Effect of Trico capsule and different organic manure on growth, yield and quality of strawberry (Fragaria ananassa L.)

Abstract

The research work on “Effect of Trico Capsule and Different Organic Manure on Growth, Yield and Quality f Strawberry (Fragaria ananassa L.)” was carried out in 2023-24 at the Horticulture field, Department of Horticulture, (fruit science), Naini Agricultural Institute (NAI) SHUATS, Prayagraj, U.P. India. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with 10 treatments which were replicated thrice. The treatments were T0 (Control), T1 (100% RDN), T2 (75% RDN + 25% N through FYM), T3 (75% RDN + 25% N through V.C), T4 (75% RDN + 25% N through FYM + Trico capsule), T5 (75% RDN + 25% N through V.C. + Trico capsule), T6 (50% RDN + 50% N through FYM), T7 (50% RDN + 50% N through V.C), T8 (50% RDN + 50% N through FYM + Trico capsule), T9 (50% RDN + 50% N through V.C. + Trico capsule). On the basis of our experimental finding it is concluded that the treatment T5 (75% RDN + 25% N through V.C. + Trico capsule) was found to be best in the terms of plant vegetative growth, earliness in flowering and fruiting, fruiting parameters, yield parameters, quality and economic with B:C ratio (3.65).
