Nutrient uptake by strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) cv. Chandler and weeds under different weed management practices

Studies were conducted on strawberry employing nineteen weed control treatments. All the weed control measures were effective in reducing the removal of NPK by weeds at harvest which ultimately led to more NPK uptake by fruit due to efficient weed control. Highest NPK uptake by weeds was recorded in weedy check where-as, highest NPK uptake by berries was observed in weed free treatment followed by polythene mulch and oxyfluorfen @ 0.55 kg a.i./ha.
