The study, which was conducted from January to April 2023, examined the ‘Influence of Zinc, Iron, and Organic Manure on the Growth and Quality Attributes of Strawberry’ research farm at Desh Bhagat University in the Mandi Gobindgarh region of Fatehgarh Sahib, Punjab. With ten treatments and five replications, the experiment uses a fully Random Block Design (RBD). Ten distinct degrees of treatment were available. T1 = Zinc Sulphate (0.2%) + Organic Manure (5%), T2 = Iron Sulphate (0.2%) + Organic Manure (5%), T3 = Zinc Sulphate (0.4%) + Organic Manure (10%), T4 = Iron Sulphate (0.4%) + Organic Manure (10%), T5 = Zinc Sulphate (0.6%) + Organic Manure (15%), T6 = Zinc Sulphate (0.6%) + Organic Manure (20%), T7 = Zinc Sulphate (0.8%) + organic manure (20%), T8 = Iron Sulphate + Organic Manure (20%), T9 = Zinc Sulphate (0.8%) + Iron Sulphate (0.8%) + Organic Manure (20%), and T10 = Control. Using the chandler variety of strawberry (Fragaria ananassa Duch.), the experiment quality-attributing characteristics were noted every seven days. The highest levels of height of plant, plant spread, petiol length, number of leaves and leaf area per plant content were found in the treatments 0.8% ZnSO4 + 20% Organic manure + 0.8% FeSO4 + 20% Organic manure

Organic Manure, Quality Attributes and micronutrients

On the basis of results obtained in present investigation, it can be concluded that plants treated with T9 {Zinc sulphate (0.8%) + Iron sulphate (0.8%) + Organic manure (20%)} significantly increased the vegetative growth (height of plant, plant spread, petiol length, number of leaves and leaf area per plant) as compare to control. Further research and experimentation are recommended to validate these results in different environmental conditions and crop species
