How to Cultivate Strawberries
Do you know about these? Some small experiences in green plant maintenance regarding how to cultivate strawberries and the techniques and management of strawberry planting. Let's follow the editor to see the specific content!
In recent years, many farmers have started planting strawberries, not only because strawberries are rich in vitamins and essential minerals and trace elements for the human body, but also because strawberries have high medicinal value. It is recommended to plant strawberries in well-lit areas, and they also have high water requirements. Let's introduce the planting techniques and daily management of strawberries from four points: planting time, planting methods, water and fertilizer management, and disease prevention and control.
1. Planting Time
The seedlings of strawberries are mostly cultivated in the following spring, but they can also be done in July-August of the year when the seeds are collected, as strawberries are suitable for growing in a moderate temperature environment. The temperature begins to warm up in spring, which accelerates the growth of strawberry seedlings. Therefore, planting strawberry seedlings in spring will be more conducive to the growth and later maintenance of strawberries.
2. Planting Methods
When planting strawberries, pay attention to the choice of soil. Generally, we choose well-lit, neutral or slightly acidic soil with sufficient organic matter and good drainage. After choosing the right soil, you can start planting strawberries. It is usually done at night or in the early morning to avoid direct sunlight. When planting, you can dig a hole about the same depth as the strawberry clod every 45 centimeters. After placing the strawberry in it and covering it with soil, you can water it to settle. It is important that the settling water should be watered thoroughly.
3. Water and Fertilizer Management
Strawberries have high water requirements during growth. Generally, water needs to be灌溉ed every 4-6 days during the flowering period, and every 2 days during the fruit growth and ripening period. After the fruit is harvested, water needs to be灌溉ed every 7 days or so. When watering, try to avoid clear water and add a small amount of nitrogen fertilizer for irrigation. Later-stage fertilization mainly focuses on high-nitrogen liquid fertilizers or soluble compound fertilizers.
4. Disease Prevention and Control
In the process of maintaining strawberries, any disease will affect the growth of the strawberry seedlings. Generally, red spiders appear on the lower part of the old leaves of the strawberry seedlings. When controlling the disease, it is necessary to remove the diseased leaves and yellow leaves, which can effectively reduce the spread of red spiders. You can also choose to use drugs to control red spiders, generally by diluting 20% emamectin benzoate emulsion 1000-1500 times, and spraying every 5 days. It is important to note that if it is within 2 weeks before the fruit is harvested, there is no need to spray, to avoid pesticide residues on the fruit.
The above is a comprehensive explanation of how to cultivate strawberries and the techniques and management of strawberry planting, hoping it can help you.
