Abstract
This experiment has investigated the effects of silicon on albinism of strawberry. Albino fruit appeared after a month of treatment of potasium silicate(Si) in nutrient solution. When $200mL{\cdot}L^{-1}$ of Si applied, number of albino fruit increased over 90% of total amount of fruit, and the symptom remained latest any other treatment. The fruit length of the strawberries in Si treatments were longer than control treatment. However, the diameter and weight of fruit decreased in treatment of Si. The soluble solids of fruits, numbers of fruit and yield per plant were no significant differences among treatments. The rate of albino fruit was significantly increased with increase of concentration of Si. The results of this experiment will be utilized for the cultivation in the new substrate application for strawberry hydroponics.
