Type: article
Abstract: The present experiment was conducted at Experimental farm Chhapang, Department of Horticulture, Dr, Khem Singh Gill Akal College of Agriculture, Eternal university, Baru Sahib during the year 2019-20. The experiment comprised of ten different treatment combinations with three replications. The treatments included ZnSO4 at three levels (0.1, 0.3 and 0.5%) and ZnO nanoparticles at three levels (100, 150 and 300 ppm) with their combinations as well as one control (water application). The results revealed that sprays of ZnSO4 and ZnO nanoparticles improved the net economic returns from strawberry cultivation and the treatment T8 (ZnSO4 @ 0.3% + ZnO NPs @ 150 ppm) recorded maximum selling price of Rs. 4620, profit of Rs. 2157.65 and Benefit cost ratio (0.87%).
