Abstract
Background: Strawberry has started gaining attention in the Assam region since past few years. But, due to sufficient knowledge in varieties and cultivation package, farmers were not able to yield satisfying results. Methods: In this context, an experiment was conducted to study the performance of various strawberry varieties namely Sabrina, Winter Dawn, Chandler, Sweet Charlie, Cristal, Selva and Camarosa with different dates of planting like 1st November, 15th November, 1st December and 15th December under open conditions and fifty per cent shade net conditions. Result: Results revealed that the Variety Sweet Charlie was found to have the highest values of Anthocyanin content (21.07 mg/100 g and 18.71 mg/100 g), total soluble solids content (7.62°Brix and 6.88°Brix) and Total sugars (6.07% and 4.60%) in both the growing conditions. In addition Sweet Charlie also showed impressive results amongst the varieties in calcium content (9.51 mg/100 g and 9.41 mg/100 g) and Phosphorus content (1.15 mg/100 g and 1.09 mg/100 g) in open conditions and fifty percent shade net conditions respectively. Finally, the best variety found was Sweet Charlie and the best date of planting was found to be the 15th of November which showed highest values of all the biochemical parameters along with the mineral content.
