Abstract

Two field experiments were conducted at a private farm in Abdul Salam Aref, Badr Center, Beheira Governorate, Egypt during the winter growing seasons of 2020/2021 and 2021/2022 to study organic strawberry production under different irrigation levels cultivated in sandy soil. Three irrigation levels (100, 75, and 50%ET0) were arranged in main plots, and the four organic fertilizers ( plant compost (3.5 and 7 t/fed.), chicken manure (1.75 and 3.5 t/fed.), vermicompost (3.5 and 7 t/fed.) and bokashi (3.5 and 7 t/fed.) were arranged in subplots. The results indicated that irrigation levels at 100% recorded the highest values of vegetative growth, i.e., plant height, plant fresh weight, number of leaves, leaf area, and total chlorophyll (SPAD) of strawberries. Also, irrigation levels at 100% gave the highest mean values of yield characteristics (i.e., fruit length, fruit weight, yield/plant, and yield/fed) and caused a significantly higher increase in the studied chemical composition (i.e., TSS, total acidity, total sugar, vitamin C in fruits, and N, P, K percentage in leaves) compared with the other treatment during both seasons. On the other hand, the application of different organic fertilizers significantly increased all these traits. However, vermicompost (7 t/fed.) recorded significant increases in plant height, plant fresh weight, leaf area, total chlorophyll, fruit length in the second season, fruit weight, yield/plant and yield/fed (in the first season), percentage of TSS and content of vitamin C. Meanwhile , chicken manure (3.5 t/fed.) caused the highest mean values of number of leaves, fruit length (in the first season), yield/plant and yield/fed (in the second season), and NPK percentages of leaves compared with the other organic treatments, while the control treatment recorded the highest value of total acidity during both seasons.
