Effect of organic, inorganic and bio-fertilizer on growth, flowering, yield and quality of strawberry (Fragaria × Ananassa Duch.) cv. Chandler

An experiment was carried out during the two subsequent year i.e. 2010-11 and 2011-12 to study the effect of organic, inorganic and bio-fertilizer on vegetative growth, flowering and yield of strawberry cv. Chandler. There were fourteen treatments replicated thrice in randomized block design. Treatments comprise different levels of organic, inorganic and bio-fertilizers at diverse combination.

As for as yield is concerned it was noted that treatment (T13) produced maximum yield, whereas minimum yield was recorded in untreated plants i.e. control.IntroductionCultivated strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Strawberry fruits are attractive with distinctDuch.) is an octoploid species (2n = 8x = 56) pleasant aroma and flavour, consumed asbelonging to the genus Fragaria of the family dessert and also have a special demand by theRosaceae. The modern cultivated strawberry fruit processing units for the preparation ofarose in Europe in the 18th century as a jams, ice cream, syrups, etc. Characteristicchance cross between two American native aroma in strawberries is due to presence ofspecies, F. virginiana and F. chiloensis. It is volatile esters. It is one of the important fruitherbaceous crop with prostate growth habit, in the world.
