In 2018, organic strawberry culture is becoming more and more important but knowledge concerning best practices is still contradictory. The behavior of 4 four strawberry cultivars - 'Alba’, 'Asia’, 'Clery’ and 'Joly’ under two different types of mulch (agrotextile and polyethylene) and three fertilization treatments (poultry manure, poultry manure combined with liquid NPK, and liquid NPK) has been studied in climate conditions from Satu-Mare, Romania. Observations were made on fruits set and yield at end of the first growing season. The size of the fruit was related to the rank of the flower from which the fruit was developed. The best behaviors among the tested varieties undergoing the various treatments had 'Clery’ and 'Joly’ showing high productivity.
