“…These findings in the present studies are in congruence with that of Ghazvani et al (2007) [14] who recorded the highest total soluble solids in mixture of perlite medium than perlite alone. Similarly, Jafarnia et al (2010) [19] as well as Thakur and Shylla (2018b) [27] reported significantly higher percentage of total soluble solids when plants were grown in mixture of perlite. When the influence of different soilless substrates and jeevamrit on titratable acidity were studied, it was observed that, there was very little difference among the treatments.…”

“…The data also indicates that the berry size in terms of both berry length and breadth was highest (40 mm and 26.55 mm respectively) in plants grown under perlite (75%) + cocopeat (25%) + jeevamrit treatment which was statistically different from all other treatments, whereas, the lowest berry length and breadth (32.75 mm and 19.95 mm respectively) was obtained under soil + FYM treatment. The good physical conditions, moisture holding capacity and aeration properties of perlite as a medium may have improved the growth and vigour of the plants which possibly increased photosynthesis and translocation of assimilates in the berries (Younis et al 2015; Thakur and Shylla, 2018b) [31,27] . These results are in accordance with the findings of Fornes et al (2003) [13] and Ayesha et al (2011) [9] , who also found that perlite with manure based medium increased the berry size in strawberry and they had attributed to the ability of this medium to provide essential micro nutrients to the plants.…”

Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) is an important small-fruit crop, belonging to the family Rosaceae. It is best grown under protected conditions but in Himachal Pradesh, it is mostly grown in open field conditions using soil as a growing media which invariably leads to many problems related to soil borne pests, diseases, nematodes and other soil limiting factors resulting in poor quality planting material thereby yielding poor quality fruits. Hence the present investigations was carried out at the Horticultural Research & Training Station and Krishi Vigyan Kendra, (HRTS & KVK) Kandaghat, Solan (H.P.), India during the cropping seasons of 2018-19 to study the effect of soilless substrates and jeevamrit on yield and quality of starawberry. The experiment comprised of six treatments viz. cocopeat (50%) + FYM (50%) + jeevamrit; perlite (50%) + FYM (50%) + jeevamrit; cocopeat (50%) + perlite (50%) + jeevamrit; perlite (75%) + cocopeat 25%) + jeevamrit; soil (50%) + FYM (50%) + jeevamrit and soil + FYM as control with four replications. The results revealed that perlite (75%) + cocopeat (25%) + jeevamrit resulted in the maximum berry yield, size, weight, total soluble solids and sugars as compared to control. Based on the results obtained, perlite (75%) + cocopeat (25%) + jeevamrit can be successfully used for the production of good quality strawberry under polyhouse.

Morphological and Yield Parameters, Dry Matter Distribution, Nutrients Uptake, and Distribution in Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) cv. ‘Elsanta’ as Influenced by Spent Mushroom Substrates and Planting Seasons

2022

The performance of autumn and spring-planted strawberry cv. ‘Elsanta’ in peat and peat supplemented with fresh spent mushroom substrate (SMS) of Agaricus bisporus, Lentinus edodes, and Pleurotus ostreatus in 15% and 25% was evaluated. The morphological and yield parameters, dry matter distribution, uptake, and partitioning of macro- and micronutrients were studied. The experiment was carried out during 2020–2021 in an unheated tunnel and was laid out in a randomised complete block design in five replicates. The study aimed to deliver greater insight into utilising fresh SMS as a sustainable substitute to peat. The shoot and root length, leaf number, crown diameter, plant dry weight, and marketable yields were superior in SMS-based substrates in autumn planting. The nutrient uptake varied among substrates and planting seasons, where higher plant nutrient uptake was noticed in SMS-based substrates. Nutrient partitioning among leaves, crowns, and roots was dynamic. The N, P, K, and Mn were mainly recovered in leaves. While Mg was almost equally partitioned among plant organs. The higher amounts of Na, Zn, and Cu were found in crowns. The greater accumulation of Ca and Fe in roots was evident. Correlation indicated that plant macro- and micronutrients had both positive and negative interactions. Overall, the superior morphological and yield performances of cv. ‘Elsanta’ were more noticeable in SMSs than in peat in autumn-planted strawberries.
