An experiment was undertaken on strawberry cv. Chandler to study the effect of application of nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) prior to planting followed by foliar spray of gibberellic acid (GA3) or paclobutrazol (PP333) prior to flowering on growth, yield and quality attributes. Results revealed that application of 100 Kg of N, 40 Kg of K and 50 ppm of GA3 increased plant height (25.62 and 26.97 cm), number of leaves (23.69 and 24.39), leaf area (142.29 and 143.68 cm2), number of runners (16.77 and 16.97) and number of plantlets per runner (5.56 and 6.14), whereas application of 60 Kg of N, 40 Kg of K and 300 ppm of PP333 was found to be most effective in increase in number of flowers per plant (16.56 and 19.41), berry set (83.91 and 84.30%) and berry yield (10.63 and 14.50 t ha-1) during 2010-11 and 2011-12, respectively, besides ameliorating quality parameters.
