The experiment was aimed at comparing the effects of two types of peat-coconut substrates used for strawberry (Fragaria ananassa Duch.) cultivation in the soilless system.The study results demonstrated a direct effect of the substrate on the yield quantity and quality of strawberry fruits.Cultivar 'Albion' proved to have the highest yield under conditions of hydroponic cultivation.A higher yield as well as increased contents of extract, sugars, organic acids, polyphenols, and anthocyanins were found in fruits from plants cultivated in the peat-coconut substrate (50:50).A different observation was made for vitamin C content, the highest content of which was determined in fruits of cultivar 'Polka' cultivated in the substrate containing 80% of peat and 20% of coconut.
