Evaluation of Growth and Yield of Four Strawberry (Fragaria ananassa) Genotypes

Abstract

A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the growth and yield performance of four strawberry germplasms at the Horticulture Farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka during October 2010 to April 2011. The experimental materials were four strawberry germplasms: V1 (SAU Line-01), V2 (SAU Line-02), V3 (SAU Line-03) and V4 (SAU Line-04). The experiment was laid out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five replications. Among the germplasms the maximum number of flowers (32.5/plant), the maximum number of fruits (28.8/plant), the highest average fruit weight (12.3 g) and the highest total fruit yield (361 g/plant) were found in V1. Considering the overall results of the study, it may be concluded that V1 (SAU Line-01) is a promising strawberry germplasm for cultivation in Bangladesh.

Comparison of Variability in Exotic Genotypes of Strawberry (Fragaria × Ananassa duch.) in Climatic Conditions of Pakistan

“…Our results are same in line with Hossan et al (2013) who described that maximum average diameter (24.6 mm) was recorded from SG-1 while the lowest diameter (21.1 mm) as was recorded from RABI-3. Similar results were described by (Islam et al, 2013).…”

“…The highest leaf area (62.41 cm 2 ) was recorded in Sogoya germplasm whereas, the minimum leaf area (21.03 cm 2 ) was observed from Norial germplasm. Deviation with reverence to leaf area could be recognized to the fact that different cultivars may respond differently to factors like as light, temperature, photoperiod, availability of nutrients in the soil, and the distribution of metabolites among the above-ground plant parts (Islam et al, 2013). No.…”

“…The strawberry fruit under investigation ranged from 12.12 g (Sogoya) and 3 g (Norial) the differences between those being nonsignificant. It means the highest photosynthesis ensuing higher food materials, better fruit size and fruit weight (Islam et al, 2013).…”

Performance of Strawberry (Fragaria × Ananassa Duch) Cultivars in Nicra Adopted Village Paiyong Under Kalimpong District of North Bengal India

“…Festival (32.2 days). Similar results were also reported by Islam et al (2012) and Aslam (2017). The earliness in flowering to harvest in the cultivars may be due to the number of days taken for flower emergence and the influence of climatic factors.…”
