Effect of plastic mulching on strawberry fruit yield and quality

الملخص EN

A field experiment was carried out during the two successive winter seasons of 2017/18 and 2018/19.

The aims of the experiment were to investigate the effect of using three different mulch treatments (black polyethylene, clear polyethylene, and bare soil) on strawberry 'Florida' and 'Winterstar' cultivars (Fragaria X ananassa Duch) regarding thefruit yield, yield attributes, and some fruit quality characteristics (vitamin C, anthocyanin, acidity, TSS, and TSS: acidity), along with the financial aspects of using polyethylene mulching for strawberry productivity.
