Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the influence of fruit setting order by flower cluster on the fruit weight and the soluble solids content for the strawberry of 'Seolhyang' cultivar. The first flower cluster had higher fruit number, fruit weight, soluble solids content and ratio of large fruit compared to the second and third flower cluster. The fruit set on the upper position fruit in the same flower cluster had higher fruit weight and the soluble solids compared to the fruit set on the lower position fruit in the flower cluster. The fruit weight was highly positive correlated with the soluble solids content. The result indicated that the number of fruit set for marketable yield seemed to be 9-10 per the first flower cluster, 6 per the second flower cluster, 4 per the third flower cluster and 3 per the fourth flower cluster in 'Seolhyang' cultivar.
