Abstract
An experiment was conducted at the Horticulture 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. Brix percentage was also found higher in SG-1 germplasm.
