How can strawberry cultivation increase sugar content? Pay attention to management at these several levels

   I believe farmers who have grown strawberries will already know that, apart from inherent factors such as variety, the sugar content of strawberries is also closely related to management methods at several levels, including light and temperature. Therefore, if you want to increase the sugar content in strawberry cultivation, you need to pay attention to managing these several levels well. Next, the editor will talk with everyone about the management matters at these several levels.

   1. Maintain stable light for strawberries

   1. Even on continuous rainy days, if the temperature at noon is not very low, you should persist in uncovering the straw mat to promote the plants' reception of diffused light.

   2. Keep the greenhouse film clean so as to improve light.

   3. Lay silver-gray film or reflective curtains on the ground to increase the light intensity among strawberry plants.

   4. If conditions permit, you can install special plant grow lights in the strawberry greenhouse.

   2. Enlarge the day-night temperature difference in the strawberry field

   1. During the strawberry fruiting period, special attention should be paid to reducing the nighttime temperature as much as possible while maintaining normal strawberry growth, enlarging the day-night temperature difference, and enhancing nutrient accumulation in strawberries.

   2. In extreme weather such as rainy or snowy days, you should not blindly keep warm; maintain a reasonable temperature and enlarge the temperature difference as much as possible during the day.

   3. Moderately control soil moisture in the strawberry field

   During the strawberry fruit harvest period, water should be drained moderately to improve fruit coloring and sugar content. In the late stage of strawberry fruit ripening, the irrigation frequency should also be controlled appropriately.

   4. The ratio of strawberry leaves to fruit must be reasonable

   1. When removing leaves from strawberries, be sure to do it with moderation and do not remove too many leaves.

   2. During the full fruiting period, decide whether to cut leaves according to the growth of the plants and leaves, and the leaf-to-fruit ratio must be appropriate.

   5. Apply fertilizer effectively to strawberries

   1. Control the application of nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise it will be unfavorable for strawberry color conversion and sweetening.

   2. On the basis of applying sufficient organic fertilizer, attach importance to the comprehensive supply of medium and trace element fertilizers.

   3. During the strawberry fruiting period, pay attention to supplementing potassium fertilizer, which has a certain effect on increasing the sugar content of strawberries.

   The above is an introduction to some management measures on how to increase the sugar content of strawberries.
