Abstract:
An experiment was carried out during October, 2020 to March, 2021 at Horticulture Farm, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur, Rajasthan during to work out the most suitable foliar spray of micronutrient (Fe, Zn and B) in different concentration to obtain better growth, yield and quality of strawberry. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with a total of eleven treatments replicated thrice. Result showed that the treatment combination (S₁₀) comprising RDF + Borax (0.2%) + ZnSO₄ (0.2%) + FeSO₄ (0.2%) recorded highest values in terms of petiole length (8.57 cm), number of leaves (25.07), plant spread i.e. E-W (28.37 cm) and N-S (27.37 cm), runner per plant (5.87), days to final harvest (115.07 days), number of picking (17.07), fruit length (36.03 mm), fruit width (27.17 mm), length diameter ratio (1.24), fresh weight of fruit (12.32 g), fruit per plant (16.20), fruit yield per plant (198 g) and recorded lowest in term of days to first flower initiation (56.47 days), days to initiation of fruit set (59.40 days), days to first harvest (73.07 days).
