The present experiment was conducted at the experimental field of College of Agriculture,Central Agricultural University, Imphal, Manipur during the session 2021-22. It was Entitledas Effect of Plant Growth Regulators GA3 and NAA on yield and benefit: cost ratio ofStrawberry (Fragaria x ananassaDuch.) cv. Chandler Under Open Condition of Manipur. Theexperiments plot was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replica and ninetreatments withthe combination of GA3 @25, GA3 @50, GA3 @75,GA3 @100 ppm and NAA @25,NAA @50, NAA @75, NAA @100 ppm with control. Among the various treatments on yield andbenefit: cost ratio with respect to number of fruits (25.20), fruit length (4.73 cm), fruit diameter (2.62 cm), Fruit volume (13.24 cc),Specific gravity (0.98 g/cm3), Duration of harvesting (71.08 days), yield (312 g) per plant, yield (347.15 q/ha) and Cost Ratio (3.73: 1) was found maximum inthe treatment T4 with GA3 @ 75 ppm and the minimum was found with control. Hence,concluded that among treatment T4 (GA3 75 ppm) have a positive impact on yield and benefit:cost ratio of strawberry cv. Chandler under open condition of Manipur.
