Strawberry cultivation has a large place worldwide and is grown in a wide range of climates. In order to reach optimum strawberry fruit yield and quality, plants must receive the macro and micronutrients they need. Nutrient elements move through xylem vascular bundles in plants. and nutrient uptake can be increased by increasing the diameter of xylem bundles. In the study, plant growth, anatomy and fruit quality were examined after application of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) at different times under low-dose fertilization. The results noted that SNP significantly contributed to the growth, physiology and fruit quality. When plant growth was examined, the highest value was found in 3-times SNP application compared to all other treatments. The lowest malondialdehyde (MDA) accumulation was determined in plants treated with 3-times SNP. As a result of 2 and 3-times SNP applications, chlorophyll a, b, and a + b concentrations showed the highest value. Total phenolic acid was highest in the control followed by 3-times SNP applications. As a result of nutrient deficiency, cell growth was inhibited. While 3-times SNP application showed the highest xylem diameter, the lowest values were determined in 1/4 Hoagland application (quarter dose fertilizer). As a result of the study, it was determined that 3-times SNP application was the most appropriate application when all parameters were considered and 3-times SNP application could be recommended under nutrient deficiency conditions or for saving fertilizer.
