Abstract
A field experiment was undertaken at B.B.A. University, Lucknow (U.P.) during the year 2018-19 and 2019-20 to study the effect of plant growth regulators and mulches on growth and yield of strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) cv. Chandler. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with seventeen treatments and three replications. The results revealed that the different plant growth regulators and mulches affect on growth and yield of strawberry. Maximum plant height (24.4cm), number of leaves per plant (28.5), length of leaves (9.4cm) and length of the petiole (12.4cm).number of flower per plant (30.1), number of fruit per plant (24.1) and fruit weight per berry (13.6g) were recorded with GA3 75ppm + black polyethylene. On the other hand, minimum values of these parameters were recorded in treatment Control. The minimum days taken to produce the first flower (31.3days), days taken to 50% flowering (43.0days) were recorded with NAA 20ppm +black polyethylene, and the maximum days recorded with treatment control.
