Sustainable Ecology Strawberry Production Via Different Soilless Culture Techniques Under Urban Conditions

Abstract

Generally, strawberry plants are cultivated under open field conditions and low-tunnels in commercial farms as a high profit yield (Karlsson and Werner, 2011, Demchak and Hanson, 2013). The price of strawberry in the early season is expensive while the shelf life of strawberry fruits is short. Special procedures, managements and transactions are highly required for profitability producing strawberry commercially. Producing strawberry under urban conditions as a selfproduction will reduce the yield waste while neglect the unmarketable yield. The contribution of urban horticulture for producing strawberry as well as leafy vegetables create more resilience city for climate change negitive impacts.
