Aplication of animal origin biostimulators in strawberry production

Biostimulators usage today growing permanently in crop production. Usage of animal origin biostimulators, specifically porcine blood, had positive effect on plant growing and thermal stress. During vegetation period in year 2011 different varieties of strawberries were included in experiment: Asia, Alba and Clery. In three treatments (0.5 g, 1, 0 g and 1.5 g per plant + control treatment) we studied the effects of biostimulator peptone on strawberry yield and pomological characteristics. All substances were applied in root zone separately in total 4 different treatments during vegetation and have been compared with the control. Experiment set up in ecological conditions of continental Croatia in open places in plots in two rows covered with a white mulch and drip irrigation system placed under the mulch. The aim of this study was that in terms of environmental conditions northwestern Croatia explore importantly pomological characteristics of studied varieties under the influence of biostimulators, wishing that in these new plantations be represented by the manufacturer best varieties. This paper presents the results of research of peptone influence on: duration of maturity, plant yield, average fruit weight and number of fruits per plant caused by influence of biostimulant.
