Online Published on 19 March, 2024. Abstract The present study on the effect on vegetative growth and yield attributes of strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) cv. Winter Dawn in NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) system under shade net conditions was carried out during the year 2022-2023 at the Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Science Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh. The experiment was laid in the Complete Block Design (CBD) with three replications and nine treatments (t9 + control). Based on the outcomes of the experiment, the overall best results for vegetative growth and fruiting attributes are shown under the treatment t6 Grow (96 ml), Micro(104 ml) and bloom (102 ml) with 12 (6M+6E) hours of running water, the solution of Grow, Micro and Bloom at a certain concentration and time showed significantly increased vegetative growth like plant height, No. of leaves, plant spread, root length as well as fruiting attributes like No. of flowers, No. of fruits and average fruit weight of strawberry plant.
