What are the key points to note when growing strawberries? Master the essentials in one article

Strawberries taste sweet and tart, and people often use the taste of strawberries to describe romance, so it is something very beautiful. Strawberries are very popular on the market, and their price is not low either, which is why more and more people are growing strawberries. So let me ask you a question: how much do you really know about growing strawberries? Let's read the content below together and learn the key points to note when growing strawberries.

1. Soil disinfection

When growing strawberries, we often overlook disinfecting the soil. Usually, we prepare the land, apply base fertilizer, and then get ready to plant. Because we overlook this point, the strawberries we plant are very prone to disease, and the yield and quality of the strawberries are not good either. When growing strawberries, we usually disinfect the soil by sunning the soil, that is, preparing the land about one month before planting and sunning 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 it has a huge impact on the yield and quality of strawberries. 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 it is generally best at around 10 to 28 degrees; when the strawberry fruit swells, the field temperature is best 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 planted, we need to remove the early flowers on the seedlings, and wait until the seedlings grow more vigorously before keeping flowers and protecting the fruit. Second, we need to promptly remove the young runners, and at the same time remove the yellow leaves, old leaves, and diseased and pest-damaged leaves on the ground. In addition, we should 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 stage: proper flower and fruit thinning should be carried out, and agents such as Hualeduo should be sprayed to protect the fruit and increase the fruit-setting rate.

4. Watering and drainage

Strawberries, as a fruit, have a very large demand for water. If watering is not done properly, phenomena such as plant wilting, shriveled fruit with no 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 when flowering, when the water demand is greatest. But one thing to note is that there must be no standing water in the field, otherwise it will also cause root rot and seriously harm the growth of strawberries.

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 quite profitable, at least it is not a fruit that every family is willing to buy. If you are interested, remember to follow us.
