This study clearly demonstrated that growing media could be used in open-field production of strawberry fruits. Based on the marketable yield data, it appears that 100% Coir and the PP mixture would be the most promising choices if growing media were to be used for strawberry production in open fields. The two media types not only possess the desirable physical and chemical proper-ties but also produced the largest strawberry plants and fruit yield which were comparable to that from the grower standard practice.
