Effect of GA3 application on fruit yield, flowering and vegetative characteristics on early yield of strawberry cv. Gaviota

ABSTRACT: Gibberellins have important role in several important biochemical and morphogenetic responses in plants. Treatments including: GA3 )0, 25 and 50 mg/L) arranged in a completely randomized design with 4 replications. Treatments were sprayed on plants after removing the last flower, and repeat application once more after a week. The effect of GA3 applications were evaluated on yield, flowering and vegetative characteristics. Marketable yield, Square meter yield, average fruit weight, fertilized flowers and not fertilized flower, Leaf and branch crown, did not affect by GA3 application significantly, while number flower on inflorescence and Runner significantly increased. GA3 foliar application at 50 mg/l in Gaviota strawberry plants, increased runner which help us to produce strawberry plant.
