TL;DRAbstract

Integrated Nutrient Management involves efficient and judicious supply of all major and micronutrients on a sustainable basis. An experiment was conducted at the pomology research farm, Department of Horticulture, Allahabad Agricultural Institute-Deemed University, Allahabad during winter (November-March) of 2006-2007 to study the response of Integrated Nutrient Management on growth, yield and quality of strawberry. Experimental design was a randomized block with 15 treatments replicated thrice. Treatments comprising recommended fertilizers rate considered as control (N:P:K - 100:80:60 kg.ha -1 ), Farmyard manure (20 t.ha -1 ), vermicompost (5 t.ha -1 ), poultry manure (5 t.ha -1 ), rhizosphere bacteria culture (4 kg.ha -1 ) alone and in combination with different reducing levels of recommended fertilizers rate. The yield of strawberry was statistically at par with 75% recommended fertilizers rate +25% vermicompost + rhizosphere bacteria culture in comparison to other treatments. Quali
