The Effect of Terbacil on Chlorophyll Content of Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa cv. ‘Honeoye’) Leaves
Abstract
In this research terbacil was used as a tool to study chlorophyll regeneration in strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa cv. ‘Honeoye’) leaves. Strawberry plants which are in two different growth stages (During fruit set and after harvest) were applied with 50, 100 and 200 ppm terbacil. Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, protochlorophyll and total chlorophyll contents were measured with 4 days of intervals up to 16 days. Chlorophyll a and total chlorophyll content decreased within 4 days of terbacil application. However, recovery was observed after 4 days. Stage of the development did not affect this recovery process.
