Planting time.
The best time to plant strawberries is spring and autumn. Spring can generally be between February and April, and autumn can be between August and September. If you want to grow it in a greenhouse, you can do it all year round.
2. Plot selection.
It is recommended to choose a neutral or weakly acidic soil with good sunlight, high ground, sufficient organic matter, water retention and strong drainage for strawberry planting.
3. Pre-planting management.
Strawberry planting time can be carried out at the end of flower bud differentiation, generally from late September to early October, when planting, the seedlings should have 5-6 leaves to spread vigorously.
4. Post-planting management.
Usually in the continuous sunny day, it should be watered every 5-7 days, the amount of watering should be based on keeping the soil moist, and the soil should be cultivated and loosened in time after water. In general, the heart leaves of strawberries will stand up the day after planting, and in the next 3-4 days, they will sprout white roots about 1-2 mm long.
5. Water and fertilizer management.
Freshly planted strawberry seedlings need to be watered frequently to keep the soil moist. In the maintenance process, if it is a continuous sunny day, the watering time should be shortened, because strawberries are not waterlogged, so the soil needs to have good permeability, and also pay attention to the drainage in the rainy season. During the growing season of strawberries, you need to water every 5 days or so, try not to water water when watering, and you can put an appropriate amount of nitrogen fertilizer for watering. The fertilizer is mainly flush fertilizer with high nitrogen content or instant compound fertilizer.
6. Disease prevention and control.
In the process of strawberry maintenance, once a disease occurs, it will affect the growth of strawberry seedlings. Generally, red spiders appear on the old leaves of the lower part of strawberry seedlings, and when controlling the disease, it is necessary to pay attention to removing diseased leaves and withered yellow leaves, which can effectively reduce the spread of red spiders, and you can also choose to use drugs to treat red spiders, generally use 20% dimethyl ether emulsifiable concentrate to dilute 1000 1500 times of the liquid, and spray it about once every 5 days. It should be noted that if it is already two weeks before the fruit picking, there is no need to spray to avoid pesticide residues on the fruit.
To sum up, the key points of strawberry cultivation are introduced, and there will be many situations in the production process of strawberries, and if you want to plant strawberries, you must first learn the cultivation technology.
