<p><em>Strawberry fruit takes less time for production and is easily multiplied. Fruiting an exhaustive process depletes nutrients especially phosphorus as it highly immobile in the soil. An experiment was conducted The University of Peshawar, Pakistan to evaluate different level Phosphorous on growth, yield quality Strawberry Cv Chandler. Results show that Phosphorus at 90 kg ha<sup>-1</sup> significantly influenced days flowering (102.66) strawberry plants while, 80 affected set (2.98), maturity (20.05), Number fruits (7.50) Total tons ha<sup>-1</sup>(3.61). Fruit size (6.42 cm3) 70 ha<sup>-1</sup>. Similarly, Ascorbic acid (62.61), percent acidity (0.64) soluble solids (7.83) were by 60 ha<sup>-1</sup></em></p>
