Abstract

A field experiment was carried out at Garden, Department of Fruit Science, C.S. Azad University of Agriculture and Technology Kanpur (U.P.) during two subsequent years i.e., 2018-19 and 2019-20 to investigate the effect of gibberellic acid and boron on growth, yield and yield attributory traits in strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.). Four concentrations each of GA3 (0, 50, 75, and 100ppm) and Boron (0, 0.10, 0.25, and 0.50%) along with their combinations were used in Factorial Completely Randomized Design, which were replicated thrice. In strawberry use of Gibberellic acid (GA3) rushed early flowering along with the expanded duration of blossoming, harvesting by increasing the yield and quality boundaries. The utilization of boron helps in the movement of sugar and advances fruit bud formation. It was inferred that 75 ppm of GA3 and 0.50% boron were applied individually as well as their combinations, maximized plant height (cm), number of leaves, plant spread (cm), number of runner

Keywords

Strawberry, Gibberellic acid, Boron, Growth, Yield and Yield attributory traits.

Conclusion

Based on the results obtained, it is concluded that individual application of both GA3 at 75 ppm and boron 0.50 % significantly maximized vegetative growth, yield attributes and yield of strawberry. Application of GA3 @ 75ppm associated with boron @ 0.50% significantly enhanced the yield (q/ha) in strawberry. The achievements of the present investigation are of paramount significance and possess great potential in improving the economy and prosperity of the country.
