20.500.12556/RUL-166454 Application of microalgae‑based biostimulants in sustainable strawberry production Bio-based solutions that promote plant growth, yields and functional quality of foods in primary production are gaining popularity in environmentally challenging conditions such as temperature fuctuations, late frosts and excess precipitation. This study was implemented to examine the foliar efect of microalgae biostimulants (three microalgae: Chlorella vulgaris, Scenedesmus vacuolatus and Coelastrella sp. in two concentrations ‒ 5 and 10%) on growth, productivity and fruit quality of strawberry cultivar ‘Alba’. Strawberry vegetative and generative potential (rosette height, number of leaves, fowers and fruit per plant), physical fruit properties (weight, height, width and shape index) was assessed with standard morphometric methods as well as fruit quality (sugars, organic acids and phenolic compounds) with high performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS). Result showed that algae treatment T6 (Coelastrella sp., 10%) applied foliarly positively afected on the balance between vegetative and generative growth and consequently, more than 25% higher yields for the treated plants. Content of sugar and most of secondary metabolites in treatment T6 were more than 10% higher compared to other treatments. Overall, the results of the present study suggest the sustainable approach of microalgae application may introduce positive advances in organic strawberry production in feld conditions. Furthermore, research provides novel insights into infuence of microalgae on important fruit quality components that can contribute to the various potential benefcial human health efects. organic production yield fruit quality sugars organic acids phenolic compounds alge biostimulanti jagode pridelovanje vrtnin true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-01-13 14:37:21 2025-01-13 14:37:28 2025-01-14 03:54:40 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 1219-1231 iss. 3 Vol. 36 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 634.1/.7 0921-8971 10.1007/s10811-023-03169-8 183166211 Application_of_microalgae-based_biostim...pdf Application_of_microalgae-based_biostim...pdf 1 272C973D1A5CD762DDCD45A0D97E8E3C 297bbe70923db53b3eb5ca9e3b3641cbdc109ec2c0f591d0f465fc658faead1f 6a7d3207-d1b3-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=198082 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10811-023-03169-8 1 ca79a922-d1b2-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=198081 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
