Abstract
- In this study, interactions of nickel sulfate and urea sprays on vegetative growth, yield and leaf mineral contents in strawberry were investigated. Rooted Pajaro strawberry plants were potted in 3 liter pots filled with soil, leaf mold and sand (1:1:1, v/v/v). Established plants were foliar sprayed with nickel sulfate at 0, 150, 300 and 450 mg L−1and urea 0 and 2 g L−1concentrations. Results indicated that nickel (Ni; 300 mg L−1) plus urea (2 g L−1) significantly increased the yield and runner numbers. Nickel sulfate at the rate of 300 and 150 mg L−1and urea (2 g L−1) significantly increased the crown numbers. The greatest root fresh and dry weights were obtained from untreated plants. Urea at 2 g L−1without nickel significantly increased shoot fresh and dry weights. Nickel at 450 mg L−1without urea significantly increased Ni concentration in leaves. Overall, nickel sulfate at 150 and 300 mg L−1along with urea at 2 g L−1were the best treatments. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
