What fertilizer is best to apply during the flowering and fruiting period of strawberries? How should strawberries be fertilized? We would also like experienced growers to share their advice.During the flowering and fruiting period, strawberries bear flowers and fruit continuously. They produce many flowers and a large amount of fruit, but because the flowering and fruiting period is long, they consume a lot of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Therefore, once phosphorus and potassium are deficient during the flowering and fruiting period, cold resistance will decrease, fewer flowers will form, flower buds will be weak, and flowering and fruiting will be affected. Not only will the fruit-setting rate be low and the fruit prone to deformities, but the color will also be poor, the sugar content will drop, the flavor will be bland, and the fruit will easily rot and spoil and will not keep well in storage.
Therefore, Zhongdi Network has compiled the fertilization methods for the flowering and fruiting period of strawberries, listed below for growers' reference.
I. During the flowering and fruiting period of strawberries, apply a phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to the strawberry roots once every 15-20 days. Apply 40-50 kg of monopotassium phosphate per mu each time, or apply 70-80 kg of composted and thoroughly decomposed cattle bone meal or pig bone meal, dilute with clean water at 80-100 times, and evenly drench it into the soil around the strawberry plant roots.
II. Spray strawberries once every 7-10 days with an 800-times aqueous solution of Xingpeng Phosphorus and Potassium No. 1, or with a 25-30 times clarified soaking liquid of superphosphate and clean pure plant ash, evenly wetting all leaves, flower buds, flowers and fruit, until water droplets begin to drip down. This supplements phosphorus and potassium fertilizer through the leaves and rapidly raises the phosphorus and potassium levels of the strawberry plants.
