| Abstract | ||
| Plastic house experiment was conducted in Horticulture and Forestry Dept./ Al - Najaf Agricultural Directorate from 14/11/2012 until 12/5/2013. The aim was to study the effects of two factors , the first : soil mulching with different colors : transparency , white and black , the second : two quantities of Agricultural media at a ratio of 1:1 and 3:1 soil to compost in addition to control treatment (soil alone ) and their interactions on yield and quality of Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch) cv.'' Festival ''. Results showed that plants grown in a transparency polyethylene mulch produced the highest yield reached 182.1 g / plant Fruits of black polyethylene mulched soil produced the highest total soluble solid percentage at the first fruits picking reached 6.22 % and the highest total acidity percentage reached 0.48 %. Moreover , fruits of plants grown with white polyethylene soil mulch gave the highest amount of vitamin C at the last picking reached 67.73 mg/ 100g fresh weight . The ratio of Agriculture medium 1:1 soil to compost has significant effect marked with the highest total plant yield of 213.0 g / plant accumulated with the production of the highest per cent of total soluble solid at the first picking reached 6.22 % , meanwhile , fruit of control plant treatment gained the highest total acidity percentage at the same picking time, it was 0.51% while , at the last picking time(12/4/2013) fruits of 3:1 treatment gave the highest amount of vitamin C reached to 68.30 mg / 100g fresh weight . The interaction between studied factors from transparency polyethylene mulched soil and Agriculture medium at a rat of 1:1. the largest plant yield of 277.5 g/ plant in addition to gain the highest total soluble solid of 6.67 % Interaction between plant of black soil mulch and medium of 3:1 soil to compost produced the highest percentage of total acidity of 0.55 %. Fruits of plants produced from the interactions between transparency white and black mulch and the same above medium the highest values of vitamin C reached 68.30 mg/ 100g fresh weight | ||
