Abstract

This experiment was carried out during the two successive winter seasons of 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 at the Experimental farm of El-Kassasein, Hort. Res. Station,  Ismailia Governorate, Egypt, to investigate the effect of foliar spray with chitosan (Cs), calcium chloride (CaCl2) and potassium silicate (K2SiO3) , beside of the control treatment (foliar spray with tap water)   on growth, yield and storability of strawberry cv. Festival grown in sandy soil  under drip irrigation system.  The obtained results  showed  that,  sprayed strawberry plants   with Cs+ K2SiO3 significantly increased shoot dry weight , early yield / plant and total yield,  as well as  TSS  and vitamin C in fruits  at harvested time  in both growing seasons.  Under the storage conditions, the lowest total weight loss and decay percentages  and  highest  values  of TSS in fruits  were  noticed  when the  plants were  treated with  Cs+CaCl2. While the  fruit firmness had  the highest values when the plants sprayed with   CaCl2+ K2SiO3 treatment in both growing seasons. On the other hand, the   maximum values  of  vitamin  C in fruits  were recorded  as a result of the plants  sprayed with  the treatment of Cs+ K2SiO3. Conclusively, it could be concluded that the treatment of  Cs + K2SiO3 in most cases ,  being the most effective treatment for obtained highest values of shoot dry weight,  early yield,  total yield,  TSS,  firmness,  vitamin C, as well as , for obtained lowest values in weight loss and decay percentages of strawberry fruits during storage periods.
