Abstract: A field study was conducted in Department of Fruit Science (Horticulture), Bharsar, Uttarakhand during 2014-15 to Studies on effect of fertilizers and pesticide on growth, yield of strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) cv. Shimla Delicious. The data regarding the different growth parameters observed at different days after planting clearly indicate that the application of fertilizer and pesticide significantly affect the vegetative growth of the plant. The maximum growth in terms of height of the plant (10.83cm, 13.83 cm and 18.13 cm), number of leaves per plant (15.34, 19.44, and 28.49), fruit length (31.60 mm), fruit breadth (19.50 mm), number of fruit per plant (15.62), days to fruit maturity (36.34 days), number of runners per plant (13.61), berry weight (5.43 g), yield per plant (84.89 g), and yield per hectare were observed in treatment combination 100:80:60 kg/ha NPK + vermicompost + runners dip with imidacloprid. The least values were recorded in the treatment F4xP3 (No application of fertilizer and pesticides).
