The growth, yield characteristics and nutritional requirements of strawberry cv. ‘Redgauntlet’ grown in a deep flow technique (DFT) hydroponic system for 60 days were assessed. There were no tank effects on the growth and yield of strawberries, and truss development in summer was not influenced by the 60 day growing period. The requirement of nitrate-nitrogen, magnesium, calcium and manganese increased with time, and plant components showed specific requirements during fruiting with flowers having a high demand for calcium and magnesium, stems for potassium, and roots and leaves for nitrate-nitrogen and magnesium.
