<![CDATA[Strawberries are one of the fruit commodities that have high economic value and relatively stable fruit prices. However, the annual production of strawberry plants in Indonesia has decreased due to land conversion. To overcome the problem of limited land, cultivation vertically can be a solution. Strawberry plants can be cultivated vertically because they meet the criteria of verticulture plants. However, vertical cultivation with vertical pipes on strawberry plants is feared to have problems with uneven distribution of nutrients on the pipes. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of fertilizer types and fertilization methods on the growth and yield of strawberry plants on verticulture systems. And find the fertilization method that is most suitable for verticulture cultivation of strawberries. The research was conducted from March to June 2018 on the 6th floor rooftop of the UB Central Building, Malang with a height of around 440-667 MASL, and the average temperature at Rooftop 320C. This study used a randomized block design (RBD) with 7 treatments and 4 replications. The treatment consists of G1 = AB Mix per pipe, G2 = AB Mix per plant, G3 = NPK per pipe, G4 = NPK per plant, G5 = Dekastar per pipe, G6 = Dekastar per plant, G7 = Gandasil B per plant. The use of AB mix fertilizers both per pipe and per plant is the right fertilization in verticulture cultivation because it can improve the vegetative and generative parameters of strawberry plants.]]>
