dc.description.abstractABSTRACT The present investigation entitled “Effect of different farming practices and mulches on production of strawberry under wild pomegranate-based agroforestry systems” was carried out at the experimental farm Pandah of Department of of Silviculture and Agroforestry, Dr Y S Parmar University of Horticulture and Nauni, Solan, Himachal Pradesh, during the year 2022-2023. The experiment was laid out in RBD (2 factorial) with three replications comprising of three organic mulchesand three manures with 13 Treatments viz., T1 (Control), T2 (Bamboo mulch alone), T3 (Bamboo mulch + Natural farming), T4 (Bamboo mulch+ RDF), T5 (Bamboo mulch+ FYM), T6 (Pine mulch alone), T7 (Pine mulch+ Natural farming), T8 (Pine mulch+ RDF), T9 (Pine mulch+ FYM), T10 (Poplar mulch alone), T11 (Poplar mulch + Natural farming), T12 (Poplar mulch+ RDF) and T13 (Poplar mulch+ FYM).Treatments mulched with pine needles along with organic manures showed best results in most of the growth and yield parameters of strawberry. Based on the findings yield of strawberry was recorded best in treatment (T9) which was mulched with pine needles along with farm yard manure under wild pomegranate, displayed better results for yield parameters for strawberry than for sole cropping. Soil physico-chemical properties like pH, OC, moisture, available nitrogen, available phosphorus and available potassium were higher in poplar mulch along with inorganic manures. The integration of strawberry under agroforestry will provide multiproducts to the farmers which will increase the socio-economic status of the farmers.
