India: Jhalawar experimenting with strawberry cultivation
“The strawberry is generally grown in hilly areas. Jhalawar’s climate and black soil, rich in organic content, suits the fruit,” he said.
Professor IB Maurya, who is in charge of the strawberry project at the Horticulture and Forestry College, said that the experiment has been carried out for the last two years and over a dozen varieties of strawberries have been tried. “But only the winter dawn variety has shown positive results, not only in controlled conditions, but also in open agricultural fields,” he said.
