Author(s): SG Gollagi, Muralidhara BM and Ravi GK
Abstract: Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) is one of the most important delicious fruits of the world. In present days, strawberry cultivation is gaining popularity in different states of India. Some of the important strawberry growing states are Haryana, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Maharashtra, Himachal Pradesh and Kerala. The application of PGR’s are increasing day by day in the production of fruit crops, due to its various advantages. Plant growth regulators play an important role in strawberry production by influencing directly or indirectly in various plant processes like seed germination, plant growth and development. PGR’s also play a key role in breaking of seed dormancy, to increase the runner’s production, to improve flowering and fruit set, to increase fruit size and yield, to improve the fruit quality traits like fruit colour, TSS and acidity and to enhance the shelf life of the strawberry. In this review article a detailed information on use of growth regulators in different stages of plant life cycle were given and also the research work was done in different countries on the use of various plant growth regulators in strawberry production have been incorporated.
