Soilless cultures become more and more popular. To grow plants and get yield soil is no more needed as a growing media – only for support. In Latvia we do not have such a big problem with soil sanitary state for soilless growing to become the main technology, but going on with currently used growing technologies we can be in such situation in near future. To determine soil fertility many parameters are applied. In this study soil respiration, respiration ferment DHA (dehydrogenase) activity is determined to get an overlook of soil fertility in strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) – legume intercrop. Experiment was carried out at Pūre Horticultural research centre. Measurements were made in traditional and in intercropped treatments – seven in total. Broad beans (Vicia faba), peas (Pisum sativum) and clover (Trifolium hybridum) was used in intercrop. Results showed significantly higher soil activity in intercrop with beans and clover. This growing technology may be applied and researched in other growing systems to know its impact on soil and on environment.
