Abstract

In this study, effect of foliar application of iron, calcium and zinc sulfate reproductive growth, yield and some qualitative characteristics of strawberry fruit were investigated. The treatments included zinc sulfate at three levels (50, 100 and 150 mg l -1 ), iron at three levels (250, 500 and 1000mg l -1 ), calcium at two levels (5 and 10 mM) and distilled water as a control. As result has shown iron, calcium and zinc sulfate increased dry weight, leaf area, length of roots of strawberry. Sprays of zinc sulfate at 150 mg l -1 , iron at 1000 mg l -1 and calcium at 10 mM improved number of flowers, weight of primary and secondary fruit. The highest percentage of total soluble solids, titratable acidity and ascorbic acid was attained in fruits treated with zinc sulfate at 150 mg l -1 and the lowest was achieved in control. In general, spraying zinc sulfate at 150 mg l -1 , iron at 1000 mg l -1 and calcium at 10 mM concentration is recommended for increasing the strawberry yield.
