Abstract :This study was carried out to evaluate the impact of biofertilizer and cultivar on vegetative potential insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(height of the plant, number of crowns and leaves per plant, and the area of a single leaf);, leaf mineral composition insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(micro- and macroelements);, yield potential insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(number of inflorescences and fruit set per plant, yield per plant, and yield per square meter);, fruit characteristics insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(mass, length, width, and fruit shape index);, and chemical traits insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(soluble solids content, titratable acidity insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TA);, vitamin C, total anthocyanins insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TACY);, total phenolic content insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TPC);, and total antioxidant capacity insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TAC);); in the fruits of Clery, Joly and Dely strawberry plants. Two types of biofertilizer were applied: Biofertilizer 1 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(inoculums of the mixture of liquid bacteria cultures of the genera Azotobacter, Derxia, and Bacillus); and Biofertilizer 2 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(inoculums of liquid culture of diazotrophic bacteria belonging to the genus Klebsiella);. The applied biofertilizers made a significant impact on the parameters of vegetative potential and contents of some macroelements and microelements in the leaf, as well as the values of TA, TACY, TPC, and TAC. Cultivar demonstrated a significant impact on plant height and the number of crowns in it, leaf macroelement and microelement content, generative potential parameters, and morphometric and chemical fruit parameters.
