Abstract: In view of the internet rumors about strawberry hollow and deformity, forchlorfenuron was used on the two different strawberry varieties of Hongjia and Ningfeng in this study. The results showed that varieties were the main factors leading to the hollow and deformity of strawberry. In addition, application of forchlorfenuron would not increase the probability of hollow and malformation of strawberry. With the increase of strawberry individual enlargement, the risk of hollow and malformations would increase whether appling of forchlorfenuron or not.

Key words: forchlorfenuron, strawberry, hollow, malformation, Hongjia, Ningfeng
