II. How to plant strawberry seedlings for a high survival rate

1. Strawberries are suited to planting in soil with plenty of sunlight and good drainage. Soil depth should be 8-10 inches.

2. For large strawberry plants, the row spacing should be 12 inches and the plant spacing about 18 inches. Remove the runners from the plants in time to favor fruit set. Strawberry yields are cyclical, so it is best to cultivate some new plants in the first few years of planting.

3. If you do not like managing strawberries, you can plant one strawberry every 18-24 inches, so the strawberries can spread freely. Of course, it will look a bit messy and the strawberries will not be large. If you want to avoid this, you can remove some runners as appropriate.

4. In autumn, spread a layer of soil over the plants to prevent frost damage. After the soil freezes, you can spread 3-4 inches of dry straw over the plants. By the following spring, when new leaves grow out, remove the straw again. Once the weather turns warm and stable, remove the covering soil from the surface of the plants. But leave some dry straw between the rows to prevent weed growth and preserve soil moisture.

III. How much money can you make from planting one mu of greenhouse strawberries

1. Investment per mu on your own land

Seedlings 3,000, fertilizer 500, pesticide 500, plastic film and drip irrigation 500, steel-pipe greenhouse 6,000 yuan (this is an ordinary one, usable for 5 to 7 years; the best quality one costs 12,000 yuan and is usable for 20 years), totaling about 10,000 yuan; if you rent land and hire people, then add land rent 1,000 and labor 2,000, making the investment per mu 13,000 yuan. Yield is generally 4,000 to 6,000 jin, the price is 5 to 12 yuan per jin, the output value is 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, and the profit is about 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.

2. Input cost of strawberry seedlings

Assume the cultivation rack length is 40 m, and non-woven fabric is used as the cultivation substrate container in each cultivation trough. With a four-tier stepped cultivation rack, the top-tier trough plants 2 rows of strawberry plants and the remaining troughs plant 1 row each, so each cultivation rack bed can plant 8 rows of strawberries. In a standard production greenhouse with a span of 8.1 m, a length of 82.3 m, and a floor area of 667 sq m, a total of 8 four-tier stepped cultivation racks can be placed, meaning a total of 64 rows of strawberry plants can be planted. If planted at a plant spacing of 0.2 m, then per mu you can plant 64 rows × (40/0.2+1) plants/row = 12,864 plants. Calculating the survival rate at 90%, one mu requires purchasing a total of 14,294 strawberry seedlings. At the current price of about 0.45 yuan per strawberry seedling, the investment in strawberry seedlings per mu is 6,432.3 yuan.

Planting two crops of strawberries per mu each year, the fixed investment is 7,548.84 yuan + 6,432.3 yuan × 2 + 8,000 yuan × 2 = 36,613.44 yuan.

Based on the above analysis, the profit is: 142,940 yuan - 36,613.44 yuan - 24,000 yuan = 82,326.56 yuan.

3. Wealth-building case

Can one mu of strawberries bring an annual income of 40,000 yuan?

For local people in Zhangqiu, being able to eat locally grown strawberries in winter was something unimaginable in the past. Today, the "Weizhijin" strawberry planting base in Diao Town of the city has not only made the unimaginable come true, but also opened up a new path for local farmers to build wealth and increase income.

Inside the greenhouse of the "Weizhijin" strawberry planting base, warm sunlight shines on the plastic film, and among the lush green leaves are hidden delicate, juicy red fruits.

"Planting in greenhouses is not constrained by the seasons. I originally thought I would grow some strawberries and make a little money during the winter slack season, but I never expected that this one mu of strawberries could bring in 40,000 yuan a year." Speaking of the sweet rewards of growing strawberries, Wei Jin, a plain farmer from Diao Town, immediately opened up: "An annual income of 40,000 yuan from one mu of strawberries - that is the return a farmer would get only from growing forty mu of grain."
