Abstract

Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa), a perennial herbaceous plant, renowned for its delectable taste and rich nutritional profile, holds a prominent position in global fruit markets. As an emerging subtropical and temperate crop, understanding its macronutrient requirements, particularly nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), is vital for optimizing growth and yield. However, excessive fertilizer use, particularly inorganic fertilizers, poses environmental and economic challenges, necessitating sustainable nutrient management practices. This study investigates the influence of N, P, and K on strawberry growth and productivity, aiming to determine optimal nutrient levels for maximizing yield while minimizing environmental impact and production costs.
