Abstract

A study was conducted in 2023-24 at the Department of Horticulture, NAI, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P.). In the experiment, a total of eight treatments comprising of different levels of macro nutrients were used to investigate the effects of different levels of macro nutrients on growth, yield and quality of strawberry plants (Fragaria x ananassa L.) in a Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) System of Hydroponics. The experiment followed a Completely Randomised Design. According to the findings of this study, treatment T7: 23.5 ml NPK [3.5 (30 DAS) +5 (60 DAS) +7 (90 DAS) +8 (120 DAS)] ml was found best with vegetative attributes like [10.28 (30 DAT), 16.15 (60 DAT), 18.44 (90 DAT), 19.42 (120 DAT)] cm plant height, [17.45 (30 DAT), 23.69 (60 DAT), 24.36 (90 DAT), 25.48 (120 DAT)] cm plant spread, [17.45 (30 DAT), 23.69 (60 DAT), 24.36 (90 DAT), 25.48 (120 DAT)] number of leaves per plant, [4.67 (30 DAT), 7.89 (60 DAT), 11.45 (90 DAT), 12.91 (120 DAT)] cm2 leaf area and 28.81 cm root length; flowering attributes like 45.24 total number of flowers per plant, 55.64 days taken to first flowering and 81.64 days taken to first fruit set; yield attributes like .18.45 number of fruits per plant, 50.47 g average fruit weight and 18.63 kg yield per setup and quality attributes like 73.61 mg/100 g of pulp ascorbic acid, 14.32 moisture and dry weight ratio, 9.18 °brix Total Soluble Solids and 1.68 % titrable acidity.
