Impacts of alternative growing medium in combination with Jeevamrit on strawberry growth, and fruit quality parameters under open field condition

Summary

The perennial herbaceous strawberry (Fragaria ananassa Duch.) is a member of the Rosaceae family. The farmed strawberry has established itself as a major player in the global fruit industry because to its good economic return and delightful flavor. For this concern an investigation was carried out with six treatments and three replications according to Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The treatment consisted of seven different rates of growing media, T1: Vermicompost (70%) + Rice husk (30%) + Jeevamrit, T2: Cocopeat (50%) + Vermicompost (50%) + Jeevamrit, T3: Cocopeat (33.3%) +Vermicompost (33.3%) + Rice husk (33.3%) + Jeevamrit, T4: Cocopeat (70%) + Rice husk (30%) + Jeevamrit, T5: Cocopeat (50%) +Vermicompost (30%) + Rice husk (20%) + Jeevamrit, T6: Soil (Control).
