“…There are many reports describing yield reductions caused by Fe deficiency in field crops (Hansen et al, 2006) and in fruits (Rombola and Tagliavini, 2006) and the detrimental effects of Fe-chlorosis on both fruit yield and quality (Álvarez-Fernández et al, 2006). The differences in sensitivity to Fe deficiency among plant species have been reported by several researchers (Vose, 1982;Awad et al, 1994;Tagliavini and Rombola, 2001;Erdal et al, 2004;Álvarez-Fernández et al, 2011;Pestana et al, 2012;Zuo and Zhang, 2011), and the strawberry is one of the most sensitive species to Fe deficiency (Vose, 1982;Zaiter et al, 1993;Álvarez-Fernández et al, 2006;Kafkas et al, 2007;Pestana et al, 2011Pestana et al, , 2012.…”
