Abstract
The present investigation was carried out during 2023-24 at Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh to study the effect of calcium chelate and carbonic powder on growth, yield and quality of Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) cv. Winter Dawn under agro-climatic conditions of Prayagraj. The experiment was laid out in RBD, replicated 3 times with 16 treatments with different combinations. The characters of growth, yield and quality characters are noted. Based on above characters it is concluded that treatment combination T15 (Calcium chelate (5g/L)+Carbonic powder (5g/L)+RDF(19:19:19) performed best in terms of plant height (cm) (33.74), plant spread (cm) (41.18), number of leaves per plant (44.01) , petiole length (cm) (14.96) , days to first flowering (40.18) , days to first fruiting (48.57), number of flower per plant (20.62), number of fruit per plant (16.30), fruit weight (gm) (40.78),fruit per plant (g) (664.77) , fruit yield t ha-1 (26.59) , TSS 0brix (10.45), juice content (%) (94.58) and pH(3.17) of strawberry. Importance of conducting this experiment is defined that calcium chelate and carbonic powder improves the fruit size, fruit weight and firmness. So, the quality and shelf-life of a fruit also increases. It will help to export the fruits to other countries.
