description This research was conducted in Horticulture dept., College of Agriculture and Forestry, at Mosul university to test the effect of four concentrations (0, 20, 40, and 60 mg Fe/l) and two dates of application (15/3 and 15/4) of Fe-elements used as a chelating compound Fe-EDTA; on growth, yield and quality of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) Cv. Hapil. A factorial experiment (randomized complete block design) with three replicates, each experimental unit contain ten plants. Data obtained from this experiment was tested by using Duncan’s multiple test at 5% level. The obtained results indicated that there were a significant effect of foliar spray of Fe-EDTA on most growth and yield characteristics, and the most effective treatment was 60 mg Fe/l specially when applied at the first date (15/3) which significantly overtopped in: leaf area, number of runners/plant, dry weight of vegetative growth, total chlorophyll content, number of fruit per plant, average yield per plant and per unit area, total soluble solids and the content of vitamin C as compared with control treatment.
