| dc.description.abstract | The present experiment entitled Response of biofertilizers on growth, yield and quality of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) was conducted at Hi-tech greenhouse and Post-harvest Laboratory of the Department of Horticulture, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar (Haryana) during the year 2016-17 and 2017-18 to find out the best bacterial strain that enhanced the growth, yield and quality of strawberry and minimize the disease incidence in fruits. The data were recorded on plant height, number of leaves per plant, plant spread, crown diameter, fresh weight of plant, dry weight of plant, number of runners per plant, number of fruits per plant, fresh weight of fruit, length and breadth of fruits, yield per plant, moisture content in fruits, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid content and anthocyanin content. The recorded data were subjected to statistical analysis using Completely Randomized Design (factorial). The strawberry plants were inoculated with different strains of Bacillus and Pseudomonas and their combination and all the rhizobaterial inoculated plants fertilized with 75% RDF. Different strains of Bacillus and Pseudomonas had significant effect on growth, yield and quality of strawberry. The results indicate that strawberry plants fertilized with 100% RDF significantly increased growth, yield and quality of strawberry, however plants inoculated with Bacillus strain HCA61 and Pseudomonas strain CP109 were potent in increasing all growth and yield parameters whereas, among quality parameters maximum TSS was observed in Bacillus strain RCA3 and maximum ascorbic acid content and anthocyanin content was observed in Bacillus strain SYB101, and plants inoculated with Pseudomonas strain CP109 produces maximum TSS, minimum titrable acidity, maximum ascorbic acid content and anthocyanin content of fruits. The minimum disease incidence in fruits, i.e., gray mould and fruit rot was observed in plants supplied with Bacillus strain HCA61. The strains CP109 + HCA61 and MHA75 + HCA61 showed best results for growth, yield and minimum disease incidence. | en_US |
