Abstract

In recent years, strawberry cultivation in a semi-hydroponic system emerged as a technical innovation, however, because the initial investment is high, alternatives must be found to improve productivity further. (BRs) are steroidal plant hormones that promote plant growth, and enhance fruit yield and quality. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of two BRs, the synthetic analogue DI 31 (BB16) and the 24-epibrassinolide (EP24), on production and quality of fruits in strawberries grown in semi-hydroponics system. Regarding yield, the total weight of harvested fruits per plant in the season was higher in BB16 (74.34%) and in EP24 (34.93%), compared to the control. The number of commercial fruits harvested per plant was higher in BB16 and EP24, by 51.92% and 21.45% respectively. On the other hand, a remarkable improvement in fruit quality was observed with the application of both BRs. In this way, BRs represent a sustainable agronomic alternative that can be easily implemented in different cultivation systems, with a potential beneficial effect on fruit yield and quality.
