Influence of Mulch Types on Yield and Quality of Organically Grown Strawberry Cultivars

Abstract

The present studywas carried out during 2011-2013 under open-field cultivation conditions to find out the effect of black plastic, agro-textile and sawdust mulch types on yield and quality of organically grown strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) cv. ‘Monterey’, ‘Albion’, ‘Aromas’, ‘Camarosa’ and ‘Sweet Charlie’. The yield per plant, fruit weight and diameter, firmness, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, pH and fruit skin color were measured. At the end of the study, it was determined that the plant yield and fruit quality were affectedby the genotypes and mulch types . The highest values were obtained from the ‘Monterey’ in terms of yield per plant (696.90 g / plant), fruit weight (18.40 g / fruit) and fruit diameter (37.05 mm). Among different types of mulches, textile mulch was found to be superior in terms of yield per plant (486.11 g / plant) and fruit diameter (31.92 mm). The effect of genotype and mulch type on the average values of acidity, pH and fruit firmness were statistically significant. While the fruit skin color L, chroma and hue values were found significantly different for the genotypes, it was determined that the difference of mulch type significantly affected only the hue angle.
