Abstract
An experiment entitled “Response of foliar spray of iron, zinc and boron in
strawberry (Fragaria × ananassaDuch.) cv.Winter Dawn” was conducted at
Horticulture Farm, MPUAT, Udaipur during the year 2020-21 to find out the suitable
treatment for fruit growth, yield and quality of strawberry. The experiment was tried
in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with eleven treatments replicated thrice times.
The treatment S10 i.e. RDF + Borax (0.2%) + ZnSO4 (0.2%) + FeSO4 (0.2%)
was found best in term of vegetative parameters like petiole length, plant spread (E-W
& N-S), number of leaves per plant and runner per plant, fruit yield parameters like
days to first flower initiation, days to initiation to fruit set, days to first harvest, days
to final harvest, number of picking, fruit length, length diameter ratio, fruit per plant
and fruit yield per plant, quality parameter characters like TSS, TSS: Acid ratio, juice
per cent and ascorbic acid were significantly increased while, decrease in acidity.
The treatment S10 i.e. RDF + Borax (0.2%) + ZnSO4 (0.2%) + FeSO4 (0.2%)
was also found economically viable resulting in highest gross return of ₹ 715439
Lakh ha-1, net return ₹ 372680 Lakh ha-1 as compare to other treatment studied..
