Abstract

Farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka during the period from
October, 2010 to April, 2011 to evaluate growth
and yield performance of three strawberry germplasms. The
experiment consisted of three germplasms viz. SG-1, RABI-3 and SG-3. Results
showed that the tallest plant (28.0 cm), maximum number of leaves (11.0 plant-1) and maximum leaf
area 69.8 cm2 plant-1) was recorded from SG-1. Maximum
number of fruits (26.0 plant-1), average fruit weight (14.6 g) and
maximum yield (379.8 g plant-1) was also found in SG-1 whereas
the minimum values each of the above said variables were recorded in RABI-3.
