A study was conducted to find the best kind of basal dressing manure and determine the appropriate quantity of nitrogen application necessary for securing lasting and stable shipments of the strawberry cultivar, 'AMAOU', which is raised in Fukuoka Prefecture, from January to February. When a basal dressing of nitrogen was applied at 8kg per 10a with special manure manufactured for use on TOYONOKA strawberries or at 12kg per 10a with special manure made for use on AMAOU strawberries, a yield lasting from November to December could be secured. Moreover, the number of leaves emerging between the first fruit cluster and the secondary fruit cluster decreased, and the yield from January to February rose in the early-season of 'AMAOU' strawberry culturing carried out in Fukuoka Prefecture. The total yield tended to rise when special manure for AMAOU strawberries was dressed because the effect of the fertilizer lasted until the end of March. Its effect lasted longer than that of the manure used for TOYONOKA strawberries. The most suitable quantity for basal dressing of nitrogen application was 12kg per 10a using special manure for AMAOU strawberries during the early-season of their culturing.
