Effects of several cultivars`: Mulch and fertilizer applications on plant growth and development criteria and plant`s nutrition elements uptake in organic strawberry plantation in Nevşehir city

Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of different mulch types' (black plastic, textile and sawdust) and fertilizer applications (Ekoflora, Mog, Bio-one, Ferbanat L and Natural Bioplasma) effect in strawberry (Fragaria vesca L.) cultivars ('Monterey', 'Albion', 'Aromas', 'Camarosa' and 'Sweet Charlie'). The effects of applications on plant nutrient concentrations (N, P, K, Ca, Mg and Fe) and plant growth and development criteria (plant height, steam diameter, number of leaf and root height) were determined. Fertilizer material and cultivars caused significant differences in the plant growth and development of five strawberry cultivars, while mulch materials' effects found only on number of leaf and root height. Highest values in terms of plant growth and development criteria were found in 'Camarosa' cultivar and black plastic and textile mulch. The most superior cultivar in terms of plant's nutrition elements uptake was 'Camarosa'. Black plastic and textile mulch were found more advantageous compared to sawdust mulch. Differences in the plant growth and development criteria and plant's nutrition elements uptake obtained from fertilizer applications were noted.

Effect of Municipal Solid Waste Compost on Yield, Plant Growth and Nutrient Elements in Strawberry Cultivation

“…Ornelas-Paz [70] reported that the highest TSS value was 9.00% from RS6. Şener and Türemiş [58] reported that the highest TSS value of 9.05% was obtained from Albion. The TSS values obtained from the above studies are compatible with the TSS values obtained from our study.…”

“…Ornelas-Paz [70], in his study examining the ripening stages of the organically grown Albion strawberry variety, reported that the highest TSS value was 3.80% from the RS6. Şener and Türemiş [58] reported that the highest pH value was 3.83% from Camaroza and 3.65% from Alnion. Karaca and Pırlak [65] reported that the highest pH value was obtained from 3.83% Albion.…”

“…Regarding the fruit weight in strawberry cultivation, Shaw and Larson [38], who found the Albion variety, reported that the fruit weight was 33.00 g in the patent registration document. Şener and Türemiş [58] reported 18.03 g of Albion fruit weight in their study, where they used organic fertilizers in strawberry cultivation. Kılıc et al [59] reported an Albion fruit weight of 18.81 g in vermicompost in organic fertilizer applications in strawberry cultivation.…”

“…Regarding fruit yield per plant, Şener and Türemiş [58] reported the fruit yield per plant as 645.80 g in Albion. Çolak et al [62] examined the effect of bees on pollination and pollination in strawberries and reported the fruit yield per plant as 540.00 g in Albion.…”

“…One of them is by doing fertilization. Fertilization is the most important factor in growth and development until the result of production [23]. He also states that fertilizing using organic fertilizer is as important as fertilizing by using inorganic fertilizer for plant growth process.…”
