Low tunnel protected cultivation of organically grown strawberry (winter dawn)
was carried out to standardize the cladding material and the height of structure for enhancing the
yield and post-harvest quality in Punjab North India. Three different design of low tunnels i.e.
three different heights; 45 cm, 60 cm and 75 cm and three claddings; thin plastic film (50 microns),
UV stabilised plastic sheet (200 microns) and non-woven film (20 GSM) were used in the trials.
Microclimate parameters, soil moisture and soil temperature inside the installed structures were
analyzed throughout the experiments. The maximum yield of crop, number of fruits (45), maximum
weight (28g) was observed in the tunnel of size 45 cm with non-woven 20 GSM followed by UV 200
micron of 60 cm height and minimum values were observed in other structures and open. All the
tunnels maintained favourable soil and canopy temperature for the growth of crop and it was
observed that crop grown inside tunnels were protected from any kind of frost injury and exhibited
better post-harvest quality than the strawberry grown in open.
