Strawberry leaves turning yellow? Add something to the water when watering, and once they recover they'll grow fast and bear more fruit
Why are strawberry leaves turning yellow? Is it a lack of trace elements? The yellowing leaf state in the picture is clearly a nutrient deficiency, specifically a lack of iron. Looking at the whole plant, there aren't many new leaves. And since it's planted in the ground, the fertilizer is definitely insufficient.
First of all, strawberries like slightly alkaline soil. Judging from the state in the picture, they were probably planted in the north, and in some northern areas the soil is quite alkaline and the water is quite alkaline too. After strawberries have been planted for a while, this situation easily appears. This is clearly iron-deficiency yellowing of the leaves, and if strawberries are replanted continuously in the same soil, they are also prone to this problem. What is called continuous cropping means you've planted several seasons in one spot without adjusting the soil's pH.
You can mix ferrous sulfate with water and pour it on them. A ratio of about 1:1000 with water is fine. Water like this about once every ten days, for three applications. That will effectively relieve it. During this period, after watering with ferrous sulfate, you can give them a multi-element mixed fertilizer mainly based on nitrogen every few days. They will definitely grow very well!
Strawberries like fertilizer, but they are afraid of strong fertilizer. If the concentration is even a little too high, root burn will occur. In severe cases, all the leaves of the whole plant will wilt and dry up and die. So during their growing season, we can regularly mix a little fertilizer into the water and water them with it. Use as little as possible, keep the concentration low, water frequently, and apply light fertilizer frequently. That is the key to growing strawberries well and getting more fruit. A mixed-type fertilizer is fine as the choice of fertilizer.
