Strawberries are highly appreciated due to their characteristic flavor and nutritional value. Fruit quality is essential to ensure market acceptance and crop profitability. It is essential to adopt practices and strategies during cultivation that can produce and maintain good fruit quality post-harvest. In this sense, foliar fertilization with silicon can improve the firmness, color and quality of the fruits. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of foliar fertilization with silicon on the post-harvest quality of strawberry fruits of the ‘Albion’ cultivar. The experiment was carried out in a semi-hydroponic system in the city of Camanducaia, MG. The design was randomized blocks, with four replications, with the experimental plot composed of 16 plants, of which the 10 central plants were considered useful. The treatments consisted of six doses of silicon (0; 1.5; 3.0; 4.5; 6.0 and 7.5mL L-1) applied via foliar application, at intervals of 15 days after transplanting. Fruits with 75% red coloration were harvested, packaged, and stored at room temperature on laboratory benches. Characteristics of soluble solids, pulp firmness, sepal darkening, and fruit color were evaluated using a spectrophotometer and visual scale. Although a pronounced effect of foliar fertilization was not observed in this study, the 3.0mL L-1 silicon treatment was more efficient in maintaining the quality attributes evaluated here, especially up to the 3rd day of evaluation.
