Abstract :The nutritional quality of strawberry fruits of the Camarosa cultivar cultivated in organic and conventional cropping systems was compared based on physico-chemical characterization of the fruits by analyses of fruit weight, fruit width, fruit thickness, fruit length, fruit width/fruit length, total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (AT), TSS/AT and antioxidant capacities. The organic cropping system was statistically more effective in increasing contents of TSS and TSS/TA in the conventional growing system. The organic berries were darker red than conventional berries. In addition to, organically cultivated Camarosa strawberry fruit had more total antioxidant activity than conventionally grown one.Keywords : Fragaria x ananassa Duch., Camarosa, organik yetiştirme tekniği, konvansiyonel yetiştirme tekniği, fiziko-kimyasal özellikler, antioksidan aktiviteleri
