Cell size in trays for the production of strawberry plug transplants

Abstract: -The objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of cell sizes used for strawberry plug production in trays compared to bare root transplants, regarding initial plant size, harvest timing, and total strawberry fruit yield. Plug transplants were produced from runner tips rooted in trays with cell sizes of 26.5, 50, 100 and 150 cm 3 filled with Plantmax HA organic substrate. Bare root transplants (control) were produced in a closed soilless system using sand as substrate. A randomized block design was u… Show more

“…A obtenção de mudas de morangueiro vigorosas em recipientes de maior volume de substrato foi verificada, também, por outros autores (BISH et al, 2002;GIMÉNEZ et al, 2009;HUANG et al, 2011). Estes estudos têm relatado que o tamanho da célula ou o volume do recipiente podem causar restrições ao crescimento radicular.…”

“…A produção de mudas em alvéolos com volumes reduzidos, apesar de mais econômica do ponto de vista do uso de substrato e espaço físico no ambiente de crescimento, pode ser prejudicial à produção pois, em alvéolos com pequeno volume, o espaço físico e a quantidade de substrato podem ser insuficientes para o crescimento adequado do sistema radicular, podendo limitar a expressão do potencial genético das cultivares (GIMÉNEZ et al, 2009). A provável causa é devido à maior concentração de raízes em alvéolos menores, com maior demanda de oxigênio e de renovação de CO 2 .…”

“…A plant density of 1 plant m -2 was used (Giménez et al, 2008a;2008b). Water and nutrients were daily delivered by fertigation, using the nutrient solution adjusted by Giménez et al, (2008b) th , 2008 and screened in three crown diameter classes: from 2.0 to 3.9 mm (class 1); 4.0 to 5.5 mm (class 2) and 5.6 to 7.0 mm (class 3) Giménez et al, 2009). Runner tips of different classes were planted in separate rooting beds filled with the commercial substrate to the base of Vermiculite plus pines bark, in a density of 562 runners m -2 .…”

“…In these plants, larger crowns indicate higher vigor and faster initial growth, which allows earlier and higher fruit yield (Bish et al, 2002;Giménez et al, 2009). Runner tips in the crown diameter range between 2 and 5 mm have been considered for production of plug transplants of high vigor (Durner et al, 2002).…”

“…According to H o c h m u t h et al [3], not only less water is required to establish plug strawberry plants than bare-root plants, but also they grow and form flowers more rapidly. Additionally, plants propagated from plugs give higher early fruit yield [15,16] and also picking costs are reduced up to 40%, because more fruit can be harvested per unit time [9].…”
