1、Strawberry nutrient management

In general, foliar feeding is used as a means of supplying supplemental doses of both micronutrients and macronutrients, plant hormones, stimulants, and other beneficial substances.

2、Nutrient management in strawberry. Effects on yield, quality and plant

In this chapter we present the most important and recent advances on nutrient management of strawberry, in relation to macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, calcium and ...

3、The growth, nutrient uptake and fruit quality in four strawberry

In conclusion, the use of supplemental light can increase the yield and fruit quality of strawberries by elevating nutrients, chlorophyll, and anthocyanin concentrations in plants.

4、Yield and nutrients of six cultivars of strawberries grown in five

Urban populations may struggle to access health-promoting fresh fruits and vegetables, and urban agriculture approaches are of increasing interest. In this study, we used five cropping systems for urban environments to produce strawberry fruit, a popular and high-value fruit.

Micronutrient and Metabolic Profiling of Strawberry Cultivars Grown in

This review paper showing different practices related to strawberry like its propagation, metabolites and health benefits, biochemistry of fruit ripening, effect of micro and macronutrients on strawberry’s growth, yield and quality.

Organic and inorganic fertilizers influence the productivity, fruit

For sustainable crop yields, organic and inorganic balanced fertilization with all the nutrients (major and trace) that are deficient in soils needs to be considered justifiable. Balancing...

Strawberry nutritional summary

Crops require good availability of all macronutrients to support critical growth stages. Nitrogen is required in large quantities at rates of 6 - 7 lb/t of crop yield. Plants require a continuous supply of N for growth and 50% of nitrogen eventually accumulates in the fruit.

The organic manure

In our study, combined with physiological, metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses, the accumulation of quality-related metabolites and the expression of genes involved in these metabolic pathways were investigated to explore the effects of different types of fertilization on strawberry cultivation.

The growth, nutrient uptake and fruit quality in four strawberry

An experiment was conducted in a greenhouse to determine the effects of different supplemental light spectra on the growth, nutrient uptake, and fruit quality of four strawberry cultivars. The plants were grown under natural light and treated with ...

Influence of organic fertilization on growth and yield of strawberry

In light of these findings, strategic use of livestock manure in strawberry cultivation is recommended, for both its productivity benefits, and potential to support environmental protection.

Strawberry (scientific name: Fragaria × ananassa), also known as "foreign berry" or "ground pear," is a plant belonging to the strawberry genus in the rose family. During its growth, strawberries require the absorption of numerous nutrient elements, which can be categorized into two major groups: macronutrients and micronutrients. Secondary macronutrients, which play a moderate role in plant growth, include potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and phosphorus (P).

1. Potassium (K)

Potassium is one of the elements with higher demand during strawberry growth. It regulates osmotic pressure within cell sap, maintains cell membrane stability, and promotes photosynthesis. Adequate potassium increases the sweetness and taste of strawberry fruits while enhancing their nutritional value. Both excessive or insufficient potassium levels in plants can disrupt normal growth. Thus, rational application of potassium fertilizers is critical to ensuring yield and fruit quality.

2. Calcium (Ca)

Calcium is a vital mineral element for strawberry plants, contributing to growth, development, and stress resistance. It helps form cell walls, balance plant hormones, and participates in energy metabolism. Proper calcium levels improve disease resistance and drought tolerance, reducing pesticide risks. excess calcium can lead to leaf yellowing and growth inhibition. balanced calcium fertilization is essential for healthy strawberry growth.

3. Magnesium (Mg)

Magnesium is an essential mineral element for strawberries, crucial for photosynthesis, respiration, and protein synthesis. It aids in chlorophyll production, enzyme activation, and antioxidant formation. Adequate magnesium enhances photosynthetic efficiency, cold resistance, and overall stress resilience. Conversely, overapplication may cause leaf yellowing and growth restrictions. Hence, precise magnesium fertilization is key to robust plant health.

4. Phosphorus (P)

Phosphorus is another indispensable mineral element for strawberries, supporting growth, development, and stress adaptation. It plays a central role in energy metabolism, nucleic acid synthesis, and protein production. Sufficient phosphorus improves photosynthetic efficiency and cold resistance. Nonetheless, excessive phosphorus can induce leaf yellowing and growth limitations. controlled phosphorus fertilization is vital for optimal strawberry cultivation.

Strawberries require significant amounts of secondary macronutrients, including potassium, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. These elements collaboratively facilitate normal growth and enhance fruit quality. In agricultural practice, fertilization strategies should consider growth stages, soil conditions, and market demands to achieve optimal results.
