Abstract
- The effects of Fe deficiency on the antioxidant properties of strawberry juice was carried out with a day-neutral cultivar 'Selva'. Bare root transplants (without leaves) with approximately 18 cm, were transferred to Hoagland's nutrient solution with (Fe2.5) and without Fe (Fe0), using Fe-EDDHMA as the Fe source: 0 and 2.5 5 μM Fe. Plants were grown in 20 L containers in a glasshouse for 6 weeks (from April 27 to June 5) under natural light and air temperature ≤ 25°C. Twelve transplants were used per treatment, distributed in a complete randomized design. Plants grown in absence of Fe revealed chlorotic symptoms approximately after three weeks, based on SPAD values measured in young leaves (
