Growth Response of Strawberry Seedlings to Application of Solid Chlorella

Abstract

A liquid-type chlorella (LC) produced by self-cultivation is used for strawberry cultivation by farmers in Korea. This study aimed to investigate seedling growth in two strawberry cultivars ‘Soraya’ and ‘Haruhi’ after applying solid-type chlorella (SC) in the greenhouse for 30 d. The treatments were as follows: Control, LC (0.2% of 1.0 × 10 7 cells/mL), ¼ SC (12.5 g/m 2 ), ½ SC (25 g/m 2 )
