Greenhouse strawberry planting technology

When planting strawberries in a greenhouse, choose varieties such as Fengxiang and Mingbao that have many flowers, large fruits, high yields, easy coloring, and few deformed fruits. The soil should be loose and breathable, plowed, and sterilized at high temperatures to remove all possible insect eggs. The land should be convenient for irrigation and drainage. After fine preparation of the land, you can plant the strawberry seedlings. You can directly plant the grown strawberry seedlings, or you can sow the seeds in the greenhouse, but you must control the spacing.

Greenhouse strawberry management methods

When managing greenhouse strawberries, it is best to control the growth temperature between fifteen and twenty-two degrees. When the temperature is below five degrees, you can cover the roof with plastic film to prevent the seedlings from being suffocated by high temperature. Light should be supplemented in time two weeks before the strawberries bloom. Control the amount of watering during the flowering and fruiting periods. Drip irrigation can be used for watering. Bees can be released in the greenhouse for pollination. It is advisable to spray pesticides when there are fewer flowers. Spraying pesticides during the flowering period may cause fruit deformities.
