Effect of Growth Regulators on Growth and Quality of Strawberry cv. Sweet Sensation Grown in Pot Culture

A pot culture experiment was conducted at Institute of Agriculture, Visva-Bharati, Sriniketan, West Bengal, India during the rabi season (October, 2018–March, 2019) to study the effect of growth regulators such as 28-Homobrassinolide and Triacontanol on growth and yield of strawberry cv. Sweet Sensation. The treatments consisted of seven levels of growth regulators including control viz. control, 0.5 ppm, 1 ppm and 2 ppm of 28-Homobrassinolide and 2ppm, 5 ppm and 10 ppm of Triacontanol. The effect of growth regulators was studied on different morpho-physiological parameters and biochemical and quality parameters such as chlorophyll content of leaves, ascorbic acid, titratable acidity and TSS of fruit. The results revealed that the foliar application of 0.5 ppm of 28-Homobrassinolide produced the maximum plant height, number of leaves plant-1, petiole length, canopy spread, leaf area plant-1, crown diameter, shoot dry weight and root dry weight, RWC, number of flowers plant-1, number of fruits plant-1, percent fruit set, fruit length and fruit diameter, chlorophyll content of leaves, whereas the treatment of 1 ppm of 28-Homobrassinolide recorded maximum plant height, petiole length. However, the minimum value of the morphological, biochemical, yield and quality parameters were recorded in control (foliar spray of water). Hence form present study it may be confirmed that foliar application of 28-Homobrassinolide @ 0.5 ppm and 1 ppm significantly improved the growth, yield, and quality attributes of strawberry.

Studies on the Effect of Plant Growth Regulators on Growth and Yield of Strawberry cv. (Winter Dawn) Under Protected Cultivation

The experiment entitled “Studies on the Effect of Plant Growth Regulators on Growth and Yield of Strawberry cv. (Winter Dawn) Under Protected Cultivation” was conducted at experimental field of Department of Horticulture, Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab during 2021-22. The report's findings showed that strawberry plants responded very well to the application of plant growth regulators. GA3 100 ppm gave the best result in vegetative growth, plant height, spread, leaves per plant, days taken to first flower and fruiting. When GA3 75 ppm gave best in fruit length, weight, diameter, Total soluble solid, total sugar, acidity of strawberry.

Influence of plant bio-regulators on growth, yield and quality of strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch) CV. Sweet Charlie

The present study indicates that the growth, yield contributing characters and yield of strawberry cv. Sweet Charlie fruits were significantly influence by various bio-regulators. Among different bio-regulators GA3 75 ppm recorded the significantly the highest yield 33.71 t ha−1. However, the highest values with respect to different growth parameters, viz., Plant height (18.19 cm) was recorded with NAA 400 ppm, while the highest (26.72 cm) NS plant spread was recorded with application of GA3 25 ppm. The maximum plant spread (EW) (27.20 cm) was recorded with GA3 75 ppm. Among different yield contributing characters viz., berry weight (14.49 g), number of berries per plant (46.68) and yield per plant (674.33g), GA3 75 ppm showed superiority than other plant bio-regulators. The maximum TSS (10.610Brix) was also recorded in GA3 75 ppm.

Effect of mulching on soil properties, growth and yield of strawberry cv. Chandler under mid hill conditions of Uttarakhand

The organic and inorganic mulches were tried in strawberry cv. Chandler. Mulching with organic materials was quite effective in improving the chemical properties of soil, i.e., pH, electrical conductivity, organic carbon content, available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and viable bacterial count. Their values increased as compared to control and inorganic mulches (black polythene, transparent polythene, silver colour polythene). Mulching treatments encouraged plant growth, yield, effectively checked the weed growth and also regulated soil temperature. The cost per plot and hectare basis showed that inorganic mulches are very expensive and also does not incorporate any humus in the soil. Contrary to this, paddy straw is locally and easily available, showed better response followed by Eupatorium adenophorum sprengel. Therefore, their use over a number of years would be helpful in improving the soil fertility.

Effects of different mulches and irrigation methods on root growth, nutrient uptake, water-use efficiency and yield of strawberry

Field studies were conducted for two consecutive years under sub-temperate climatic conditions at Nauni in district Solan of Himachal Pradesh (30°52′N, 77°11′E 1175 asl) on loamy sand Inceptisols to investigate the effect of different mulches (hay: HM, black polyethylene: BP) on root growth, nutrient uptake, water-use efficiency (WUE) and yield of strawberry cv. Chandler under drip (DI) and surface irrigation (SI) systems. Unmulch (UM) and rainfed treatments were kept as control. Higher soil moisture content was registered under both the mulch materials during entire crop growth period. However, it was greater under BP mulch as compare to HM. The moisture conservation increased by 2.80–12.80% under BP mulch as compared to UM. HM treatment, irrespective of irrigation method increased the minimum soil temperature (2.8–5.2 °C) and reduced the maximum soil temperature (2.7–5.8 °C) as compared to UM. BP mulch increased the minimum soil temperature from 0.4 to 2.5 °C. Application of irrigation moderated the soil (minimum 2.6 and maximum 1.4 °C) temperature. Both the mulch materials were effective in enhancing root growth, nutrient uptake, WUE and yield. Application of mulch enhanced the root growth (63%), nutrient uptake (179.20%), WUE (84.40%) and yield (343%) under DI. However, respective increase under SI was 23.60, 83.80, 109.40 and 219.20%. Under DI, 51% of irrigation water was saved and about 19% higher fruit yield was obtained as compared with SI treatment. Linear regression model could significantly describe the variations in nutrient uptake (N, P and K) and WUE of strawberry under sub-temperate climatic conditions, root mass density was better indicator for estimating nutrient uptake of strawberry.
