Growth Factors for a Strawberry Crop are Affected by Microalgae and Vermicompost

Abstract

A Randomized Block Design (RBD) field experiment was conducted in Central Research Farm (CRF) at Department of Plant Pathology, SHUATS, Prayagraj, U.P. during the Rabi season of 2019-2020 in pots. Growth factors for a strawberry crop are affected by microalgae and vermicompost different dose of microalgae and vermicompost on number of leaves and height per plant of strawberry at 30, 60 and 90 DAT under field condition.
  The maximum number of leaves (per plant) was recorded T9 @ Microalgae 8g + vermicompost (16, 18 and 23.50 per plant, respectively) followed by T6 @ Microalgae @ 5g/pot + Vermicompost (15.75, 20.00 and 21.50 per plant, respectively) at 30, 60 and 90 DAT, respectively. The treatment T9 @ Microalgae 8g + vermicompost recorded maximum plant height (cm) (14.80, 23.03 and 28.58 cm, respectively) followed by T8 @ Microalgae @ 7g/pot + Vermicompost (14.13, 22.23 and 26.43cm, respectively) at 30, 60 and 90 DAT, respectively.  Shows significant increment in the number of leaves per plant, at different intervals and all the other treatments were non-significate among each other. And all the treatments showed significant result in comparison to control treatment.
