“…The conventional farming system produced strawberry plants with higher leaf area and dry weight compared with the organic plants (Table 5). These results are consistent with previous reports (Baruzzi et al, 2009;Njoroge and Kabir, 2009) of a higher yield and canopy growth in the case of conventional management compared to organic farming. The different performances of the two farming methods did not appear to be caused by soil borne diseases, since no plant symptoms were detected, but they may be related to the faster action of the conventional mineral fertilizer compared to the organic manure.…”

“…As regards the productive performance, the conventional farming system produced a 50% higher yield compared with the organic system (Table 5), owing to higher number of berries per plant. Organic strawberries, however, had a higher mean weight as previously reported by Baruzzi et al (2009), although this may not be always true according to Abu-Zahra and Tahboub (2009).…”

“…Similarly to our findings Kamperidou and Vasilakakis (2006) reported that crops from cold stored plants had a larger plant growth but, contrastingly, produced a greater number of berries with a lower mean weight, compared to fresh plants. However, according to Baruzzi et al (2009), the different productive performances of strawberry crops grown from cold stored and fresh plants appear to vary with the plant genotype. The "farming system" × "propagation material" × "crop duration" interaction had significant effects on yield.…”

“…For instance, the fruit mean weight was negatively affected by frozen storage since weight decreased in frozen fruits (table II). Moreover, organic strawberries had a lower mean weight, as previously reported by Abu-Zahra and Tahboub [30] for the cultivar 'Camarosa', although this may not always be true according to Baruzzi et al [31] and Conti et al [32], who analyzed different Italian strawberry cultivars. It is well established that organic materials (fish meal or powder, feather, alfalfa, soybean, bone, blood and meat meal) are less concentrated nutrient sources than conventional fertilizers and are characterized by low mineralization rates [33].…”

-Introduction. Consumer interest in organic fruit is increasing based on the assumption that these products are healthier, despite a lack of conclusive evidence. Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) is a rich source of antioxidants and an important fruit in the human diet. Materials and methods. The configuration of strawberry fruit quality was analyzed in a factorial approach accounting for the effects of the farming system and postharvest frozen storage. The strawberry cultivars 'Sabrina' and 'Ventana' grown under organic and conventional farming management were stored postharvest at −40• C for 6 months. Fruits obtained under the two farming systems were analyzed fresh after harvest and thawed after frozen storage. Fruit quality was evaluated in terms of physical, chemical and phytochemical properties. Results and discussion. The surface lightness, firmness, lipophilic antioxidant activity, soluble solids, ascorbic acid and ellagic acid contents were significantly higher at harvest than after thawing. Frozen storage increased only hydrophilic antioxidant activity, leaving reducing sugars and total phenols without significant alterations. The color of organic fruits in both cultivars was brighter and more vivid (higher L* and C* values). Farming management did not affect the reducing sugars and ascorbic acid contents for the 'Sabrina' (4.6% and 55.5 mg 100 g −1 FW, respectively) or 'Ventana' (4.0% and 31.2 mg 100 g −1 FW, respectively) cultivars. The organic 'Ventana' strawberry had higher soluble solid content and hydrophilic antioxidant activity, whereas an opposite trend was observed in total phenols and ellagic acid contents for 'Ventana' and 'Sabrina', respectively. Conclusion. The quality of strawberries, in particular the bioactive compounds, varied according to the farming system and postharvest frozen storage. The cultivation factors, including the farming management and cultivar, may significantly interact to affect quality attributes of strawberry fruit.Keywords: Italy / strawberry / Fragaria × ananassa / organic farming / fruit quality / antioxdant activity / ascorbic acid / ellagic acid / phenolics Résumé -Effet du système de culture et de congélation post-récolte sur les attributs de qualité de deux cultivars de fraisier. Introduction. L'intérêt des consommateurs pour les fruits issus d'agriculture biologique repose de plus en plus sur l'hypothèse selon laquelle ces produits sont meilleurs pour la santé, malgré l'absence de preuves concluantes. La fraise (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) est une source abondante d'antioxydants tout en étant un fruit courant en alimentation humaine. Matériel et méthodes. Les composantes de la qualité de la fraise ont été analysées selon une approche factorielle prenant en compte des effets du système de culture et de stockage post-récolte par congélation. Les fruits des cultivars de fraisiers 'Sabrina' et 'Ventana' cultivés en conduite soit biologique soit conventionnelle, ont été stockés à −40• C après la récolte. Les fruits obtenus selon les deux systèmes de...

“…In addition, the latest studies have focused on the nutrient and phytochemical contents of strawberries and the factors affecting the composition of this fruit. As a result of these studies, some of the authors reported that especially organically grown strawberries showed similar or better fruit quality characteristics than conventionally grown strawberries [18,29,30]. Ateş et al [31] reported that the positive effects of various natural fertilizers on the yield parameters of strawberry cv.…”

The Effect of Organic, Inorganic Fertilizers and Their Combinations on Fruit Quality Parameters in Strawberry

Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) is widely grown and highly appreciated by consumers around the world for its delicious, soft, and highly nutritious fruits. Turkey is one of the most important strawberry producers in the world. Strawberry cultivation in Turkey typically involves the use of chemical fertilizers and more recently organic and organic+ chemical fertilizers have been started to use in commercial production to produce healthier fruits. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effect of organic, chemical, and organic + chemical fertilizer treatments in strawberry (cvs. ‘Albion’, ‘San Andreas’ and ‘Monterey’) fruit quality parameters including fruit color (L*, a*, b*, C and H0) parameters, soluble solids content, total acidity, fruit firmness, vitamin C, specific sugars and organic acids. Results showed that in particular fruit color parameters, soluble solid content (SSC), total acidity, fruit firmness, and vitamin C (L-Ascorbic acid) in fruits of three strawberry cultivars were significantly affected by different fertilizer applications (p < 0.05). Compared with conventional chemical fertilizer treatment, the organic fertilizer treatment produced fruit with significantly higher contents of SSC and glucose but decreased fruit firmness and vitamin C. Organic fertilizer also gave more intense colored strawberry fruits with high Chroma values (47.948 in organic fertilizer application and 39.644 and 39.931 in organic + chemical fertilizer and chemical fertilizer, respectively). Citric acid was identified to be the predominant organic acid in strawberry fruits but treatments were found insignificant on citric acid content.
