Abstract
Globally grown and consumed, strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa) are prized for their vivid red colour, juicy texture, and sweet flavour. Strawberries are a nutrient-dense complement to a well-balanced diet since they are a great source of vital minerals like potassium, vitamins C and K, and antioxidants. The demand for fresh fruits is rising worldwide, which is driving up the production of organic fruits. As demand increases, there is an urgent need to increase fruit output while considering the health consequences of fertilizers. Biofertilizers such as vermicompost, phosphate solubilizers, and nitrogen-fixing bacteria are crucial to sustainable gardening practices. Despite growing consumer awareness of the adverse effects of agrochemicals, there remains a shortage of organic producers. This review consolidates existing knowledge on the impact of different fertilizers on strawberry crops, aiming to guide future cultivation practices for optimal fruit quality and yield.
