propertiesThe pH of the growing media mixes and the native soil wasslightly acidic to neutral at the beginning of the field experiment(Table 1). Relatively lower pH values were found in Coir, PP, and PCRthan in PR or the field soil. At the end of experiment, pH values forall growing media and the soil went up slightly but still remainednearly neutral (Table 2). These pH values are suited for strawberryproduction because the slightly acidic conditions would facilitatemaximum uptake of nutrient elements
