How to control the growth of greenhouse strawberries during the fruiting period

The excessive growth of strawberries has a huge impact on the growth of strawberries, and will affect the quality and yield of strawberries, so we must prevent the excessive growth of strawberries in spring. Next, I will introduce several ways to prevent the excessive growth of strawberries.

1. Clean up the side buds

When planting strawberries, pay close attention to the number of strawberry side buds growing.

If there are too many side buds of strawberry, the nutrients of the strawberry plant will be dispersed, and the nutrients cannot be concentrated on the flowers and fruits, affecting the normal growth of the strawberry, and thus the quality and yield of the strawberry in the later stage.

Therefore, during the planting process, we must pay more attention to the growth of strawberries. Once we find that the side buds of the strawberry plants have grown too much, we must remove them in time to prevent nutrient loss.

Generally, it is good to keep the number of side buds of strawberries at around two or three. The strawberries should be harvested in time after they are ripe to facilitate the regrowth of the fruits, so pay more attention to the growth of the side buds of the strawberry plants.

2. Control water and fertilizer

We need to reduce the application of water and fertilizer during the growth of strawberries. Because if too much nitrogen fertilizer is applied during the growth of strawberries, the nutrients in the flowers and fruits of strawberries will be excessive, reducing the yield of strawberries.

If too much water is applied, it will increase the growth ability of strawberries, resulting in excessive nutrient consumption and excessive growth of strawberries.

Therefore, you can add enough base fertilizer to the soil before planting strawberries, and then control the application of water and fertilizer during the planting period to prevent the strawberries from absorbing too much nutrients and water and causing excessive growth.

3. Leaf picking and medication

The density of stems and leaves of strawberry plants is important. Planting too densely will affect the growth of strawberries. Therefore, if we find that the plants are too dense during the planting process, we must promptly remove the leaves that are infected with pests and diseases and the denser leaves.

This can reduce the nutrient consumption of the plants, improve the permeability of the strawberry plants, and promote the healthy growth of strawberries.

The excessive growth of strawberries can be treated with chemicals. When using the chemicals, add some potassium dihydrogen phosphate to improve the growth ability of strawberry leaves. If the strawberries are in the flowering period, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be used instead of chemicals to control the growth rate of stems and leaves.

4. Reasonable ventilation

When planting strawberries in spring, it is important to pay attention to ventilation in the greenhouse, because the temperature rises and there is more rain in spring. If ventilation measures are not taken in time, high temperature and high humidity will cause the strawberries to grow vigorously.

Therefore, when planting strawberries in spring, you must ensure good ventilation and air permeability, reduce the humidity and temperature in the greenhouse, control the growth environment of the strawberries, and increase the quality and yield of the strawberries.
