This extensive study explores the many aspects of strawberries, including its historical roots, contemporary cultivation practices, and methods of propagation. The tale chronicles the migration of Fragaria species throughout continents, starting with their ancient origins in Pliny's writings. It emphasizes important breeding events that resulted in the creation of Fragaria ananassa. A comprehensive elucidation of the botanical characteristics of the strawberry plant is provided, including its root system, stem, foliage, and reproductive organs. The conversation covers a range of cultivars, with a particular focus on their reactions to distinct photoperiods and significant agronomic characteristics. This text provides a clear explanation of the important aspects related to soil and climate that are essential for effective cultivation. It also offers valuable insights into how environmental factors affect crop output and the quality of fruits. This study provides a comprehensive examination of several propagation techniques, such as stolon propagation, crown division, and micropropagation, with a focus on their practical implications and significant contributions to the field of strawberry farming. In summary, this publication offers a comprehensive examination of strawberries, making it a great reference for researchers, cultivators, and enthusiasts in the horticulture industry.
