Abstract

Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) is a perennial plant which grows predominantly in the temperate climate and belongs to the family Rosaceae. Strawberry is one of the most delicious, rich sources of vitamins, minerals with a tasty flavor constituting of vitamin C, vitamin A and proteins. However, growth, yield and quality production of strawberry is declining due to growing urbanization, industrialization etc. There are numerous ways to overcome the declining growth, yield and quality of strawberry but the best method is by utilizing the unallocated areas like terrace, rooftop or balcony gardening in urban areas to meet the demand of increased population. Thus, strawberry being a shallow rooted plant can be easily grown in a container filled with a potting media and suitable for growing in terrace garden or rooftop gardening. The present review focuses on the Effect of Potting Media on Growth, Yield and Quality of Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) in terrace gardening.
