Evaluation of strawberry cultivars under shade net condition for growth and yield characteristics in Rajnandgaon district of Chhattisgarh plain region, India

Abstract

A research trial was carried out in the experimental field of Pt. K.L.S. College of Horticulture Rajnandgaon (C.G.) during the Year 2018-2019 to evaluate some strawberry under shade net condition in plain region of Chhattisgarh to assess different cultivars of strawberry under shade net condition in plain region of Chhattisgarh. Result revealed that Nabila produced higher vegetative growth (plant height, number of leaves, per plant spread and number of runner per plant) whereas the minimum vegetative growth in Capri Earliest flowering and fruiting was exhibited by Camarosa and Nabila whereas Capri was too late in flowering.
