INFLUENCE OF CLYBIO AND ECOAGRA CONCENTRATION ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF STRAWBERRY

Abstract

An experiment was carried out to evaluate the influence of different concentrations of Clybio and Ecoagra on growth and yield of strawberry at Horticulture Farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from November 2019 to February 2020. The experiment was consisted of nine treatments namely T 0 : Untreated (control); T 1 : Clybio @ 1.0 ml/L; T 2 : Clybio @ 2.0 ml/L; T 3 : Ecoagra @ 1.0 ml/L; T 4 : Ecoagra @ 2.0 ml/L; T 5 : Clybio @ 1.0 ml/L + Ecoagra @ 1.0 ml/L; T 6 : Clybio @ 1.0 ml/L + Ecoagra @ 2.0 ml/L; T 7 : Clybio @ 2.0 ml/L + Ecoagra @ 1.0 ml/L; T 8 : Clybio @ 2.0 ml/L + Ecoagra @ 2.0 ml/L. All the treatments were applied to the soil of strawberry field along with leaves and crowns of strawberry plants. The single factorial experiments were laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Among the treatments maximum number of fruits (50.6/plant), fruit length (5.1 cm), fruit diameter (4.7 cm), single fruit weight (40.5 g), yield (22.3 t/ha), brix percentage (7.8) was found in case of T 8

treatment. On the other hand minimum number of fruits (17.6/plant), fruit length (4.2 cm), fruit diameter (3.7 cm), single fruit weight (24.3 g), yield (5.1 t/ha), TSS content (6.2) was found in case of T 0 treatment. In view of overall performances, T8 treatment that implies Clybio @ 2.0 ml/L + Ecoagra @ 2.0 ml/L provided the best result for growth and yield attributes.
