Abstract:
The present investigation was carried out on fifteen genotypes of strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) to ascertain the extent of variability present in the material and association among different traits. On the basis of results it is concluded that ‘Sweet Charlie’ was earliest to flower and duration of flowering was longest in ‘Chandler’ (97.08 days). ‘Elyana’ outscored other cultivar for prolonged flowering duration (219.50), flower size (2.84 cm), fruit size (35.91×31.40 mm), number of fruits/plant (32.93) and total yield (6.77 kg/plot). TSS content was highest in ‘Selva’ and titratable acidity in ‘Etna’ (0.94%) while ‘Sweet Charlie’ had maximum (8.02%) total sugars.
