Abstract:
A study was conducted experimental site of Department of Horticulture Lovely professional university (phagwara) during 2020-2021 to study the impact of Integrated nutrients management on growth, yield and quality parameters of strawberry cv. Winter down. The runners of strawberry var. winter down was transplanted at first week of November with a spacing of 30 × 30 cm. The experiments was laid out in Randomised block design with 10 treatments replicated thrice. Result indicated that there was stabilized rise in plant height, plant spreading, number of leaves per plant and quite low at later stage of growth. The maximum plant height, higher number of leaves per plant, leaf area, chlorophyll content, plant spreding was recorded in T7 ( 50% RDF + Vermicompost + Azotobacter) and minimum in control. On the other side the biochemical parameters like fruit weight, fruit lenth, fruit TSS, ascorbic acid /100 gm pulp, and acidity was also observed higher in T7 along with higher yield per plant.
