    The present investigation entitled “Effect of different time and methods of budding on the bud take success of Nectarine on Peach (Prunus persica L.) seedling rootstocks” was conducted at Fruit Nursery, department of Fruit science. VCSG Uttarakhand University of Horticulture and Forestry, Bharsar, Pauri Garhwal, Uttarakhand, India. The combinations of different budding time i.e. 20th August, 5th September and 20th September with three different methods i.e. shield, chip and patch budding were tried to investigate their effects on the bud take success of Nectarine on Peach seedling rootstocks. In this study peach seedling were used as rootstock in the field conditions. The Nectarine cv. Red June was used for bud take success. Days taken to bud sprouting, sprout length (cm), sprout diameter (cm), number of branch, number of leaves, leaf area (cm2), percent dead budded plants without sprouting, percent dead budded plants after sprouting, survival percentage and percent total saleable plants were determined as experimental parameters after budding, All budding time and methods were found suitable for nectarine propagation. However, the maximum sprout length (84.64 cm), diameter (0.93 cm), number of branches (34.18) number of leaves per budded plant (134), leaf area (24.20 cm2), survival (62.50%), and total saleable plants (91.97%) and minimum days taken to bud sprout (161.12 days), dead budded plants without sprouting (16.67%) were obtained with shield budding performed on 20th August. Minimum dead budded plants after sprouting (16.67%) was obtained from shield budding practiced on 5th September.

    Strawberry runners were transplanted in Fruit nursery at VCSG College of horticulture Bharsar, during the rainy seasons 2014-2015, to investigate the effect of different fertilizers and pesticide and their interactions on the vegetative growth, yield and quality of strawberry plants cv. Shimla Delicious. The experiment included 12 treatments resulted from the combination between four fertilizer doses and three pesticides application methods. Results show that using 100:80:60 kg/ha NPK + vermicompost + runners dip with imidacloprid was significantly found most effective in respect to plant growth characters viz., plant height (cm), number of leaves per plant, fruit length (mm), fruit breadth (mm), days to fruit maturity, number of runners per plant, yield characters viz., number of fruit, berry weight (g), yield per plant (g), quality parameters viz., total soluble solids (0B), total soluble solid to titratable acidity ratio, total sugar (%), reducing sugar (%), non reducing sugar (%), incidence of pest viz., leaf damage (%), fruit damage (%), pest population. Higher content of vitamin C and anthocyanin were observed in 100:80:60 kg/ha + vermicompost + foliar application of imidacloprid. The least values were recorded in the control. After harvest strawberry fruits were treated with four concentration of CaCl2 namely (0.0%), (0.5 %), (1.0 %), (1.5 %). Among the treatments 1 % CaCl2 concentration found most effective followed by (0.0 %), (0.5 %) and (1.5 %) in stored at refrigerator condition. 1% CaCl2 under refrigerator condition increases the shelf life of strawberry till 9 days, viz., fruit length (mm), fruit breadth (mm) total soluble solids (0B), titratable acidity (%), total soluble solid to titratable acidity ratio, vitamin C (mg/100 g) content.
