Abstract: Three cultivars of strawberry ( Frageria × ananassa Duch. cvs. Redcoat, Midway and K68-108) were grown in sand culture and supplied with 4 levels of Boron interacted with 3 levels of Phosphorous. Leaf B values of 2-5 ppm were associated with B deficiency symptoms in ‘Redcoat’ and K68-108. Maximum vegetative growth was obtained when leaf B ranged from 58-116 ppm for ‘Redcoat’ and K68-108 and from 14-33 ppm for ‘Midway’. Leaf P and B were increased when P and B levels in the nutrient treatments increased, however there were no significant leaf P-B interactions exhibited. Leaf Ca increased and leaf K decreased as each cultivar approached maximum growth. Leaf B values for ‘Redcoat’ and K68-108 that were associated with maximum growth were similar to those associated with maximum growth in rutabagas, sugarbeets, barley and several forages. ‘Midway’ was found to be very sensitive to B additions.
