Abstract:
To know the performance of strawberry as influenced by humic acid and water soluble fertilizers on reproductive parameters and yield parameters under naturally ventilated polyhouse. The study was made during 2017-18 with completely randomized design by taking fourteen treatments replicated thrice. The results revealed that application of 100% RDF through soil along with foliar application of humic acid (2%) + 19:19:19 (1%) + potassium nitrate (1%) recorded significantly lesser Days taken for stepping up stages of bud growth (13), first flower initiation (53.83), fruit set (58.29 days), Days taken from flower initiation to berry maturity (23.30), and higher bud size at different stages, Duration of flowering (72.90 days), maximum rate of anthesis and dehiscence took more at 10 am to12 pm, number of flowers per plant (24.74), fruits per plant (21.99) helped to get higher fruit yield of 4.55 Kg / plot followed by application of 75% RDF through soil along with foliar application of humic acid (2%) + 19:19:19 (1%) + potassium nitrate (1%) that yielded 386.67 Kg / pl.
