“…There are contradictory results reported on the increase of fruit firmness after application of calcium fertiliser. A positive effect was reported by Na Phun et al (1995) and Wójcik and Lewandowski (2003), whereas a negative effect was reported by Makus and Morris (1994) and Ericik et al (1998). In our trial, calcium fertilisation increased fruit firmness only for 'Rumba'.…”

“…K (Clarkson and Hanson, 1980). The positive effect of calcium fertilisers on strawberry firmness, rot resistance, and storage quality is known (Cheour et al, 1990(Cheour et al, ., 1991Wójcik and Lewandowski, 2003). However, a positive effect of calcium has not been observed in all cases (Makus and Morris, 1994;Erincik et al, 1998;Lanauskas et al, 2006).…”

Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duchense ex Rozier) is an important horticultural crop grown in Latvia. The aim of this research was to evaluate some newly introduced strawberry cultivars and perspective hybrids and to evaluate the efficiency of natural calcite leaf fertiliser (Megagreen®) on strawberry fruit quality and spread of pests and diseases. The trial was established in 2012 at Pûre, Tukums Municipality. Cultivars ‘Saint Pierre’, ‘Annapolis’, ’Sonata’, ‘Chambly’, ‘Elegance’, ‘Rumba’, ‘Honeoye’, ‘Senga Sengana’ and two hybrids: 35-1 and 39-1 were included in the investigation. Calcite fertiliser was applied four times per season in 2013 and 2014 by spraying on leaves in concentration 0.5%. Strawberries were grown on two row beds with black plastic mulch and drip irrigation. The evaluation was done for two seasons. Most of the evaluated newly introduced cultivars and hybrids had better fruit quality and resistance to diseases than control cultivars. Cultivars ‘Annapolis’, ’Rumba’, ‘Sonata’, ‘Elegance’, and 39-1 were selected as the most promising related to fruit quality and resistance. The application of calcite fertiliser (Megagreen®) on leaves had no statistically significant effect on strawberry fruit quality and resistance.

“…A aplicação foliar de boro não alterou a acidez titulável quando da ausência de aplicação de boro no solo, resultando em teor médio de 0,99%, valor próximo ao encontrado por WÓJCIK & LEWANDOWSKI (2003) e SINGH et al (2007. No tratamento em que somente se aplicou boro no solo, houve redução no teor da acidez titulável, mas este teor elevou-se linearmente com as aplicações das dosagens foliares.…”

“…Observa-se que a aplicação de boro estimulou o morangueiro a produzir mais polissacarídeo resultando em aumento na fi rmeza das frutas (Figura 2C), porém com baixos teores de açúcares das frutas, possivelmente pela redução na produção de mono e dissacarídeos, o que pode ser considerada como uma terceira hipótese da redução do teor de sólidos solúveis das frutas (Figura 2A). Durante a maturação das frutas, a fi rmeza é um dos fatores que determina a qualidade do morango e sua vida pós-colheita (CANTILLANO et al, 2003), assim, a aplicação foliar no início do fl orescimento e trinta dias após é uma boa estratégia para elevar a fi rmeza das frutas, as quais se tornam mais resistentes ao transporte, além de serem menos suscetível à incidência do fungo Botrytis cinerea na pré e pós-colheita (WÓJCIK & LEWANDOWSKI, 2003), reduzindo as perdas no campo e nos supermercados.…”
