Impact of Biofertilizers and Organic Manures on the Nutritional Content and Fruit Yield of Strawberries (Fragaria ananassa Duch.)

The experiment was carried out at the Bhai Gurdas Degree College's Agriculture Research Centre in Sangrur, Punjab, India, between 2023 and 2024. Chandler is the cultivar that was applied in the study. RBD was used to set up the experiment, which consisted of ten treatments and three replications. In the experiment, organic manure and biofertilizers were utilized in ten treatments: T1 (FYM + Azospirillum), T2 (FYM + PSB), T3 (FYM + Azotobacter), T4 (Vermicompost + Azospirillum), T5 (Vermicompost + PSB), T6 (Vermicompost + Azotobacter), T7 (Poultry manure + Azospirillum), T8 (Poultry manure + PSB), T9 (Poultry manure + Azotobacter), and T10 (Control). Under T5 (Vermicompost + PSB) treatments, the following data were recorded: highest plant height (24.060 cm), number of leaves (12.760), number of main branches (11.150), number of secondary branches (28.167), number of flowers (15.773), number of fruits per plant (8.623), fruit yield (207.230 gm), and fruit yield (59.230 q/ha).
