Abstract

This experiment was carried out during the two seasons of 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 at a Private Vegetable Farm in El-Kassasein distract, Ismailia Governorate, Egypt, to investigate the effect of foliar spray with some natural  material extracts (cinnamon, chili pepper, henna and turmeric at 1 or 2g/ liter of each) beside control treatment (foliar spray with water only) on some physiological, chemical measurements, yield and its components and fruit quality of strawberry plants cv. Festival grown in sandy soil and using drip irrigation system. The obtained results can be summarized as follows: Spraying plants with henna or turmeric extracts 2 g/l of each had significant effect on plant height, number of  leaves/ plant,  shoot dry weight, total chlorophyll in leaves, N, P and K contents and  their uptake  by shoots, early  and total yield/fed., average fruit weight as compared  to the other foliar treatments or control in both seasons. Moreover, spraying strawberry plants with turmeric extract at 2 g/l recorded the highest values of all abovementioned traits, total sugars and anthocyanin content in fruit in both seasons. In addition, spraying plant with henna extracts at 2 g/ l recorded the highest fruit firmness in both seasons, nevertheless the maximum vitamin C was obtained with plants received 2 g/l chili pepper extract in both seasons.   Conclusively, from the  foregoing results of this study, it could be concluded that spraying strawberry plants with henna or turmeric extracts 2 g/l  of each four times  beginning 60 days from transplanting and 15 days intervals were the best treatments for  increased  plant growth , total yield  and fruit quality of strawberry under sandy soil conditions.
