स्ट्रॉबेरी की वैज्ञानिक खेती With the increasing awareness about the neutraceuticals and importance of fruits, consumers’ demand for fruits having higher levels of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals is increasing. Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) is one of the fruit which is high in neutraceutical properties; therefore it is sold at premium price in the market. Strawberry is one of the most important soft fruits giving high returns per unit area in minimum time period. Though it is a temperate fruit crop but with the development of new cultivars, its cultivation has extended to sub-tropical areas also. In India, strawberry is cultivated in Maharashtra, Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Uttrakhand, West Bengal, Jammu and Kashmir and North Eastern states.  Besides the fresh consumption, strawberry fruits are used in the preparation of processed products like jams, jellies, spreads, ice creams and wine. Soil and Climate for strawberry: Although strawberry can be cultivated on wide soil types but for commercial production, well drained medium loam soil having pH 5.7-6.5 is considered the best. Presence of high calcium in the soil causes yellowing of leaves. Since roots of strawberry plants are mainly concentrated on top 15 cm of soil, therefore soil should be rich in humus. Fields on which crops like tomato, potato, brinjal and pepper are grown during previous...

दार्जिलिंग हिमालय क्षेत्र में कृष्‍णा फलों का विश्लेषण Passion fruit (कृष्‍णा फल), a high value foreign exchange earning fruit crop rich in appreciable quantities of vitamin A, B, C with medicinal value, is mostly grown at an altitude of 800-1500 m above mean sea level. The cultivation of passion fruit is mostly restricted to few of the North Eastern states and hilly regions of South India. It has a very good scope of commercial cultivation in the Darjeeling Himalayan Regions of West Bengal particularly Kalimpong and Kurseong subdivisions. This will help the small farmers to improve their economic condition that ultimately leads to overall prosperity of this region.  Darjeeling Krishi Vigyan Kendra will provide the necessary training in technical aspects of passion fruit cultivation by conducting trials at their experimental fields as well as adopted villages. Passion fruit, a native of Brazil is a high value nutritious foreign exchange earning fruit crop having high medicinal importance. Of about 500 species of Passiflora in the family Passifloraceae, only one species i.e. Passiflora edulis Sims, has the exclusive designation of passion fruit, preferably seen growing at an altitude of 800-1500 m above sea level. Within this species, there are two distinct forms, the standard yellow (Passiflora edulis f. Flavicarpa Deg.) and the purple (Passiflora edulis f. edulis). It is...

किसानों के लिए वरदान स्ट्रॉबेरी की उत्पादन प्रौद्योगिकी। Strawberries are adapted to many growing regions in India and commercial production is potentially profitable. Strawberries require a fairly long-term commitment. Commercial plantings are normally replaced at least every 4 years. Strawberry is one of the important small fruit among the berries. Various strawberry species grow wild all over the world, but the cultivated strawberry is based upon two species Fragarin chiloensis and Fragarin verginiana. Hybrid between these two species was the ancestor of all the modern strawberry cultivar. Strawberry has great dietetic value and is one of the potential source of vitamin C and a good antioxidant source. Every 100 gm edible portion contains 89 gm water, 0.07 gm protein, 0.5gm fats, 8.4gm carbohydrates and 59mg ascorbic acid. The strawberry fruit is commercially consumed both in fresh form and can be preserved like Jams, Jellies, and squashes that can be used in off-season. The introduction of day neutral cultivars, fertigation, green house, standardization of agro techniques and improved storage techniques has revolutionized the strawberry industry. Preparing the Plot, Soil & Climate Requirement for Strawberry cultivation Strawberries perform best when grown in a sunny and sheltered part of the plot and the soil needs to be reasonably fertile and free-draining. To ensure the plants thrive, it’s...

अधि‍क कमाई के लिए स्ट्राबेरी की खेती Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) is one of the best natural sources of antioxidant, vitamin 'C', proteins and minerals like P, K, Ca and Fe. It is also anticarcinogenic and anti diabetic. The introduction of day neutral cultivars, fertigation, green house, standardization of agro-techniques and improved storage techniques has revolutionized the strawberry industry. Soil and climate to grow Strawberry Strawberry prefers soil reasonably rich in humus because of 70-90 % of its roots found in the top 15 cm soil. Strawberry should not be grown continuously on the same land and on the land previously devoted to potato, tomato, eggplant, pepper and raspberry. It grows well on soil with pH 5.0-7.5. However, the plant thrives best in slightly acidic soil (pH 5.5-6.5). Soil with pH value of 4.5-5.5 needs liming. The strawberry plants are strongly affected by the environmental parameters like temperature, photoperiod and light intensity. In cold climate, frost as well as winter injury seriously reduce yield of strawberry. Photoperiod has a marked effect on strawberry vegetative growth, plant morphology and yield. Suitable Varieties of strawberry  Growers should grow varieties which are resistant to pests and diseases, adapted to the desired climate, remain productive over a long period, high yield and ability to retain size after the 3rd picking,...
