjugate, and amino acid, peptide, and analog levels were significantly different between groups. Fruit in the FPB group had the highest sucrose, D-fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, salidroside, tectorigenin, naringenin chalcone, trifolirhizin, and galangin contents. The increase in the relative expression of phenylalanine (Phe) promoted the synthesis of fruit polyphenols in the FBR group. Our results provide new insights into the effects of different substrates on the quality of blueberries and a reference for the soilless substrate cultivation of blueberries.
