Abstract

A pot experiment was conducted to study the influence of foliar nutrients and plant growth regulators on growth and yield of Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) under naturally ventilated polyhouse. The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design with eleven treatments and three replications. Results of the study revealed that the application of GA3 150 ppm (T9) showed maximum plant height (19.21 cm), plant spread in north-south and east-west direction (28.15 cm and 24.79 cm respectively.), number of trifoliate leaves (25.20), maximum number of crowns per plant (4.93), leaf area (127.78 cm2) and leaf area index (3.94), maximum number of runners per plant (5.29), minimum number of days taken for flowering (85.81 days), highest number of flowers (28.00) and fruits per plant (19.08), maximum yield per plant (299.36 g). Application of boron 0.6 per cent (T7) showed maximum fruit length (4.18 cm), fruit diameter (3.90 cm), fruit circumference (11.15 cm), maximum fruit weight (17.22 g) and fruit volume (21.78 cc).
