Strawberry planting technical questions summarized: master the methods in autumn and winter and you need not worry about the results

As autumn and winter arrive, strawberries also usher in a brand-new marketing season. Eating a large, bright red strawberry in the cold winter feels like such a happy thing just thinking about it. There are now many strawberry varieties on the market, and cream strawberries, Dandong strawberries and others have all been big popular choices in recent years, which has also become a brand-new challenge for farmers. So what about strawberry planting technology? What should be done if they do not bear fruit?

1. Strawberry planting technology

Strawberries are expensive, so the care they require is naturally considerable as well. Every year, some farmers are happy and some are worried. To help everyone take fewer detours, the editor has summarized the following key planting technology points for you:

1. Choosing land

Whether planting vegetables and fruits or green plants, choosing suitable land is the first step toward success. The land for strawberry planting should be selected in a higher position and kept level, which makes later irrigation and drainage convenient. After choosing the land, weeds should be cleared away in time to make later sowing more convenient. Generally, neutral land is the most suitable choice.

2. Planting out

The quality of planting out has an enormous effect on the subsequent growth of strawberries. Before planting out, pay attention to the slightest changes in the strawberries and let the flowers all grow in one direction. Carry it out after determining the planting density, because density will affect the strawberries' subsequent fertilization and growth. Generally, 5500-6000 strawberry seedlings per mu of strawberry field is the most suitable.

3. Watering

On the day the strawberry seedlings are planted in the ground, they can be watered once to keep the soil at good moisture and give the strawberries a warm, moist environment. After that, you can choose to water twice a week. Young strawberry seedlings are relatively short of water in the early stage, and repeated irrigation can let them grow quickly.

Note: control the amount of water; do not water too much at one time.

4. Fertilizing

Because strawberries have a flowering season, fertilizing needs to begin after planting out. First, we need to prepare base fertilizer. During the fruiting period, add strawberry-specific nutrient fertilizer and potassium dihydrogen phosphate fertilizer. For the specific ratio, you can ask for a matching recommendation at a specialty store.

5. Covering with film

Building strawberry greenhouses is meant to create a good growing environment, and during the film-covering period you naturally cannot relax either. Generally, film covering is chosen in March, which can allow the sweetness of the strawberries to be released and can also increase strawberry yield.

6. Harvesting

Harvesting is basically the final wrap-up work. Farmers should pay attention in the strawberry field not to trample off flowers and fruits, and after harvesting is completed, the strawberries can be manually packaged and then taken by cart to market for sale.

2. What to do if strawberries do not bear fruit

Many friends who grow strawberries still encounter the problem of them not bearing fruit even after mastering the above planting methods. The editor has prepared the following clever tips for you:

1. Too strong sunlight in summer will cause the strawberry high-temperature heat index to rise, producing a negative effect on subsequent fruiting.

2. Failure to fertilize and weed in time. During the strawberry growing period, fertilizing is very important. While fertilizing in time, you must also grasp the fertilizer concentration well; do not make it too strong or too weak.

3. Field pests and diseases affect strawberry fruiting. If strawberries are infected with pests and diseases during the growing period, be sure to promptly buy the corresponding pesticides and fertilizers for treatment.

Strawberry planting cannot succeed in just a day or two. It requires farmer friends to persist more, cultivate patiently and master the planting tricks well, and then success will come naturally.
