“…Table (10) showed that adding bio-fertilizer increased leaf nitrogen content by 1.44% at 10 ml L -1 , compared to 0.95% at no addition. Spraying nano-organic fertilizer at 3 ml/liter increased leaf nitrogen content to 1.31%, making it the best treatment.…”

The organic biocatalyst is a mixture of residual materials from plant or animal organisms and microorganisms that resulted from long-term decomposition [9,10]. It was shown that the use of low concentrations of these stimulants sprayed on the shoots or added to the irrigation water had clear favorable effects in enhancing the vegetative development and improving the production, quantity and quality of a number of vegetable and fruit crops, including grapes [11] Biotechnology solves technical difficulties and creates biological products.…”

A French black grape cultivar was tested in a Babylon province/Al-Hamzah Al-Gharbi district private orchard using the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) three-factor factorial configuration. The first is applying biofertilizer, which includes Bacillus megaterium and Mycorrhiza glomus fungus, to the soil at two concentrations (0 and 10 ml L-1), the second is applying liquid organic fertilizer at three concentrations (0, 15, and 30 ml L-1), and the third is applying organic fertilizer via foliar spraying. Nanofluid concentrations will be 0.1 and 3 ml L-1 in 2020 and 2021. Most biofertilization vegetative growth metrics showed that excelled in the leaf area per cluster was 9.42 cm cluster-1 in both seasons, while organic nano-fertilization at 3 ml L-1 boosted most vegetative growth indicators. Most vegetative development metrics responded significantly to bidirectional research parameter interactions, the bi-interaction between organic nano-fertilizer at a concentration of 3 ml L-1 and organic fertilizer at a concentration of 30 ml L-1 significantly affected the leaf area, the total leaf area, and the leaves’ content of total chlorophyll. 10 ml L-1 biofertilizer and 30 ml L-1 organic fertilizer achieved the heist values in leaf area, total leaf area, and leaf content. The interaction between the bio fertilizer at a dosage of 10 ml L-1 and the organic nano fertilizer at a concentration of 3 ml L-1 considerably altered the content of total chlorophyll in leaves.

“…Compared to the non-adding treatment, which gave the lowest value of 19.8 cm for the binary interaction between the bio-fertilizer and the nano-organic, it gave the highest value for the cluster length average at the 10 x 3 ml L -1 level, 23.1 cm, compared to 21.0 cm for the non-adding treatment. Table (10) showed that the triple interaction of bio-fertilizer, nano-organic fertilizer, and organic fertilizer gave the highest average cluster length at 10 x 3 x 30 ml L -1 , 26.0 cm, compared to 20.1 cm for the control treatment.

A French black grape cultivar was tested in a private orchard in the Al-Hamzah Al-Gharbi region of Babylon province using the three-factor, three-replicate Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Biofertilizers like Bacillus megaterium and Mycorrhiza glomus fungus are applied to the soil at a concentration of 0 and 10 ml L-1; liquid organic fertilizer is applied to the soil at concentrations of 0, 15, and 30 ml L-1; and finally, organic fertilizer is sprayed on the leaves of the plants. The nanofluid in two different concentrations (0.1 and 3 ml L-1) during the entire year (2021). Averages were compared using the statistical program GenStat and the least significant difference (L.S.D.) test at the level of probability 0.05. The experiment included one sector (18) of the cultivar’s vines, with a number of experimental units distributed randomly in three sectors, and the number of vines was (54) vines for the cultivar. Here is a quick rundown of the most relevant findings: The results revealed that biofertilization at a concentration of 10 ml L-1 had a significant influence on most quantitative features of the yield, leading to an increase in the overall yield, which peaked at 36.2 and 38.6 kg. Vine-1., While the average number of clusters increased to 51.6 and 53.9 per vine with the application of organic nano-fertilization at a concentration of 3 ml L-1, the highest value for total yield was attained at 37.0 kg vine-1. The organic fertilization at a concentration of 30 ml L-1 had a significant effect on most of the quantitative indicators, leading to an increase in the total yield as it gave the highest value of 36.6 and 37.5 kg vine-1.

IntroductionThe increasing demand for strawberries in the United Kingdom, valued for their flavour, nutrition and economic significance, presents challenges in maintaining consistent production, especially under various biotic and abiotic stress conditions. Traditional reliance on conventional agrochemicals to meet these demands is tempered by concerns about their health and environmental impacts, paving the way for eco‐friendly alternatives, such as biostimulants. However, their efficiency in commercial table‐top systems for June‐bearing and ever‐bearing strawberries under glasshouse conditions remains underexplored.Materials and methodsThis study investigated the efficiency of two commercial biostimulants in enhancing the growth, productivity and resilience of two strawberry varieties: ‘Malling Centenary’ (June‐bearer) and ‘Malling Ace’ (ever‐bearer) strawberry cultivars in a soilless hydroponic system within an unheated glasshouse. ‘Vitalnova Prime’ (VP), an amino acid and peptide‐based biostimulant derived from yeast, was applied every 2 weeks as a foliar spray (1 mL/L), whereas ‘Vitalnova Triboost’ (VT), a microbial inoculant with live cultures, was incorporated into the medium post‐transplanting (500 g/m3).ResultsVP significantly enhanced vegetative growth in both cultivars, resulting in substantial increases in number of leaves, crowns, crown diameter and shoot biomass accumulation compared to the control. VT also effectively improved multiple growth parameters compared to the control. Both biostimulants similarly improved crown formation and shoot dry weight in ‘Malling Centenary’. In terms of yield, both VP and VT increased yield in ‘Malling Ace’; notably, VP significantly enhanced the number of marketable fruits by 55% and average fruit weight by 56% compared to the control. Additionally, both biostimulants significantly reduced the occurrence of diseased fruits in both cultivars.ConclusionThis study demonstrates that biostimulants significantly enhance the growth, yield, and resilience of strawberries in soilless cultivation systems within unheated glasshouses. These findings suggest that biostimulants offer a sustainable and promising approach to addressing the increasing global demand for high‐quality strawberries.
