Abstract: The present investigation entitled “Effect of Different Biofertilizers and Organic Manures on Growth, Yield and Quality of Strawberry (Fragaria×ananassa Duch.) cv. Chandler.” An experiment was conducted at the research field, Department of Horticulture, Allahabad School of Agriculture, Sam Higgibottom Institute of Agriculture, Technology & Sciences, Allahabad during the year 2015-2016, the experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design having 12 treatments three replications of bio-fertilizers and organic manure at different levels. The result revealed that treatment T12 (Phosphobacter 5kg/ha + Azatobacter 5 kg/ha + FYM 6 ton/ha + Vermicompost 3 ton/ha + Poultry Manure 3 ton/ha) was found to be best in terms of maximum plant height (19.67 cm), plant spread (26.43cm), number of leaves (18.13), petiole length (4.96 cm), day to first flowering (67.33), number of flowers per plant (16.80), fruit yield per plant (75.94 g), fruit yield per plot (683.46gm), fruit yield per hectare(6.83 t), TSS (8.54 0 B), acidity (0.46%), pH of juice (4.40). Similarly the maximum gross return (1079250 rupees), net return (696022.95 rupees) and benefit cost ratio (2.77:1) for cultivation of strawberry under Allahabad agro- climatic condition. However, since these findings are based on a one-year experiment, additional trials may be required to support them.
