What are the key points to note when growing strawberries? A detailed explanation of the latest essentials

Strawberries taste sweet and sour, and people often use the taste of strawberries to describe romance, so it is considered something very beautiful. Strawberries are very popular on the market, and the price is not low either, which is why more and more people are growing strawberries. So the editor would like to ask everyone a question: how much do you actually know about growing strawberries? Let us read the content below together and learn about the points to note when growing strawberries.

1. Soil disinfection

When growing strawberries, we often overlook disinfecting the soil. Generally, after preparing the land and applying base fertilizer, we are ready to plant. But precisely because we overlook this point, the strawberries we grow are very prone to disease, and the yield and quality of the strawberries are not very good either. When growing strawberries, we usually disinfect the soil by solarizing it, that is, preparing the land about one month before planting and solarizing the soil. Of course, there is another method: using calcium cyanamide and sealing the soil with plastic film for disinfection, and the effect is also very good.

2. Temperature regulation

Temperature regulation is very important when growing strawberries, and its impact on strawberry yield and quality is very great. Different growth stages of strawberries require different temperatures, so we need to regulate the temperature according to the different growth stages. During the seedling stage of strawberries, the temperature is generally controlled between 15 and 30 degrees; during the flowering stage of strawberries, the temperature must not be too high, and generally the best range is about 10 to 28 degrees; when the strawberry fruit swells, the field temperature is best kept between 8 and 25 degrees. Finally, when strawberries are harvested, the temperature is generally between 10 and 20 degrees. So during the growing process, we need to adjust the temperature reasonably.

3. Plant management

Adjusting the strawberry plants is also very necessary. After strawberries are established, we should remove the early flowers on the seedlings, and wait until the seedlings grow more vigorously before keeping flowers and protecting fruit. Next, we should promptly remove the young runners, and at the same time remove yellow leaves, old leaves, and diseased or pest-damaged leaves above ground. In addition, prune the old roots and weak roots of strawberries to promote the growth of new roots. The last point is the management of strawberries during the flowering and fruiting period: carry out proper flower and fruit thinning, and spray agents such as Hualeduo to protect the fruit and increase the fruit-setting rate.

4. Watering and drainage

Strawberries, as a fruit, have a very high demand for water. If watering is not done properly, symptoms such as plant wilting, dried and shriveled fruit without moisture, and flower and fruit drop may occur. Generally, after strawberries are planted, we need to water about once every ten days to ensure sufficient moisture in the field, especially during flowering, when the water demand is greatest. However, one thing to note is that waterlogging must not occur in the field, otherwise it can also cause root rot and seriously harm strawberry growth.

Nowadays, the scale of strawberry cultivation in our lives is getting larger and larger, but judging by the current market conditions, growing strawberries is still very profitable, at least it is not a fruit that every family is willing to buy. If you are interested, remember to follow us.
