Abstract: An Experiment was carried out during rabi 2023-2024 at Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P) India. To study the Effect of Tricho capsules and different micronutrients on growth, yield and quality of Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) cv. Chandler. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design, replicated 3 times with 10 treatments with different combinations. The characters of growth, yield and quality characters are noted. Based on above characters it is concluded that treatment combination T­₉ (Tricho capsules + FeSO4 (0.6%)) showed best results of plant height (25.77 cm), plant spread (22.53 cm), number of leaves per plant (11.34), number of flowers per plant (28.00), Fruit length (3.66 cm), Fruit diameter (2.60 cm), fruit weight (8.86gm), total fruit yield per plant (220.68 g), TSS ⁰brix (8.30 ⁰brix), Acidity (0.74%) and Ascorbic Acid (60.87 mg) of strawberry. Importance of conducting this experiment is defined that Tricho capsules and micronutrients improves the fruit size, fruit weight and firmness. So, the quality and shelf-life of a fruit also increases. It will help to export the fruits to other countries.
