Summary
BACKGROUND: Nutrient solution composition affects plant growth, yield and fruit quality. Nitrate, ammonium and urea are absorbable forms of nitrogen for plants however each form can have different effects on plant growth aspects. Urea is a low cost source of nitrogen and urease enzyme is activated by nickel (Ni), so using these nutrients may be beneficial for strawberry plant growth. The influence of different nutrient solution on strawberry cv. “Paros” growth, enzymatic activity and leaf mineral content was studied in this research at Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to understand the role of Ni and different forms of nitrogen in the hydroponic culture on growth, nutrient composition and enzyme activity of strawberry plants, to identify whether a combination o
