Abstract:
Response of gibberellic acid on the growth quality and yield of three
strawberry germplasm was studied at Horticulture Farm, Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, Dhaka during the period from October, 2010 to April,
2011. The experiment consisted of two factors, Factor A: Germplasm viz.V
;
SG-1, V
GA
3
2
; RABI-3 and V3; SG-3 and Factor B: Different concentrations of
viz. G
0
; control (fresh water) G
1
; 50ppm, G
2
; 75ppm, G
; 100ppm.
Maximum number of fruits (26/plant), average fruit weight (14.63g) and
maximum yield (379.80g /plant) was found in V
whereas the minimum result
of above parameter was recorded in V
2
1
. Maximum number of fruits (25/plant)
and average fruit weight (13.21g) and maximum yield (336.60g) was in G
.
Maximum brix percentage was recorded from V
1
and G
2
.
For combined effect
single fruit weight, yield per plant (419.70g), and brix percentage (5.17) was
highest from treatment combination of V
with G
2
showed the best performance.
