Abstract
To study the impact of various cultivation systems on performance of strawberry the proposed research study was conducted in the experimental plot of nursery of Department of Horticulture, Khalsa College, Amritsar during 2018-2019. The experiment was carried out following Randomised Block Design (RBD) replicated thrice. The runners of the strawberry cv. Chandler were collected from the Department of Pomology, Dr. YS Parmar University of Horticulture, Nauni, Solan Himachal Pradesh as bases of plant material. Different cultivation systems were adapted i.e. Flat beds( T1), raised beds( T2), ridges (T3), soil less media(T4), polythene bags(T5), Cement pots (T6), plastic crates (T7) and low tunnels (T8) to find out the best cultivation system for better vegetative growth, yield and fruit quality of strawberry. The results of the study revealed that the vegetative growth in terms of plant height, number of shoots, leaves, flowers and fruits were found significantly higher in the plants grown in plastic crates while fruit yield was increased under low poly tunnels.
