YIELD AND FRUIT QUALITY OF STRAWBERRY CULTIVARS UNDER DIFFERENT MULCHING SYSTEMS

Ildikó Király, András Palkovics, Virág Mihálka

Abstract


In our experiment two strawberry cultivars (ʻJoly’, ʻAsia’ ) were evaluated under organic farming conditions. The effect of three different mulching systems (black geotextile, straw, cut grass) on the fruit quality and yield were compared to the uncovered control parcel. Significant differences were found between the mulching systems in the number of fruits, size of fruits and in the yield.

Keywords


soil covering; organic farming; Fragaria × ananassa ’Asia’; Fragaria × ananassa ’Joly’
