Abstract
The global productivity of strawberry cultivation is significantly impacted by soil salinity, a prominent abiotic stress factor. It is imperative to employ efficient approaches for the management of soil salinity enhance strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) productivity. So, a field experiment was carried out aiming to evaluate the response of strawberry grown under salinity stress to the exogenous applications of yeast extract Y.E (0, 100, 150 ml L-1 ) and moringa extract M.E (0,15, 20 g L-1) either in single addition or combination via split-plot experimental design during two successive seasons of 2021/2022 and 2022/2023. the different rates of yeast and moringa extracts significantly affected growth performance, quantitative and qualitative yield indicators. The values of most studied parameters increased as the rate of yeast or moringa extracts increased. Except for malondialdehyde (MDA), the maximum values were observed when yeast extract was sprayed at a rate of 150 ml L-1 in combination with moringa extract at rate of 20 g L-1. Additionally, the control treatment, which involved plants grown without yeast extract and moringa extract, exhibited the highest levels of MDA (as it is an indicator of oxidative stress). In contrast, the combined treatment of yeast extract (150 ml L-1) and moringa extract (20 g L-1) resulted in the lowest levels of MDA. This suggests that applying yeast and moringa extracts helped mitigate the oxidative stress and induced salinity tolerance of strawberries, thus improving the performance and yield.
