ABSTRACT
An investigation was undertaken to study the effect vermicompost and biofertilizers on quality parameters and leaf nutrient concentration of strawberry. The experiment was conducted during two consecutive years (2012-13 & 2013-14) in a Randomized block design with three replications and twelve treatments consisting of various combinations of Azotobacter (7 kg ha-1), PSB (phosphorus solublizing bacteria, 6 kg ha-1), AM (Arbuscular mycorrhiza, 5 kg ha-1) and vermicompost (10 ton ha-1). Total soluble solids (TSS), total sugar, yield and chlorophyll content were recorded maximum in treatment T11. Acidity of strawberry fruits was recorded maximum under control (T0), while minimum in treatment T11. Significantly maximum ascorbic acid content in berries was recorded under control (T0), while treatment T9 produced minimum ascorbic content. Nitrogen and phosphorus content was found maximum in treatment T5 and T11 respectively while maximum potassium and boron content was reported in treatment T10.
