-The objective of this work was to evaluate yield and average fruit weight of strawberry cultivars Albion, Camarosa, Festival and Oso Grande, in two closed hydroponic systems (gutters and grow bags), using coconut fibre as substrate. The experimental design was of randomised blocks, divided into strips, with five replications. The hydroponic systems did not differ significantly as to yield, with advantages, such as savings in water and fertilizer and reduced environmental impact, over open systems. The most productive cultivar was Festival, followed by Oso Grande, with average yields of 6.99 kg m -2 and 5.56 kg m -2 respectively. The cultivars with the greatest fruit weight were Oso Grande and Albion, having averages of 11.8 and 11.1 g respectively, with the former being significantly superior to the latter. The highest yield (7.4 kg m -2 ) was obtained from the cultivar Festival under the gutter system. The Ibiapaba region has conditions which are favourable to strawberry production in relation to precocity (harvesting starts in the 6th week of growth) and production continues throughout the year; however there is a need to test new cultivars and to improve the cultivation techniques with an aim to producing larger-sized fruit.
Avaliou-se a produtividade e a eficiência de utilização da água do morangueiro cultivado em dois tipos de sistemas hidropônicos fechados, na serra da Ibiapaba-CE. Os tratamentos foram constituídos dos sistemas de cultivo hidropônicos fechados em calhas e em sacos de cultivo, contendo substrato de fibra de coco e duas cultivares de morango (Festival e Oso Grande). O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados, com os tratamentos de sistemas de cultivo arranjados em faixas e cinco repetições. Os sistemas de cultivo hidropônicos em calhas e em sacos apresentaram produtividades semelhantes (6425 g m-2 e 6125 g m-2 , respectivamente). Os maiores valores de produtividade e de eficiência de utilização da água foram obtidos com a cv. Festival, no sistema de cultivo em calhas (7405 g m-2 e 12,7 g L-1 , respectivamente).
