SUSCEPTIBILITY OF STRAWBERRY CULTIVARS TO DROUGHT CONDITIONS

The article reveals the data on the drought tolerance of strawberry cultivars, studied the water content and water stress in the leaves of strawberry cultivars belonging to different ecological groups. Currently, water deficiency and the amount of water available for irrigation are a limiting factor in expanding the area under crops and increasing productivity. In the experiments, the air temperature, relative humidity, water content in the leaves and the effect of soil moisture on water scarcity and the correlation between them were studied by taking samples from the leaves of strawberry cultivars before and after irrigation of the experimental fields.
