Abstract |
|
Strawberry (Fragaria amanassa Duch) is cultivated throughout the world, but it grows well in a cold and moist climate. The North Eastern states provide ample opportunity for the successful cultivation of strawberry due to its mild and pleasant climatic conditions. The farmers of the region are not acutely aware of the economics for the cultivation of strawberry. Therefore, in this study attempts were made to provide the economic aspects of cultivation of strawberry. The five different cultivars grown on the farm located at Central Institute of Horticulture, Medziphema, Nagaland, and cost of production and net return were calculated. Among the all five cultivars only Winter Down gives the better remuneration. |
