The interactive effects of irrigation and fertilizer on the yields of advanced strawberry line FA-016 were assessed at the central research station, Joydebpur during rabi season of 2013-2014. Two drip irrigation levels i.e., drip irrigation  at two and three days interval, and three fertilizer doses (N110K100P40S25kg/ha, N75K75P40S25 kg/ha and N50K50P40S25 kg/ha) were tested. Soluble fertilizers like urea and muriate of potash were applied with water through drip irrigation system. Fertigation was done in 4 (four) times at different growth stages. The cumulative effects of irrigation water and fertilizer revealed that the moderate fertilizer dose (N75, P40, K75, and S25 kg/ha) and 2 days interval of irrigation produced the highest yield (12.63t/ha) of strawberry. While highest yield was obtained at an irrigation interval of 2 days, total soluble solids and percentage of total sugar was highest (7.7 and 5.20% respectively) in treatment T1 where strawberry plants were irrigated at 3 days interval with a fertilizer dose of N110, P40, K100, S25 kg/ha. The seasonal water use varied from 15.68-21.30 cm throughout the growing period under normal rainfall conditions. The highest net return and benefit-cost ratio was achieved with the moderate fertilizer dose of N75, P40, K75, S25 kg/ha with irrigation application at 2 days interval.

The experiment was conducted at the experimental field of Irrigation and Water Management Division, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Joydebpur, Gazipur during rabi season of 2013-2014. The soil of the experimental field was sandy clay loam with a pH value of 6.49. The field capacity and wilting point of the experimental field were 28.5 % and 14.4 % (wet basis), respectively. The bulk density was 1.50 g/cc. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with two factors comprising two levels of irrigation and three levels of fertilizer doses. There were six treatments in the experiment and the treatments were replicated thrice. The unit plot size was 2.5m × 2.5m with recommended plant spacing of 50 cm × 50 cm. The treatments were:

T1= Drip irrigation at 3 days interval with fertilizer does N110, P40, K100 and S25 kg/ha

T2= Drip irrigation at 2 days interval with fertilizer does N75, P40, K75 and S25 kg/ha

T3= Drip irrigation at 2 days interval with fertilizer does N110, P40, K100 and S25 kg/ha

T4= Drip irrigation at 3 days interval with fertilizer does N75, P40, K75 and S25 kg/ha

T5= Drip irrigation at 2 days interval with fertilizer does N50, P40, K50 and S25 kg/ha

T6= Drip irrigation at 3 days interval with fertilizer does N50, P40, K50  and S25 kg/ha

Total amount of P in the form of triple super phosphate and other micronutrients were applied during final land preparation while the different doses of N and K in the form of urea and muriate of potash were applied with irrigation water into 4 equal splits. Cowdung was applied at the rate of 5.0 t/ha. Strawberry variety FA-016 (Advanced line) was used for the study. The strawberry seedlings (produced by tissue culture) of 20-25 days old were transplanted on 09 October 2013. For mulching, paddy straw @ 5.0 t/ha was used after one month of transplanting.  Application rate of drip irrigation system depends on the discharge rate of the dripper. The dripper discharge was measured for optimum operating pressure and average discharge was found to be 1.72 lit/hr. Irrigation was applied through drip system according to the treatments to meet the crop evapotranspiration (ET). Time of water application was calculated by dividing the volume of required water by the average emitter discharge. The dripper emission is assumed uniform. The depth of irrigation water applied per plant was calculated using the formula (Ucar et al., 2011):

I = A × Ep × Kcp × P,  Where,       

I     = Irrigation water amount (lit)

A    = Area of plant (m2) = Row spacing (m) x Plant spacing (m)  

Ep   = Cumulative pan evaporation  in the irrigation intervals (mm)

Kcp  = Crop-pan coefficient

P     = Percentage of wetted area

Strawberries were harvested from 03 February to 07 April, 2014. Data were analyzed statistically using MSTAT-C and the differences in mean were evaluated by Least Significant Difference (LSD).

Plant height, plant spread area, number of runners per plant, and days to 50% flowering varied insignificantly among the treatments. The highest plant height (20.42 cm) was observed when drip irrigation was applied at 2 days interval (T5) with lowest level of nitrogen (50 kg/ha) and potassium (50 kg/ha) whereas the smallest plants (18.15 cm) were obtained with drip irrigation at 3 days interval (T4). Plant spread area was the highest (25.47 cm) in treatment T2 where irrigation water was applied at 2 days interval with 75 kg/ha of nitrogen and 75 kg/ha of potassium. Drip irrigation at 3 days interval with the highest level of nitrogen (110 kg/ha) and potassium (100 kg/ha) (T1) produced the lowest plant spread area (23.17 cm). In general, advanced line FA-016 produced less number of runners per plant and the highest number of runners per plant (2.62) was obtained from treatment T5 while the lowest (1.56) was found in treatment T3. It is clear from the above discussion that frequent irrigation confirmed better growth of strawberry. It is also evident that less amount of fertilizer could be applied to ensure better growth of strawberry plants when irrigation water is applied more frequently. Interaction of irrigation water and fertilizer did not impart significant effect on the length and diameter of strawberry. Although fruit length remained almost same in all the treatments, recurrent irrigation  produced larger fruits than did less frequent irrigation. The diameter of fruit also increased as the frequency of irrigation application increased and the maximum fruit diameter (32.07 mm) was obtained from treatment T3 where drip irrigation was applied at 2 days interval and the highest level of fertilizer (Nitrogen-110 kg/ha and potassium-100 kg/ha) was applied. The minimum (30.01 mm) diameter of strawberry fruit was attained when drip irrigation was applied at 3 days interval. Interaction of irrigation frequency and fertilizer application had significant effect on the unit fruit weight of strawberry. Unit fruit weight was the highest (13.76 g) in treatment T3 and the lowest (10.33 g) was obtained from treatment T6. Although both the treatments T1 and T3 received the same dose of fertilizers, irrigation at 2 days interval in treatment T3 increased unit fruit weight of strawberry by 11.78% over treatment T1 (irrigation at 3 days interval). The number of marketable fruits per plant varied significantly among the treatments and the highest number of marketable fruits (31.25) was obtained from treatment T2 while the lowest (24.58) was obtained from T4. Interaction of irrigation and fertilizer had also significant effect on the weight of marketable fruits per plant and the strawberry yield. Weight of marketable fruits per plant was the highest (394.67 g) in treatment T2 while it was the lowest (305.25 g) in treatment T4. Drip irrigation at 2 days interval and fertilizer dose of N75, P40, K75, and S25 kg/ha (T2) produced the maximum yield of strawberry (12.63 t/ha) while the minimum (8.85 t/ha) was found in treatment T6 where irrigation was applied at 3 days interval with fertilizer dose of N50, P40, K50, and S25 kg/ha.

A significant positive impact of the interaction of irrigation and fertilizer on the yield of strawberry was observed in the study. The highest fruit yield (12.63 t/ha) was achieved when drip irrigation was applied at 2 days interval with a moderate dose of fertilizer (N75, P45, K75, and S25 kg/ha). The yield of strawberry was minimum (8.85 t/ha) when drip irrigation was applied at 3 days interval with the lowest level of fertilizer application. The maximum net return and benefit-cost ratio was also gained from 2 days interval of irrigation with moderate fertilizer dose (T2). Based on the results of this study,  irrigation interval of 2 days and a moderate fertilizer dose of N75, P45, K75, and S25 kg/ha may be recommended for strawberry cultivation under drip irrigation system.
