MINERAL ELEMENT CONTENT OF ORGANICALLY VERSUS CONVENTIONALLY GROWN STRAWBERRIES

Fruit mineral content is vital to human health, with strawberries being rich in K, P, Mg, and Ca. This research compared organic and conventional strawberries grown on adjacent plots, utilizing microbial biostimulants. Results showed minor differences in mineral content, with bacterial inoculants enhancing uptake. However, no consistent nutritional advantage was found for organic fruits over conventional ones in terms of micronutrient content, suggesting that complex environmental factors heavily influence the final composition.
