Major objective of the research was to identify the best strawberry cultivar under in this region, to identify most suitable growing condition for strawberry in this region and to evaluate the performance of different strawberry cultivars under various growing conditions. The experimental material consists of three varieties of strawberry viz., Winter Dawn, Nabila and Sweet Sensation under three different growing conditions viz., open, polytunnel and shade net in Completely Randomized Design (Factorial CBD) consist of three replications during the season of 2020 - 2021. In case of parameters vegetative, reproductive and quality parameters were evaluated throughout the study. Among the vegetative parameters number of leaves per plant, leaf area, plant height, plant spread and crown diameters were evaluated. In case of reproductive parameters days taken for flower bud initiation, days for anthesis, number of flowers, number of fruits, days taken for anthesis to harvesting. Whereas among the quality parameters fruit length, width, weight, total soluble sloid, ascorbic acid content, titratable acidity, anthocyanin Dr. RAJENDRA PRASAD CENTRAL AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, PUSA, SAMASTIPUR, BIHAR-848125 content, reducing sugars, non-reducing sugars and total sugars were determined. Results revealed that highest vegetative growth were recorded in the cultivar Winter Dawn and among the growing conditions inside polytunnel situation maximum were recorded. The same results were found both in case of reproductive and, quality oriented parameters those which were evaluated.EnglishThesis
