Abstract

The use of organic manures and biofertilizers as a nutrient source is a sustainable production method to improve crop yield and quality. A pot experiment was conducted during the year 2017–18 and 2018–19 at hi-tech greenhouse of the Department of Horticulture, Choudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hissar, Haryana (India) with comprised of nine treatments, viz., Sand: FYM (3:1), Sand: FYM (2:1), Sand: Vermicompost (3:1), Sand: Vermicompost (2:1), Sand: FYM (3:1) + Azotobacter, Sand: FYM (2:1) + Azotobacter, Sand: Vermicompost (3:1) + Azotobacter, Sand: Vermicompost (2:1) + Azotobacter and Control (Sand), in a complete randomized design with five replications, over a two-growing seasons. Plants supplied with Sand: Vermicompost (2:1) + Azotobacter inoculation recorded higher plant growth, fruit yield, which was at par with Sand: Vermicompost (3:1) + Azotobacter inoculation than other combination. Maximum TSS, vitamin C and anthocyanin content were observed under the treatment combination of sand: vermicompost (2:1) + Azotobacter inoculation in comparison with other treatments. The results demonstrated that there will be a significant improvement in growth, yield and quality attributes of strawberry, when plats supplied with organic manure in combination of Azotobacter inoculation than without manure and biofertilizer inoculation.

Claim · model-written summary

Sand: Vermicompost (2:1) with Azotobacter produced higher strawberry growth and fruit yield than other combinations, and was comparable to the 3:1 vermicompost plus Azotobacter treatment.

8 of 10 groups shown: named compounds and organisms first, then groups whose results differ (checked claim by claim), then those with positive and negative results, then the smaller groups.

Claims are grouped by organism, treatment and what was measured or targeted. A paper counts as positive when any of its claims in the group is positive.
