A comprehensive evaluation of fifteen strawberry genotypes was conducted over two consecutive growing seasons (2015-16 and 2016-17) at the experimental field, Department of Fruit Science, Dr. YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, Himachal Pradesh. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Correlation and path analysis studies in fifteen strawberry cultivars namely Addie, Belrubi, Brighton, Chandler, Confectura, Douglas, Etna, Fern, Gorella, Elyana, Selva, Shasta, Sweet Charlie, Tioga, and Torrey were carried out. Number of fruits/plant, average berry weight and leaf number/plant had high positive direct effect on yield/plant during first year of study while during 2016-17, days to flowering had maximum positive direct effect on fruit yield.
