Abstract

In this study, effects of various seedling types and growing media on the physical features in strawberry (Fragaria×ananassa Duch) cultivation with greenhouse soilless culture were examined. In the trial, ‘Camarosa’ cultivar was tried as cultivar; plug and frigo seedlings were tried as seedling type; and peat (T), perlite (P), cocopit (K), volcanic tuff (V) and the combinations of these are tried as growing media. As a result of the trial, the root number, root length, root volume, the weight of the fresh and dry plant under the soil, the weight of the fresh and dry plant over the soil, stem diameter, tillering number, and leaf number values in the plants removed after vegetation were determined higher in frigo seedling than in plug seedling. In terms of growing media, K and K+V media composed higher values than other media in terms of examined criteria.
