2. Strawberry seedling raising methods
1. Watering
After strawberry seedlings are planted, water immediately to settle the roots. Within 5 days after planting, water once every evening. After that, water once every other day until the seedlings survive.
2. Topdressing
For greenhouse strawberries, topdressing is generally applied 2 to 3 times after planting and survival until before and after covering with black plastic film. Each time, dissolve 3 to 5 kilograms of urea in about 1000 to 1500 kilograms of water per mu and apply by watering. After that, topdressing is mostly done as foliar topdressing according to seedling vigor. Generally, topdressing is combined with watering and should avoid the high-temperature period.
3. Thinning buds and flowers
Bud and flower thinning should be done as early as possible. Generally, this work can be carried out after flowering. Mainly keep the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd order flowers, and first remove the 4th and 5th order flower buds, black flowers (frost-damaged flowers), and severely deformed fruits. Generally, each strawberry plant keeps 6 to 7 fruits on the terminal inflorescence, and the number of fruits retained on subsequent inflorescences depends on growth and harvest conditions.
