Response of Chitosan Salicylic Acid Nanoformulations on Growth, Yield and Quality Attributes of Strawberry cv. Winter Dawn

A field experiment was conducted during 2022-23 at horticulture farm, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, MPUAT, Udaipur, Rajasthan, India. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with three replications. In this experiment, data showed that growth, yield and quality attributes of strawberry were significantly enhanced by Chitosan salicylic acid nanofromulation (CS-SA NF) @ 800-1200 ppm as compare to salicylic acid (SA) @ 100-300 ppm, bulk chitosan (BCH) @ 100-1200 ppm. According to the data the maximum values of growth attributes viz. plant height (25.92 cm), number of branches (11.84) and yield attributes viz. number of fruits per plant (28.68), fruit weight (20.02 g), yield per plant (659.65 g), estimated yield per hectare (366.47 qt.) and quality attributes viz. TSS (7.54 oBrix), ascorbic acid (62.91 mg/100g) and total sugar (7.30 %) were found maximum in CS-SA NF 800 ppm.
