Abstract:
Among the fruit crops, Strawberry is the one of the important fruit crop. An experiment was conducted at research field, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture Technology and Science, Naini, Allahabad, during the year 2014-2015, the experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design having ten treatments of micronutrients at different levels and one micronutrient combination with three replications. The observations were recorded on vegetative growth and yield related traits. The result revealed that treatment T
6 was found to be best in terms of maximum plant height (20.11cm), plant spread (30.33cm), number of leaves (30.33), petiole length (16.83 cm), number of flowers per plant (32.34), number of fruits per plant (30.26), fruit yield per plant (474.34 g), and benefit cost ratio (2.71) whereas T
7 registered maximum fruit set (93.47%) and T
4 recorded for maximum fruit weight (16.54g).
