Abstract :Strawberry is one of the most popular fruits in Türkiye, and its cultivation is increasing due to its high adaptability to different climatic and soil conditions. Greenhouses and conventional agriculture are preferred in strawberry cultivation in terms of both growing conditions and the applicability of good agriculture and organic agriculture. Good agriculture and organic agriculture have increased their importance in achieving reliable and quality food, according to the World Health Organization insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(WHO);. For these reasons, the application compounds are increasing day by day. Accordingly, the types and varieties of organic compounds have increased. Albion strawberry cultivars were grown under calcareous soil conditions, and the effects of various organic component levels on yield and fruit quality were examined. In the experiment, vinasse, molasses, and vermicompost insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(liquid); were each employed at quantities of 2.5%, 5%, 7%, and 10%. Because of the treatments, a vinasse concentration of 2.5 % was shown to be more beneficial than the others on yield metrics such as yield per decare insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1664.89 kg); and yield per plant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(332.98 g); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(332.98 g);. There was a marked improvement in fruit quality between the molasses treatments and the other organic compound treatments. It was discovered that the treatment with molasses at a concentration of 2.5 % insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(15.94 %); had a greater TSS than the other treatments, whereas the treatment with molasses at a concentration of 5.0 % had to have a higher TAC of 1.058 %. Based on the results, strawberry farmers can be told that using vinas and molasses together is an effective way to increase strawberry yield and improve the quality of the fruit.
