Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was conducted at Horticulture Research Centre, Gazipur, Bangladesh, to study the effects of N, P, K, and S on growth, yield and nutrient content of strawberry following Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) method. There were 4 levels of different nutrients and there was a positive impact of each fertilizer combinations on yield, yield parameters and nutrient contents of BARI Strawberry except control treatment. The highest values of plant height (25.60 cm); number of leaves (21.66), flowers (125.33), fruits (12.35),destroyed fruits (11), fruit weight (215.10 g) plant^-1 and fruit length (4.16 cm), fruit diameter (3.41cm), individual fruit weight (17.85 g) and fruit yield (11.50 t ha^-1) were found in treatment of 115,40,110 and 25 kg ha^-1 NPKS, respectively. Among the fertilizers, the single effect of N (115 kg ha^-1), P (40 kg ha^-1), K (110 kg ha^-1) and S (25 kg ha^-1) gave maximum growth and yield of strawberry. The highest concentration of N, P, K and S were found in shoot and fruit of strawberry when N, P, K and S fertilizers were used 140,60,135 and 35 kg ha^-1, respectively.

Keywords: BARI Strawberry, Growth, Nutrient content, Sulphur, Yield

Location: Horticultural Research Farm, BARI, Joydebpur, Gazipur

Start Date: 00-00-2011

End Date: 00-00-2012

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Fertilizer, Strawberry

Objectives:

To evaluate the response to N, P, K and S and also to find out the optimum fertilizer package for maximizing yield of strawberry in Grey Terrace soil of Joydebpur, Gazipur.

Methodology:

Location of the experimental field The experiment was conducted at the Horticultural Research Farm, BARI, Joydebpur, Gazipur during robi season of 2011-2012. Experimental design The field experiment was set up in a Completely Randomized Block Design (RCBD) with three replications having 14 treatment combinations. Thus the total number of unit plots was 42. The unit plot size was 2 m x 1 m. The plot to plot distance was 50 cm x 50 cm. Harvesting Ripen strawberry fruits were harvested from 1st March to 13th April, 2012. The necessary field data were recorded from eight selected plants at each treatment. Statistical analysis Data were statistically analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) technique using the MSTAT-C Statistical Computer Package Programmee in accordance with the principles of Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Ducan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) was used to compare variations among the treatments.

Achievement/Findings:

There was no significant difference on plant height of strawberry plant on the application different combinations of fertilizers. However, the tallest plant (25.60cm) was achieved at T3 (115,40,110 and 25 kg N,P,K and S ha^-1 respectively) treatment and the shortest plant (22.53 cm) grew from T14 treatment (control). Due to the effect of different combinations of fertilizers significant differences were found on leaf number, flowers, fruits, destroyed fruits and fruit weight plant^-1, fruit length, fruit diameter, individual fruit weight and fruit yield. From the result of present investigation it was revealed that ^{- 1}. The combined fertilization of 115,40, 110 and 25 kg ha^-1 N,P,K and S respectively showed the better performance for most of the characters as well as yield of strawberry. 2. N, P, K and S content of strawberry shoot and fruit increased with increasing rate of N,P,K,S fertilizer application in combination treatment. 3. N, P, K and S content in strawberry fruit was more than shoot at the same fertilizer combination.
