Abstract

The Experiment “Effect of an organic source of nutrients on growth yield and quality of strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) cv. Winter Dawn” was carried out during the year 2021-2022 in the Department ofHorticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology & Sciences Prayagraj in November2021 to March 2022. The result revealed that treatment T8 FYM (7.5t/ha) + Vermicompost (3.18t/ha) +PSB(5kg/ha) + Azotobacter (5kg/ha) was found to be best in terms of maximum plant height (14.26 cm),plant spread (23.8 cm), number of leaves per plant (9.58), number of days to first flowering (68.33), numberof flower per plant (22.8), number of days taken to first fruit set (5.63), Number of fruit per plant (18.3),Fruit yield per plant (504.44g), fruit yield (45.3 t ha-1), Vitamin C (87.94 mg/100g, acidity (0.33%), Totalsoluble solids (12.41°Brix)
