Abstract

Importance of organic agriculture has been increased by developing of consumer's conscious in recent years. In this study, the effects of different organic applications on yield and some quality parameters of Camarosa and Fern strawberry cultivars were investigated. This research was conducted at Ankara University Faculty of Agriculture Ayas Horticultural Research Centre during 2002-2004 years. Frigo seedlings of Camarosa and Fern strawberry cultivars were planted in July. Yield and some quality parameters of plants grown under different organic applications performed in different plots were determined. The highest yield values were obtained from Green manure+farmyard manure+humic acid+foliar fertilizer application (Fern: 177,07 g/plant, Camarosa: 133,9 g/plant). As a result, Green manure+farmyard manure+humic acid+foliar fertilizer application can be suggested to organic strawberry growers in Ankara ecological conditions.
