In recent times application of chemical fertilizers is one of the more concerned topics to sustainable and ecofriendly production. The reduction of cultivable lands day by day is another thoughtful issue. Application of different organic manures is an ecofriendly and safer crop production techniques as well as beneficial for soil health. Planting of strawberry in polybags could be a cheaper way of verticultural production (practice of growing strawberries in vertically stacked layers) and overcome the land deficit problems. Considering the mentioned topics, the present experiment was undertaken to evaluate the efficiency of using different organic manures (cowdung, mustard oil cake, poultry manure) on growth, yield and quality of strawberry through various planting media (Planting of strawberry saplings on soil and polybags). The experiment was conducted at Landscaping Section of the Department of Horticulture, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from October 2019 to April 2020. Significant variations were observed due to planting media and organic manures on all growth, yield and quality parameters. Highest fruit length (3.43 cm), breadth of fruits (2.54 cm), Total soluble solids (7.44%), total fruit weight per plant (213.88 g) and total yield (12.80 ton.ha-1) were obtained from planting of strawberry plants in polybags in comparison with planting in soil. In case of organic manures superior data of length of fruits (4.27), breadth of fruits (3.21), total soluble solids (8.10%), total fruit weight per plant (272.50) and yield (16.35 ton.ha-1) were found from mixture application of organic manures instead of single applications.
