This review article is based on complete articles and abstracts. The nutrition status of any plants plays a vital role in determining its growth, yield and quality of fruits. An optimal fertilization is contributive in obtaining high yield of good quality and high biological value. Both macro and micronutrients are well known to ameliorate plant growth, yield and quality. Application of nutrients especially macronutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium etc. is well known to enhance the crop growth and development for optimum yield and to improve quality of produce. It is evident from literature, that nitrogen and phosphorus affect growth, yield and quality of fruits and vegetables. The available literature on effect of nitrogen and phosphorus application on growth parameters, yield components and quality of capsicum and other fruits or vegetable crops are reviewed and presented below.
Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) is one of the most important soft fruits belongs to the family Rosaceae. A research trial was conducted in farmer’s field condition (Baadi) at village-Bharregaon, (dist.-Rajnandgaon, Chhattisgarh) and the research farm of College of Horticulture and Research Station, Rajnandgaon (C.G.) during the winter spring season of the year 2017-18 to evaluate different strawberry cultivars for growth, flowering and fruiting behavior under farmer’s field condition (Baadi) in the plain region of Chhattisgarh. The experiment was conducted with two best performing strawberry cultivars namely Nabila and Camarosa replicated four times using student’s t-test. The results of the research trial revealed that the strawberry cv. Nabila recorded maximum vegetative growth i.e., plant height, number of leaves, plant spread, number of runners per plant and length of runners, while the minimum were recorded under the cultivar Camarosa. Earliest flowering, fruit setting and fruit ripening was exhibited under the cultivar Nabila, whereas the cultivar Camarosa had too late in flowering, fruit setting and ripening of the fruits under farmer’s field condition (Baadi).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
