Abstract
Strawberry is a popular fruit crop in many countries worldwide due to its refreshing and delicious taste besides being a rich source of vitamins and minerals. Taking the benefits derived from this fruit, this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of protected and conventional type of cultivation, different potting media, number of trifoliate leaves on the growth and yield of strawberry; to determine profitability of strawberry production under protective structure and conventional type of cultivation.; and to ascertain the postharvest performance of strawberry as affected by storage condition and packaging materials. Two production systems, nine potting media combinations, four numbers of trifoliate leaves, two storage conditions and four packaging materials were evaluated in three series of studies. Open field and protected cultivation did not significantly affect the yield of strawberry. The open field even showed numerically better results due to the absence of adverse conditon during the conduct of the study, particularly heavy rains. On the other hand, greatest number of runners and earliest onset of reproductive growth were noted in media supplemented with vermicompost (M8) and golden grains (M2), respectively, however, yield was statistically similar in all potting media combinations. In the first and second studies, conventional cultivation proved to be profitable and of the different potting media combination used, pure garden soil supplemented with vermicompost and ricehull (M9) generated the highest net income. The control or without leaf removal (L1) yielded also the highest profit in the second study.
