What are the cultivation methods and precautions of strawberries

Strawberry cultivation method

Strawberry belongs to the Rosaceae family of the Rosales order. It can generally be propagated by division or seeds. It likes sunlight and is shade-tolerant. The suitable temperature is 15-22℃. It is suitable for growing in loose, fertile, slightly acidic soil. Too sticky soil is breathable and has poor drainage, which is not conducive to the growth of strawberries.

  When growing strawberries, it is best to use loose, fertile, slightly acidic soil for cultivation, control the growth temperature at 5-30℃, take cooling measures when the temperature is high, give it sufficient sunlight, water it appropriately at normal times, and it is better to water it after the soil is dry.

Watering method

Strawberries are not tolerant of moisture. Water them sparingly when they sprout in early spring, water them moderately after the soil is dry, and also water them before winter. If it rains too much, drainage measures must be taken immediately.

Fertilization method

Strawberries require a lot of fertilizer from planting to flowering and fruiting. In addition to applying basal fertilizer, you can also supplement fertilizer in time. During the fruit expansion period and the early stage of harvest, apply 10 kg of strawberry-specific fertilizer or diammonium phosphate per mu.

Pruning methods

During the growth period of strawberries, the leaves are constantly renewed. Generally, the leaves at the bottom of the plant fall off gradually during the growth process. When the petioles turn yellow, they cannot carry out photosynthesis and must be pruned immediately to save nutrients.

Strawberry farming precautions

1. Prevent and control diseases and pests: Strawberries are easily attacked by diseases and pests, generally leaf spot, root rot or powdery mildew. Take measures immediately after discovery, spray pesticides or disinfect the soil. The specific approach depends on the situation.

2. Control the temperature: The temperature suitable for strawberry growth is 5-30℃. Too high or too low temperature will affect its growth. When the temperature exceeds 30℃, appropriate shading measures should be taken.
