Qualidade de frutas de genótipos morangos conduzidos em diferentes recipientes em sistema orgânico

Physical and chemical characteristics of strawberry fruits are influenced by several factors such as planting period and harvest months. Therefore, the objective of this work was to evaluate the post-harvest of fruits from strawberry genotypes throughout the months of evaluation and the different cultivation containers. As plant material, two genotypes called DC-09 (short day) and DN-03 (neutral day) were used, grown in two genotypes of containers. The plant materials were grown outside the soil in substrate during ten months ofproduction. The experimental design adopted for each genotype was a three-factorial randomized block design with two plots subdivided into three replications, consisting of 15 fruits. The evaluations carried out on the fruits were mass, length, diameter, color and soluble solids. The results indicate interaction between containers and harvest months. For the short-day genotype DC-09, there was an interaction between the factors of cultivation container and harvest months, with redder strawberries and higher brix being harvested in the vase-type container in all months evaluated. For the day-neutral genotype DN-03,larger fruits (mass, length and diameter) were harvested in the trough-type container and strawberries with greater color intensity and higher brix were obtained from the vase-type container.
