Abstract
June-bearing strawberry plants are grown in plant factories after a low-temperature/short-day length treatment to induce flower bud initiation.
In this study, we aimed to identify the optimum conditions to induce flower bud initiation under LED lighting.
Nursery plants of ‘Tochiotome’ strawberry raised under artificial lighting were grown under 16 different conditions, consisting of combinations of 0.5 or 0.8 dS m‑1 electrical conductivity (EC, indicating nutrient solution strength), air temperatures of 11, 14, 17, or 20°C during the dark period, and a treatment duration of 2 or 4 weeks.
The day length was 12 h (photosynthetic flux density, 300 µmol m‑2 s‑1), with an air temperature during the light period of 27°C and a CO2 concentration of 1,000 µmol mol‑1. After these treatments, the nursery plants were grown in a growth chamber at 27/15°C (light/dark period). Flowering was delayed in the 4-week treatments with 11 and 14°C air temperatures compared with the 4-week treatments with 17 and 20°C, whereas the flowering date did not differ significantly among these treatments when they were applied for 2 weeks at EC 0.8. Flowering was promoted in the 2-week treatments at EC 0.5, whereas plant growth was suppressed and flowering was variable in the 4-week treatments at EC 0.5, regardless of the temperature during the dark period.
Tip-burn occurred only in the EC 0.8 treatments.
Tip-burn tended to be more serious after the 4-week treatments than after the 2-week treatments, and more serious after higher-temperature treatments.
Plants produced more flowers after the 4-week treatments than after the 2-week treatments at EC 0.8, and more flowers after the 2-week treatments than after the 4-week treatments at EC 0.5. The combination of 0.8 dS m‑1 EC and 17 or 20°C in the dark period is recommended for flower bud initiation and strong plant growth and fruit yield.
