Effect of Various Magnesium Concentrations on the Quantity of Chlorophyll
of 4 Varieties of Strawberry Plants (Fragaria ananassas D.) Cultivated
in Inert Media
This study tested the concentration of magnesium 0.4,
0.7, 1.4 and 2.8 meq L-1 on the varieties of strawberry plants
Seonhong, Maehyang, Keumhyang and Seolhyang cultivated in inert media.
The application of the concentration 0.4 meq L-1 on the whole
of studied plants gave the smallest quantity of chlorophyll. However,
it was not noted a significant difference between the concentrations 0.7,
1.4 and 2.8 meq L-1. Between the varieties and for the concentrations
0.4 and 0.7 meq L-1, we obtained on the leaves of Seonhong`
the highest quantity of chlorophyll. The smallest quantity was registered
on Seolhyang. For the concentration 2.8 meq L-1, the greatest
quantity was recognized on Maehyang and Keumhyang. We also obtained the
smallest quantity on Seolhyang. Concerning the physiological stages, during
the first stalk flowering, we noted that the greatest quantity of total
chlorophyll was on the leaves of Fruit setting stage. It is followed by
the leaves of beginning fruit setting stage and finally by leaves of flowering
stage. PDFFulltextXMLReferencesCitation
