Abstract
From the pomicol species, the strawberry plant is one with a large habitat, having
more modest requirements than the pedoclimatics factors and a culture technology not
very complicated. It is one of the most profitable culture in case of applying a technology
adequated to the biological and ecological particularities of the plant. Starting from the
particularities of strawberry’s growing, it is said that the first 2 or 3 runners and rosets
formed in the planting’s year can fructify in the the following year, when the culture has
been established in spring, the runners having time enough to become vigorous plants
until autumn for making possible the difference between the bud and the knot. In this
paper we present part of results concerning the influence of culture system on the
chemical composition of strawberry leaves. Excepting V6-band/125cm, the rhythm of
accumulation in leaves, at the analyzed variants, reached higher values than the, in
accordance with the average productions obtained.
INTRODUCTION
Strawberries are adapted to many growing regions and it is one of the most profitable
culture in case of applying a technology adequated to the biological and ecological
particularities of the plant. Strawberries are grown under many different systems
throughout the world (matted rows, annual plasticulture, ribbon rows, waiting beds. ).
Strawberries are very labor-intensive, and establishment and operating costs can be
high. In this work we estimated the two possibilities of maintaining the plants in
multiannual culture (individual plant or matted row) in the conditions of planting at
different distances (25cm, 75 cm, 125 cm) from the leaves’ containment in
macroelements point of view.
CONCLUSIONS
Excepting V6-band/125cm (38,17 %), the rhythm of accumulation of dry
substance in leaves, at the analyzed variants, reached higher values than the control
(V4- 38,41%), between 38,62 % (V5) and 39,84 % (V1), in accordance with the average
productions obtained between 2003-2005.
From the presented data it can be seen that in the three years of experimentation
the average level of nitrogen in leaves bypassed the deficiency limits (<2%) at all the
experimented variants, but in the optimum interval there were only V1-ind.pl./25 cm
(2,79 %) and V2-ind.pl./75 cm (2,71 %).
Because of a high content of phosphorus in soil, all the obtained variants
exceeds the optimum interval of leaves’ purveyance with this element (0,25-0,35 %),
without exesting too big differences between the variants.
Leaves’ content in potassium is in optimum limits (1-2%), excepting
V6-band/125cm in 2003; the biggest leaves’ content in potassium was registered at V1-
ind.pl./25 cm (1,33 %), which also realized the best results on the productivity aspect.
Calcium was situated at all the variants towards the inferior limit of the optimum
purveyance interval (0,5-1,5 % from SUT), especially in 2003 and 2004; calcium
accumulations in the leaves harvested from the “individual plants” variants were higher
(0,59-0,62 % from SUT) than from the “matted row” ones (0,5-0,54 %).
Leaves’ content in magnesium descended under the optimum level (0,25 %-0,50
%), both in the first year of production -2003 (droughty) and in the second year - 2004,
and in 2005 (excessively rainy) it increased, reaching optimum limits (0,26% - 0,30 %
from SUT), excepting V6-band/125 cm (0,22 %).
