Abstract

This study investigated the profitability of open field crop rotation and greenhouse green fertilization along with farmland manure applications implemented to ensure sustainability of soil fertility in strawberry cultivation performed in line with the organic farming principles. In the open field experiment (1) Cowpea (Vigna sinensis L.), (2) Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), (3) Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) were used as the crop rotation plants. In the greenhouse experiment 1) Cowpea (Vigna sinensis L.), (2) Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.),) were used as green fertilizations. Also this study investigated the impact of certified organic farmland manure as [(1) farmland manured and (2) farmland manure-free] on the parcels. The study compared the profitability in organic strawberry cultivation between crop rotation application in open field and green manure incorporation under soil by conducting a financial analysis. To conclude, result of the financial analysis indicated that both in greenhouse and open field, the application which combined Cowpea and farmland manure was found to be more economical.
