Theresearch aimstocompensateorganicfertilizationInterferencewith mulching, rather thanchemicalfertilization, that impactongrowth andproduction of Strawberry FragariaananassaDuch. Var.Hapil. The results showedsuperiority of plants with organic fertilization and mulching in leaf,stolen,daughter plants number, leaf area per plant and chlorophyll content(37.3),(145.1cm2),(8.3),(19.7)and (168.83 mg.100g-1)respectively, the significantly increasing in vegetative parameters due significant increased in fruit number (7.67) per plant,fruit weight (11.07 gm) and the yield (84.7 gm.
