Abstract: Strawberry is a small fruit but for quality higher production large amount of nutrients are required for which efficient nutrient management is essential. Though inorganic fertilizers are major source of nutrients, imbalanced application of only chemical fertilizers may cause deleterious effect on soil health and environment. Organic manures can be used to supply nutrients for sustainable growth, yield and quality of strawberry. But sole application of organic manure has some problems like imbalanced supply of nutrients, not cost effective and less production as compared to inorganic fertilization. Biofertilizers are natural fertilizers with living microbial inoculants and can make unavailable nutrients available to plants. Integrated nutrient management can play important role for sustainable strawberry growth, yield and quality by maintaining long term soil fertility. Keeping in view of proper nutrient management for better growth, yield and quality of strawberry, different nutrient management in strawberry is reviewed.
