The obtained MCW and FYM were used 10, 20 and 40 tons per hectare. Experiment was designed as Randomized Blocks with 3 replicates. Applications in question during the growing season are observed the earliness, the yield per plant and fruit quality. According to the results of this two-year-experiment, it was determined that MCW can be used as an alternative fertilizer to FYM in strawberry growing.
