“…Such results are similar to those published by Turner (1963) and Tehranifar and Battey (1997) but with other cultivar and different concentration of GA3. In this regard, it could be suggested that the cultivars varied in its response to GA. Also, the results are in agreement with those of Cain et al (1983) who found that ethephon at 100 ppm increased the number of fruits in Centennial cultivar.…”

“…The results of GA3 in the present study are in agreement with those of Singh et al (1960) and Lopez-Galarza et al (1989), while these results are not agreement with those of Okasha et al (1985) and Paroussi et al (2002). In addition, the current results are in harmony with those obtained by Sponagle (1973 and1974) and Cain et al (1983) upon ethrel, but these results are not in accordance with those obtained by Sachs andIszak (1974) upon ethephon andMiura et al (1995) upon uniconazole.…”

“…Choma and Himelrick (1982) found that application of ethephon at 500 and 1000 ppm decreased petiole length. Cain et al (1983) found that strawberry cultivars vary in their response to ethephon. Fruit yield and number were increased in cv.…”

This experiment was carried out during 2002/2003 and 2003/2004 seasons at the Experimental Farm of the Strawberry and Non Traditional Crops Improvement Center at El-Nubaria, Behira Governorate. This work aimed to study the effect of ethrel {ethephon} (50, 100, 250 ppm), GA3 (10, 30, 50 ppm) and uniconazole (10, 15, 20 ppm) on strawberry plant growth characters (plant, leaf petiole and crown length, leaf area and plant dry matter %), chemical contents of the plants, number of flowers and fruits, monthly yield, total yield and fruit quality (fruit weight, TSS, total sugars and ascorbic acid content). The results indicated that GA3 application increased plant, petiole and crown length as well as plant dry matter % in most treatments. Growth regulators did not reflect significant differences concerning leaf area as compared to the control in most cases. GA3, ethrel and uniconazole increased total carbohydrate percentage in the foliage of strawberry plants while they did not affect nitrogen content. GA3 at 10 ppm or ethrel at 250 ppm increased number of flowers and fruits as well as the monthly and total yield. TSS was not affected by growth regulators, while untreated plants recorded the highest values of average fruit weight, total sugars and ascorbic acid content.
