Summary

This narrative review synthesises published evidence on the effects of organic manure and bio-fertilizer applications on strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) horticultural performance and fruit quality. The work appears to collate findings on how different organic soil amendments influence yield and post-harvest attributes in strawberry cultivation, likely drawing on trials and field studies conducted under Indian agro-climatic conditions. Without access to the full text, the specific conclusions and comparative effectiveness of amendment types remain uncertain.

Regional applicability

Whilst the review is situated in an Indian context (with likely focus on Indian climate, soils and varieties), organic amendment and bio-fertilizer strategies for strawberry are widely practised in the United Kingdom. Findings may have transferable relevance to UK horticulture, particularly for growers adopting organic or reduced-input systems, though UK-specific soil, climate and variety adaptation would require local validation.

Key measures

Likely includes plant growth parameters (height, leaf area), yield (fruit weight, number), and quality attributes (sugars, acidity, nutrient content), though specific metrics are not confirmed without the full text.

Outcomes reported

The review likely synthesises evidence on how organic manure and bio-fertilizer applications affect strawberry growth metrics, yield, and fruit quality characteristics. The paper appears to examine agronomic and quality outcomes across different organic soil amendment strategies.
