Abstract:
Performance and evaluation of cultivars for specific location helps in obtaining better economic yield. In the present study six cultivars of strawberry were grown in a naturally ventilated polyhouse in Randomized block design (RBD) with four replications at College of Horticulture, Sri Konda Laxman Telangana State Horticultural University, Hyderabad during 2018-19 and 2019-20. The analysis of variance suggests that they were significant differences for all vegetative, yield and quality traits. The maximum fruit weight (15.81 and 16.05g), yield per plant (204.32 and 210.97 g) was recorded for Cultivar Winter Dawn. Similarly it also showed minimum number of days to emergence of first flower (74.51 and 76.34 days), maximum fruit set (83.45 and 85.17 %), anthocyanin (62.89 and 64.01 mg/100g) and ascorbic acid (47.38 and 48.10 mg/100g) content.
