Impact of different spacing and combination with organic manures on growth and yield attributes of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) cv. Jutoh special under mid-hill conditions of Uttarakhand

Abstract

The present investigation entitled Effect of Spacing and Organic Manures on Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) cv. Jutogh Special under Mid-Hill Conditions of Uttarakhand was carried out at the Fruit Nursery, College of Horticulture, VCSG UUHF, Bharsar, Pauri Garhwal during the month of July 2018 to June 2019. The experiment was performed to find out the most suitable treatment combination for better yield and profitability to farmers. The experiment was laid out in a factorial Randomized Complete Block Design with nine treatments and three replications. The treatments comprise of different spacing with the combination of different Organic manures. Result obtained in present investigation showed that the plant spread, number of leaves per plant, leaf area, number of flowers per plant, duration of flowering, duration of fruiting, fruit set, yield per plant, yield per plot,TSS, Ascorbic acid, total sugar and antocyanin content were observed maximum with the treatment combination of S2M3 (30 cm × 30 cm) + Vermicompost (T6).
