Abstract: During 1993 and 1994, the day-neutral strawberry cultivar Tribute was subjected to two rates of N (50 and 100 kg–ha–1), four rates of K (0, 60,120, and 180 kg–ha–1), and three rates of Mg fertilization (0, 25, and 50 kg–ha–1) from June to September through trickle irrigation. The objective of this experiment was to determine the best N, K, and Mg fertilization rates in the production of day-neutral `Tribute' strawberry. The N treatments had no significant influence on yield and fruit size for the two years. We observed the same situation for K as for N. For Mg treatments, fruit size was increased by adding 25 kg–ha–1 during the first picking in 1993, and they had no effect in the second year. For both years, the Mg had no effect on the yield.
