The Role of Foliar Applications of Boron and Gibberallic acid (GA3) on Yield and Quality in Different Strawberry Types

Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of boric acid and giberallic acid (GA3) applications on yield and quality in strawberry cultivars. In the experiment, 5 different doses of boric acid (Control, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 ppm) and GA3 (Control, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 ppm) were applied. As a result of the applications, the average number of flowers was determined between 29.9-50.7. Fruit weights in the experiment varied between 17.1-22.3 g. Brix value varied between 6.3-7.9%. The pH values of the fruits were found between 2.5-2.9. Titratable acidity value was measured between 0.5-1.1 %. It was determined that the applications made a difference in terms of yield and quality in strawberry cultivars.
