Study of the field performance of different planting materials of strawberry (fragaria xananassa duch.)

Abstract

Abstract : The effects of different propagating materials on the growth and yield of strawberry were evaluated at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur. Among the three different propagating materials (tissue culture raised seedling, mother plant and runner raised seedling), the tissue culture raised seedling was found to be the best in respect of fruit uniformity, percent plant survivality (4.13 %) and fruit yield per hectare (17.45 t/ha). Mother plant showed the maximum vegetative growth, runner production (41.0/plant) and larger fruit size but have high mortality percentage (36.38 %).
