The present study was made for economized strawberry production in sub-tropical areas with the use of different genotypes namely Winter Dawn, Sweet Charlie, Safari, Fortuna, Cristle, Elyana and Sabrina were evaluated. The maximum plant height (32.30 cm), number of leaves (30.40), plant spread North-South and East–West (48.47 cm and 53.93 cm respectively), leaf area (206.04 cm2), leaf area index (6.95), total dry weight (29.04g), maximum total chlorophyll content (2.33 mg/g of fresh weight) was observed maximum in genotype Sabrina, while the Cristal accounted maximum runners per plant (10.70). The genotype Elyana took minimum number of days for flowering (53.37) whereas, genotype Sabrina took longest duration for flowering (69.80 days). The maximum number of flowers per plant (29.06), number of fruits per plant (22.36) and yield per plant (380.29 g) was recorded in genotype Sabrina. The maximum fruit weight (20.01 g), diameter (3.28 cm) and volume (24.37 cc) was recorded in genotype Fortuna. Among different genotypes evaluated, Fortuna resulted in maximum benefit cost ratio (2.56).
