This study evaluated the biochemical and quality parameters of strawberry cv. ‘Winter dawn’, in naturally ventilated polyhouse with seven media combinations using six pot culture media viz., soil, sand, farmyard manure, cocopeat, vermicompost and vermiculite under vertical system. The study revealed that maximum TSS (7.73 ºBrix), chlorophyll- a (1.82 mg g-1), chlorophyll- b (0.54 mg g-1), total chlorophyll (2.36 mg g-1), reducing sugar (5.29 %), non-reducing sugar (1.16 %), total sugar (6.45 %), ascorbic acid (54.80 mg/100 g), sugar to acid ratio (6.58) and minimum titratable acidity (0.98 %) recorded in the media combination having soil + cocopeat + vermicompost in the ratio of 1:1:1 on volume (v/v) basis. Also, the same media combination increased the TSS and ascorbic acid by 28.19 and 7.16 per cent over the control, respectively.
