    In Ecuador, strawberry cultivation (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) has experienced a resurgence due to its profitability as a highly accepted fruit and its importance as a source of income for rural families. Therefore, efforts have been made to optimize fertilization as a means to enhance production. In this context, the present study focused on evaluating the performance of two strawberry varieties, Albion and Monterrey (V1 and V2), in response to different doses of Biol MM (0% as the control, 25%, 35%, 45%, 55%), combined with Humic Acids. An experimental design of randomized complete blocks (RCB) in a 2x5 factorial arrangement was implemented, with four replications. Applications of the biofertilizers Biol MM and Humic Acids were carried out weekly from planting to the final harvest. The results revealed that the Monterrey variety significantly outperformed the Albion variety in terms of fruit weight, as well as the variable of fruit number, especially at the 45% Biol MM dose. On the other hand, concerning the Brix Degrees variable, the Albion variety demonstrated better performance at the 55% dose, also with significant differences. These findings conclusively demonstrate that the influence of the biofertilizers used in this project had a positive impact on strawberry cultivation, significantly improving its yield.
