Abstract

Strawberry is being promoted for year round production due to its highly desirable taste, flavour and health properties, and it is possible through soilless cultivation. A study on production of strawberry cv. Festival under vertical growth system with four tiers on soilless medium in a passively ventilated greenhouse was attempted. Significant differences were observed for the growth parameters, viz., number of leaves, leaf area, crown diameter and biomass production. Of the four tiers, first tier planting tended to show the enhanced plant growth and photosynthesis rate with early flowering, higher fruit yield of improved fruit quality than lower tiers tested.
