Abstract
This pot experiment was conducted at Horticulture Research Farm. Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural
University. Dhaka. Bangladesh during the period from November 2010 to March 2011. The
experiment was laid out in split plot design with fbur replications and each main plot had three
subplot with three pot. Three genotypes of strawberry namely. RABI-3. Camarosa. Nohime were
grown with three shade treatments namely. 100% sunlight. 20% shade. 35% shade.
RAI3I-3 and Camarosa produced better yield and marketable quality. In case of Soluble Solid
Content and ascorbic acid, Camarosa performed better under 20% shade. Result indicated that
100% sunlight is required for the best strawberry production but under 20% shade fruit quality
was better. Under 35% shade all the genotypes had ill performance fbi all parameters studied.
The genotype Nohime failed to show better performance in quality attributes. The highest yield
was observed in Camarosa followed by RABI-3 and the lowest in Nohime. The highest yield and
the best vegetative growth were obtained under full sunlight followed by 20% shade treatment.
Results also revealed that 35% shade was unsuitable for strawberry cultivation.
