Abstract

The study used Randomized Block Design, which is a type of experimental design that helps investigate the effects of few factors simultaneously. The treatments comprising different mulches and fertigation viz. three types of mulching (black polythene, white polythene and 5 cm thick rice husk mulch) and three types of micronutrients viz. (0.4 % ZnSO4, 0.4 % FeSO4, and 0.2% Boron) and control. Among the various types of mulching and different types of micronutrients spray, maximum plant height, plant spread, plant weight (fresh and dry), fruit length, fruit width, fresh and dry fruit weight, maximum TSS, TSS/acid ratio, total sugar, reducing sugar, non-reducing sugar, ascorbic acid content, juice content and anthocyanin content was recorded under the treatment Black polythene +0.2 % Boron. This aligns with the well-established understanding that both mulches and fertigation are critical factors in regulating the growth and quality parameters of strawberry.
