Strawberries intercropped with legumes refer to a new method of growing technology investigated in Latvia. It is important to know which yield influencing factors are subject to change when analysing the new method of growing technology. Light is very important for strawberry quality, especially soluble solid content which makes berries tastier. Intercropping strawberries with higher leaf canopy culture affects the light quality in the strawberry row to the north side of interplant. This study is based on one year data from the intercropping research done at Pūre Horticultural Research Centre in 2015. The trial consisted of four variants with different interplant in each – broad bean (Vicia faba var. major L.), pea (Pissum sativum L.), alsike clover (Trifolium hybridum L.) and the control without interplant. Soluble solid content was measured once and there were no significant differences between the north and the south side of interplant but significant differences were recorded between variants. The results of the beginning of yielding season differed among variants but not the sides, but in total there were no significant differences in total marketable yield. In conclusion, according to one year data, intercropping strawberries with legumes give no negative effect on strawberry yield and sweetness. The further research needs to be carried out to confirm these results.
