Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Five strawberry genotypes ('Rabi 3', 'Camarosa', 'BARI Strawberry 1', 'BADC Strawberry' and 'Festival') were evaluated for their field performance. The maximum number of leaves/plant (14.2), canopy spread (31.82 cm) and runners/plant (7.2) were found with 'Camarosa', 'Festival' and 'Rabi 3' respectively. Festival took the lowest number of days to flower initiation (32.5). The highest number of flowers (23.64) and fruits/plant (19.98) were found in 'Camarosa'. The heaviest (21.83 g) and the largest sized individual fruit (1539.31 mm²) were produced by 'Festival'. Fruit TSS (%) was the highest (15.83) in BARI Strawberry 1. Genotype 'Festival' gave the highest fruit yield (12.94 t/ha) and 'BADC Strawberry' yielded the lowest (6.15 t/ha). Considering growth, yield and quality of fruit, genotypes 'Festival' and 'Camarosa' were found promising under the climatic condition of Salna.

End Date: 00-03-2012

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Strawberry

Objectives:

The present investigation has been carried out to find out the best genotype for optimum growth and higher yield of strawberry.

Methodology:

The present investigation was carried out at the Horticulture Research Farm, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Salna, Gazipur during the period from November 2011 to March 2012. Five genotypes, 'Rabi 3', 'Camarosa', 'BARI Strawberry 1', 'BADC Strawberry' and 'Festival', respectively were used as treatments. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with four replications. The whole experimental area was divided into four blocks representing four replications. The unit plot size was 6.0 m ´ 1.2 m accommodating 40 plants in each plot having row and plant spacing of 60 cm 30 cm respectively. The unit plots and blocks were separated by 0.5 m and 0.75 m respectively. Full dose of cow dung (37 t/ha) and DAP (640 kg/ha) and half of MoP (333 kg/ha) were applied at final land preparation and rest of MoP in two installments. Intercultural operations are done as necessity. Data collection was started after 20 days of sapling planting i.e. January 08, 2012 at 10 days interval. Ten plants were selected randomly from each plot and data were recorded on individual plant basis from the selected plants in respect of: number of leaves/plant, canopy spread (cm), number of runners/plant, days to flower initiation, number of flowers/plant, number of fruits/plant, weight of individual fruit (g) and size of fruit (mm²) from 10 randomly selected matured fruits of the selected plants. Fruit color (1= Very light red, 3= Light red, 5= Intermediate red, 7= Dark red and 9= Very dark red) and shape (1= Kidney shape, 2= Oblate, 3 = Round, 4= Conical, 5= Bi-conical, 6= Almost cylindrical, 7 = Wedged, 8= Ovoid, 9= Cordate) was recorded by eye observation according to IBPGR (1986) scale, yield/plant (g), yield/plot (kg), yield (t/ha) and TSS (%). The collected data were analyzed with the help of computer using MSTATC program and mean separation was done by Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at 5% level of probability.

Achievement/Findings:

Among the five genotypes studied, 'Festival' was the highest yielder compared to others genotypes. Genotype 'Camarosa' had the maximum number of flower and fruit set. The number of runners per plant increased up to 60 DAP for all genotypes except 'Camarosa' and 'Festival'. So, these two genotypes are difficult to propagate through runners.
