Description Ph. D.
The present investigation entitled “Impact of integrated nutrient management on growth, yield and quality attributes in strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) cv. Chandler” was carried out during 2013-14 and 2014-15. The experiment was conducted at the Vegetable Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi (U.P.) India. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications and twelve treatments.
From the results obtained during the present investigation with different treatment combinations of INM on vegetative growth, yield and quality attributes in strawberry cv. Chandler, it is concluded that application of 100 NPK significantly increased the height of plant, plant spread, number of leaves, leaf length, leaf width leaf area/plant, fresh weight of leaves, dry weight of leaves, duration of harvesting and days taken to first flower. The number of flowers, number of fruits, fruit setting percentage were maximum in 75% NPK + Vermicompost + Azotobacter + PSB whereas, number of runners and crowns was maximum with application of 75% NPK + Vermicompost + Azotobacter + PSB. Maximum length, width, weight, volume, specific gravity and fruit yield were recorded with 75% NPK + Vermicompost + Azotobacter + PSB application. So far as the quality characters of strawberry fruits are concerned application of 50% NPK + Vermicompost + Azotobacter + PSB exhibited highest TSS, reducing sugar, non-reducing sugar, total sugar, TSS/Acid ratio, pH and minimum titratable acidity, whereas maximum titratable acidity and ascorbic acid were recorded under control. Chlorophyll, nitrogen and phosphorus were found maximum in 75% NPK + Vermicompost + Azotobacter+ PSB whereas, potassium and boron contents were maximum with75% NPK + FYM + Azotobacter + PSB fed plants. Calcium was recorded highest in 50% NPK + Vermicompost + Azotobacter + PSB. Iron and zinc were greatest in 50% NPK + Vermicompost + Azotobacter + PSB application. Maximum benefit: cost ratio was achieved through application of 75% NPK + FYM + Azotobacter + PSB which was followed by 75% NPK + Vermicompost + Azotobacter + PSB. Maximum net income was obtained from 75% NPK + Vermicompost + Azotobacter + PSB, followed by75% NPK + FYM +Azotobacter + PSB. The minimum benefit: cost ratio was found with 100% NPK whereas, net income was achieved minimum in control. On the basis of above findings it may be concluded that for getting substantial higher yield of quality fruits coupled with more propagating materials, the plants of strawberry should be fed with 50% NPK + Vermicompost + Azotobacter + PSB and 75% NPK + Vermicompost + Azotobacter + PSB in the plains of Uttar Pradesh, India.
