“…These results are in harmony with the findings of Hikosaka et al (2014). However, DFT A-shape structure allow availability of light resulted in higher photosynthetic rate than strawberry plants cultivated in traditional soil (Sharma and Godara, 2019). On the other hand, the increment of photosynthetic pigments levels in the leaves of the solid substrate cultivated plants could be attributed to the availability of some nutrients, particularly magnesium and iron.…”

This research was carried out to investigate the effect of two soilless culture systems, i.e., solid substrates mixture as an open system and hydroponic (DFT technique) as a closed system on the vegetative growth, leaf anatomy and fruits yield and quality in comparison with traditional soil culture system during 2017 and 2018 seasons. The growth of strawberry plants cv. Festival cultivated in both applied culture systems was significantly enhanced in comparison with the traditional soil cultivated plants (control). Significant increases in the fresh and dry weights of root and shoots, root size, number of leaves and total leaves area/ plant were attained by the applied soilless culture systems, whereas a significant reduction in roots/shoots ratio was occurred. In addition, both applied soil alternative media caused a significant increase in the leaf content of photosynthetic pigments, nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, calcium, magnesium and crude protein compared with the control. Anatomically, the applied alternative media led to obvious increases in the thickness of mid vein, length and width of main vascular bundle, thickness of phloem and xylem tissues, number of xylem vessels/bundle and thickness of lamina and its comprising tissues (upper and lower epidermis and mesophyll tissue). Moreover, the fruit yield/plant and fruit characteristics namely fresh and dry weight, dry matter/fruit were significantly improved as affected by the applied soilless culture systems compared to the control. Furthermore, a significant increase occurred in the concentrations of N, P, K, Ca, M, crude protein; reducing, nonreducing and total soluble sugars and vitamin C contents as well as Total Soluble Solids (TSS) estimated in the marketable fruits of strawberry plants cultivated in the two soilless culture systems (solid substrates mixture and hydroponic system), while, the titratable acidity % wasn't significantly affected. these advantageous effects on different studied growth, chemical anatomical and fruit yield and quality were most pronounced in case of the solid substrate cultivated plants followed by the hydroponically plants cultivated. These findings, therefore, strongly recommend the use of the applied soil alternative media as effective, safe and eco-friendly agricultural practices in the cultivation of strawberries and other vegetables to improve their growth, productivity and sanitary quality.

“…Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) is a widely distributed crop in the world due to its genotypic diversity, highly heterozygous nature, and wide range of environmental adaptations [1,2]. Strawberry is a favored food due to its nutraceutical properties and antioxidant effects.…”

Efficacy of Four In Vitro Fungicides for Control of Wilting of Strawberry Crops in Puebla-Mexico

et al. 2022

Strawberry wilt is an established disease of strawberry crops caused by fungus Fusarium solani. In Mexico, strawberry cultivation represents an important productive activity for several rural areas; however, wilt disease affects producers economically. The objectives of this research were: (a) to identify and morphologically characterize strain “MA-FC120” associated with root rot and wilting of strawberry crops in Santa Cruz Analco, municipality of San Salvador el Verde, Puebla-Mexico; (b) to evaluate the potential of single and multiple applications of four broad-spectrum fungicides used against F. solani in vitro. Plant tissue samples were collected from strawberry crops in Puebla-Mexico with presence of symptoms of desiccation and root rot. Strain “MA-FC120” was identified as F. solani, being the causal agent of wilt and root rot in strawberry plants from Santa Cruz Analco. Fungicide Benomyl 50® showed the highest percentage of inhibition on F. solani (100%) under in vitro conditions. The fungicide Mancosol 80® and Talonil 75® at low concentration (600 and 450 mg L−1) showed no toxicity, being harmless to strain MA-FC120. However, fungicide Talonil 75® showed slight toxicity at the dose recommended by the manufacturer and moderate toxicity in high concentration (1350 mg L−1). Likewise, Captan 50® in its three concentrations evaluated showed slight toxicity, obtaining around 50% on the classification scale established by International Organization for Biological Control (IOBC).
