Abstract

In the same plastic greenhouse, a 1/3 area of strawberries was damaged by Fusarium wilt, but a 2/3 area had little damage. The results of analyzing soil texture, chemical properties, soil moisture content, and soil temperature to understand the cause of the local wilting of strawberries (cultivar: Seolhyang) in the same greenhouse are as follows. From September 1st to October 9th 2021, the maximal air temperature over 28℃ was 23 days, which was an environment that was prone to strawberry Fusarium wilt. Soil texture at the Fusarium wilt site was a sandy loam consisting of 51.2% sand, 25.5% silt, and 23.3% clay, but the disease-free site was a loam consisting of 38.6% sand, 44.1% silt, and 17.2% clay. The pH of the sandy loam soil was lower and the cation content and electric conductivity (EC) were higher than that of the loam soil. In the sandy clay loam soil, soil temperature was 1.4℃ higher at a depth of 10 cm compared to the loam, 2.7℃ higher at a depth of 20 cm, and 1.3℃ higher at a depth of 30 cm. This high soil temperature would have increased evaporation of strawberry plant. In the sandy clay loam soil, the moisture content was 0.8% lower at a depth of 10 cm, 3.6% at a depth of 20 cm, and 2.4% at a depth of 30 cm than the loam soil. Soil texture could influence occurrence of strawberry Fusarium wilt resulted from different soil temperature, water content and soil chemical properties in the same fertigation culture.
