How to remedy the problem of withered strawberry seedlings?

During the seedling management process of strawberry seedlings , it is often encountered that the strawberry seedlings wither. Although it may be a normal phenomenon sometimes, don't take it lightly. It may also be the wilting caused by diseases and other reasons, which can be more harmful. So how to remedy the situation when strawberry seedlings wither? Let’s learn more about it below.

1. Timely pruning

First, disinfect the tools such as scissors you will use, and trim the yellow and withered stems and leaves of the strawberry seedlings one by one. You can start from the base first. Do not leave any withered leaves, otherwise the withering will spread to other parts.

2. Watering to prevent drought

Strawberries have shallow root systems and weak drought resistance, so if drought causes the strawberry seedlings to wither. You need to water them in time to increase the local humidity of the strawberry seedlings. When watering, be sure to water them in small amounts and multiple times to keep the soil continuously moist. Do not water too much at one time, otherwise it will only worsen the wilting situation.

3. Soil improvement

Strawberries prefer acidic soil. Salinization of the soil will cause the water in the strawberry seedlings to be lost to the root system, and the leaves and roots will wither due to lack of water. Therefore, soil improvement can be achieved by adding microbial organic fertilizers , microbial agents, etc. Alternatively, you can accelerate the discharge of residual salt in the soil by deep plowing and loosening the soil.

4. Lighting adjustment

Long-term high temperature and exposure in summer is also one of the main reasons for the withering of strawberry seedlings. In this case, you can avoid direct sunlight in the summer and build a shade net above it to block and weaken the sunlight. Wait for the plant to recover and then gradually expose it to normal light.

5. Enhance nutrients

Dry leaves, wilting, and premature aging of strawberry seedlings are usually closely related to malnutrition. It is recommended to apply nutrient-balanced suspended carbon water-soluble fertilizer from time to time, which can not only maintain the root system, but also make the strawberry seedlings have good roots and strong roots.

6. Disease prevention and control

Strawberry wilt is also one of the reasons why strawberry seedlings wilt. For prevention and control, the pesticide used should be 1000 times diluted 80% carbendazim wettable powder, or 600 times diluted 47% spring thunder·copper king wettable powder for spraying. But the best point is to rotate with grass crops for more than 3 years before growing strawberry seedlings, such as rotating with aquatic crops such as rice, to achieve better prevention effects.

In general, there are many reasons why strawberry seedlings wither. The key is to identify these reasons and then solve them accordingly. The problem of strawberry seedlings withering will naturally be solved.
