How to manage strawberry seedlings? All the technical key points are here
The market demand for strawberries in China is very large, and they are grown in all parts of the country. When growing strawberries, if you want high yield and good quality, a reasonable management method is very important. When managing strawberries, we need to reasonably adjust management techniques according to the growth stage of the strawberries. So how should they be managed during the strawberry seedling stage? Today, the editor brings you the management techniques for the strawberry seedling stage. Let's take a look below!
1. Reasonable watering
After the strawberry seedlings are planted, the first thing to do well is watering. In addition to watering once with the settling water after planting, water about twice a day for the next 3 days to keep the soil moist. Then, after the seedlings have recovered, reduce the amount of watering. Watering should mainly be done by drip irrigation, which can control the water amount well. If the rainy season occurs, then drainage should be done in time to protect the root system, and then loosen the soil appropriately to improve soil aeration. When planting, if the temperature is too high, then the leaves should be appropriately moistened to supplement water, to meet the leaves' demand for water and promote recovery.
2. Shading and cooling
The high-temperature tolerance of seedlings is relatively weak, so during the strawberry seedling stage, we should also pay attention to doing a good job of shading and cooling. If the temperature is too high, it can very easily cause high-temperature seedling scorching in strawberries. High-temperature seedling scorching in strawberry seedlings generally occurs when sudden clear weather follows cloudy days. If sudden clear weather follows continuous cloudy days, then the water evaporation in the field will rise sharply. As a result, the root system cannot adapt in time and absorbs insufficiently, causing seedling scorching. Therefore, in this situation, shade should be provided in time so that the strawberries can gradually adapt.
3. Stop replanting seedlings
During the recovery period of strawberry seedlings, we should pay attention to stopping the work of replanting seedlings. In addition, we should also pay attention to stopping the work of leaf picking and weeding. If these operations are carried out, then they are very unfavorable to the recovery of the strawberries. The recovery period of strawberries should generally be carried out when watering the settling water after planting. Carefully inspect the strawberry seedlings to see whether they meet the standard of strong seedlings, and if there are abnormalities, adjust in time. The surplus seedlings can also be planted in nutrient pots, and after about three weeks after strawberry planting, carry out another centralized seedling replanting.
4. Spraying foliar fertilizer
After planting, do not spray any foliar fertilizer, because no matter what kind of fertilizer it is, it may cause the leaves to be burned. It should be sprayed in the later stage of recovery when new leaves unfold, and an appropriate amount of biological bacterial fertilizer can be sprayed when watering. Biological bacteria are very beneficial to the growth of strawberry seedlings, and can protect and promote the root system. They can also prompt strawberry seedlings to take root quickly and reduce the incidence of root diseases.
The above is a brief introduction to strawberry seedling stage management techniques. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only, and we hope it can help everyone!
