Summary
The intensifying demand for sustainable and space-efficient horticultural systems has spotlighted hydroponic based vertical farming as a transformative solution for high-value crops such as strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa). This study evaluates the influence of diverse nutrient treatments on strawberry cultivars cultivated under a closed-loop Nutrient Film Technique (NFT)-based vertical hydroponic system during November 2023 to February 2024 at Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow. The experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design in a 2 × 6 factorial arrangement, comprising the cultivars ‘Sweet Charlie’ and ‘Winter Dawn’, and six nutrient treatments i.e., control, organic inputs (jeevamrit 10%; homa ash 400 ppm), nano-based formulations (nano urea 2%; nano zinc 2
