摘要

A field experiment was conducted during the winter season at the Crop Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Allahabad school of Agriculture, SHIATS, Allahabad (U.P.) entitled "Economic study of plant growth regulators and organic manure treated Strawberry (Fragarici x ananassa Duch.) cv. Chandler in Allahabad region." Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) namely NAA(100, 150 and 200 ppm), GA-, (100, 150 and 200 ppm), Triacontanol (100, 150 and 200 ppm) and CCC (400, 800 and 1200 ppm) were applied as foliar spray and organic manure (2.50, 5.50 and 8.50 tones ha~(-1)) was mixed in soil during field preparation. The results revealed that the maximum length diameter ratio of fruit (1.58) and specific gravity (1.34) were observed with treatment T_v The treatment T_(12) recorded maximum cost of cultivation (498186.22 Rs/ha) followed by (492246.22 Rs/ha) with treatment T13 while minimum cost of cultivation was recorded with treatment T_1 (435596.23 Rs/ha). However the maximum benefit cost ratio (1:3.62) wasreported with the treatment T_7.
