Effects of Some Applications on Strawberry Seedling Productivity and Quality

Strawberry is one of the important berries grown widely in the world. In parallel with the increase in strawberry production, the need for quality strawberry seedlings also increases. This study was carried out on the Kabarla strawberry variety. The study investigated the effect of 4 treatments (Control, Glycine + Humic acid, Glycine + IBA, Humic acid + IBA) on strawberry seedling production. The study was designed according to the randomized block trial design with three replications for each application and six plants in each replication. Strawberry seedlings were planted in the first week of May, spacing 50 cm x 1 m. Applications were carried out 4 times with an interval of 15 days when the first stolons on the plants were ready for rooting. Seedlings were divided into three quality groups: A+, A, and B. At the end of the study, it was determined that all applications positively affected the number and quality of strawberry seedlings. While the Humic acid + IBA application was found to be the most effective application to obtain A+ quality seedlings, the Glycine + IBA application was found to be the most effective application to obtain A and B quality seedlings.
