Strawberry field planting and management

As a fruit that is available all year round, strawberry is not only attractive in appearance but also widely loved for its taste. Therefore, at any given time, the scale of strawberry cultivation is quite large. Let’s learn about strawberry field planting and management together.

1. Planting site preparation

Strawberries grow best in loose, moist, well-drained soil. In order to ensure a high survival rate and a good harvest of strawberry transplants, proper land preparation must be carried out before transplanting. First, avoid continuous cropping to reduce the risk of disease. Secondly, deep tillage the soil and focus on applying organic fertilizers , such as well-rotted compost, to improve the soil's air permeability and water retention, thereby promoting the growth of strawberry roots and increasing the survival rate of transplants.

2. Reasonable fertilization

Strawberries have a shallow root system and as an annual crop that blooms and bears fruit multiple times, they have a high demand for nutrients. In order to increase strawberry yield and reduce diseases, scientific fertilization is necessary. After transplanting strawberries, you can use Tianqing Mineral Source humic acid liquid trace elements, dilute it and irrigate the roots or spray it on the leaves to enhance the strawberry seedlings' disease resistance and resistance to repeated cropping, supplement a variety of trace elements, improve the soil, promote strawberry root growth and enhance resistance.

3. Field management

Each crop has its most suitable growing environment. Strawberries have very strict requirements on water, light and temperature. For example, in terms of water management, excessive watering may lead to the Eugenia phenomenon, increase field humidity, and thus induce pests and diseases, affecting strawberry yield and quality. Therefore, field management must be strengthened to lay the foundation for a bumper strawberry harvest.

4. Pest and disease control

Follow the principle of "prevention first, comprehensive prevention and treatment". During the seedling stage and before planting, prevent the occurrence of anthracnose, disinfect the soil, and use pesticides such as Shiba Indica and Anthracnose Fumei for prevention and control. Use a sulfur fumigator on nights after warming to prevent powdery mildew. If powdery mildew has already occurred, it can be treated with drugs such as Amicida and Cuibei. Insect pests mainly include aphids and mites. You can use cypermethrin and imidacloprid to control aphids, and use cypermethrin and nisoran to control mites.

5. Harvest management

Strawberries should be harvested in batches to avoid overripening. When harvesting, just hold the fruit stalk and pick it off gently to avoid damaging the fruit. Avoid harvesting on rainy days.

The above is an introduction to the key points of strawberry field planting and management. Friends who grow strawberries can learn and refer to it. The planting plan will be adjusted according to the season.
