The Effect of Organic Nutrient Complex and Potassium on Strawberry

In the present study different growth and yield parameters were evaluated under five treatments. Among two experiments in Experiment 1 Organic Nutrient Complex (ONC) were used in 5 different treatments of 3 replications (T0= Control, T1= 200 g/6.75 m², T2= 400 g/6.75m², T3= 600 g/6.75m², T4= 800 g/6.75m²). In Experiment 2, 5 different treatments of Potassium were used with 3 replications (T0=Control, T1=135 g/6.75m², T2=270 g/6.75m², T3=407 g/6.75m², T4=540 g/6.75m²). The experiment was conducted at ARS Baffäs field in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. In both the experiments mulching was applied at the same time (13th, Nov 2013). Average values of each qualitative and quantitative characters of strawberry were evaluated according to Least Significant Difference (LSD) statistical test. In both the experiments Results, showed highest yield in T3 (600 g/6.75m²) for most of the parameters.Our findings showed great variations in morphological, physical and agronomic traits of strawberry variety. These variations may be exploited to develop high yield and better quality of strawberry.
