STRAWBERRY 1. INTRODUCTION

Strawberry (Fragaria vesca) is an important fruit crop of India and its commercial production ispossible in temperate and sub-tropical areas of the country. 2. OBJECTIVE The main objective of this report is to present a bankable one-acre model for high uality

commercial cultivation of the crop.

3. BACKGROUND

3.1 Area & Productio

Strawberry is cultivated in !imachal "radesh# $ttar "radesh# %aharashtra# &est 'engal# elhi#!aryana# "unjab and ajasthan. Sub-tropical areas in *ammu have also the potential to growthe crop under irrigated condition. +stimates of area and production of the crop are not available.

3.2 Ecoo!ic I!"ortace Strawberry is rich in ,itamin and iron. Some varieties vi. /lympus# !ood 0 Shuksan havinghigh flavour and bright red colour are suitable for ice-cream making. /ther varieties like%idway# %idland# ardinal# !ood# edchief and 'eauty are ideal for processing.

#. $ARKET ANA%'I' AND 'TRATEG #.1 E("ort)I!"ort Tred* India e1ports strawberry mainly to 2ustria# 'angladesh# 3ermany# *ordan 0 $.S.2.

The trend in e1port of strawberry from India during the period 4555-6777 to 6774-76 is givenin Graph 1 and country-wise e1ports during 6777-76 in Table-1.

/.3 %ad Pre"aratio

The soil is ploughed during summer with a soil turning plough which is followed by repeated

ploughing to make soil friable# remove weeds and stubbles. Soil fumigation with a mi1ture of

methyl bromide and chloropicrin helps to increase root system# reduce fertilier reuirement

and control the weeds.

Strawberry is commercially propagated by runner plants.

Sandalwood is a highly valued aromatic plant with increasing demand. It is a small evergreen

plant with slender branches up to ;m in height. Softwood is white and the heartwood is

yellowish brown and strongly scented. /n steam distillation of this heartwood Sandalwood oil is

obtained that is widely used in perfumery# cosmetic and drug industries.

'OI% AND C%I$ATE Sandalwood tree is adapted to a wide variety of soils with p! ranging from A.8 to 8.8 with area

temperature ranging from 8 to 87 degree elsius. It is not region specific and can adapt to

different environmental condition. The plantation-grown trees with irrigation and fertiliation

perform e1ceedingly well compared to natural forest condition. It grows on clay to sandy loam

soil. The trees grown on poor soils# particularly on stony or gravelly soil# donHt attain such large

dimensions# but produce more highly scented wood# giving a better yield of oil. @aturally it has

been found to grow in eccan plateauat an altitude of ;77 to 4787m# with annual rainfall of ;77

to 4777 mm. which is considered ideal for this species. The formation of heartwood seems to be

best at between ;77 to 577 m altitude.

P%ANTING TI$E

Ideal time of is %ay- june with the onset of monsoon. 'ut if proper irrigation facility is available#

can be planted throughout the year.

The Sandalwood plants are progressively harvested between the ages of 47 to 48 years.

+1pected production of heartwood per tree at the end of 48 years. +1pected production of

heartwood per tree at the end of 48 years would be about 48 to A7kgs. !arvesting at this age is

much more economical and commercially viable. The root is also scented and richest in oil

contents. Therefore# harvesting is done by uprooting the tree and not by just cutting above the

ground surface. !arvesting is usually done during monsoon dry period invariably.

Stevia is an incredibly sweet herb, obtained by a natural selective breeding

process of the sweetest Stevia parent plants. The sweetener, stevioside, extracted

from the plants, is 300 times sweeter than sugar. The fresh leaves have nice

liquorices taste.... The dried leaves of Stevia are about 40 times sweeter thansugar .

The (ocu)ente( properties of Stevia are antibacterial, anti fungal, antiAinCa))atory, antiA
