Abstract:The goal of this paper was to determine the ideal amount of Yerba Mate Residue (YMR) in substrate composition for strawberry cultivation in a semihydroponic system. In this sense, a greenhouse experiment was installed in a fully randomized design with four replications and eight treatments with the following compositions: 0, 10, 20, 30, 50, 75 and 100% of YMR in the substrate. The treatments with YMR received, in the mixture, 5% limestone + rock phosphate + spent vermiculite and the remaining carbonized rice husk (CRH). As for the 0% YMR treatment, it was used only commercial substrate. The evaluated variables were: number of defective fruits, fruit size, number and mass of fruits per plant, and the chemical and physical composition of the substrates. In conclusion, the use of up to 30% of YMR in the substrate composition favors the production of strawberries in number, size and mass of fruits.
