Substrate characteristics determine vigour and shoot to root ratio (S/R) thus different physiological response Substrate
Chilling (dormancy breaking) Chilling induces high vegetative growth in the favourable climatic condition (temp.> 10°C and long day) Dormancy is induced by low temperature and short day.
Objective: - Harvest programming - Different genotype evaluation - Chilling effect - Adaptability to different substrate
Materials e Methods • Variety: - Paros (June bearing) • - Seascape (ever bearing day-neutral) • Substrate: - organic (peat and compost) • - inorganic (perlite 80% e coconut fiber 20%) • Chilling : - 0 hour • - 132 “ • - 432 “ • Cold storage plant cat. “A”.
