3. Sow the prepared soil into a basin and water it once. After the soil absorbs fertilizer for 1 hour, the strawberry seeds can be sowed. Try to spread it evenly because the strawberry seeds are very small and sowing in a pile will reduce the germination rate of the seeds.

4. Sprinkle strawberry seeds with water and sprinkle with a little fine soil. The soil is not too thick, 2-3 mm, and can cover strawberry seeds. After sprinkling fine soil, spray the seeds with a spray can and try not to water them to prevent strawberry seeds from being washed away.

Also do not put the seedlings in the strong sun environment, to avoid dying the seedlings.

2. When the transplanted seedlings have 3-5 leaves, they can be transplanted. The seedlings can be transplanted into flowerpots to make potted strawberries, or they can be transplanted to the ground for cultivation. When transplanting, you can transplant with root soil, which can increase the survival rate.

3. Fertilizing strawberries need not be fertilized before transplanting. After transplanting, you can't fertilize immediately until the strawberry seedlings adapt to the current environment before applying some light fertilizer. Generally speaking, the nutrition in the soil makes enough strawberries blossom and bear fruit, but it is necessary to apply some light fertilizer in order to blossom and bear more fruit.

4. Light the growth and development of most plants are inseparable from light, especially those that can bear fruit. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that strawberries have enough light time every day, so that strawberries can bear fruit.

5. Management of flowering period artificial pollination can be carried out when strawberries bloom. The specific way is to touch the buds of female flowers. If there are a lot of flowers on a strawberry, you can properly pick off some of the more flowers, which can improve the fruit rate.

6. Fruit management when strawberries bear small fruit, it is necessary to take measures to protect the fruit. Fruit protection is mainly to find a way to prevent strawberries from falling directly on the soil, otherwise strawberries will be rotted by some microbes or small animals in the soil. When strawberries are fully ripe, pick them as soon as possible to prevent them from being eaten by some insects and birds.

2. Grey mold. Control measures: increase the application of organic fertilizer, apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium properly, control the application amount of nitrogen fertilizer to prevent overgrowth, do not plant too densely, control the density within 8000 plants / 667m2, facilitate ventilation and light, carry out plastic film mulching to prevent fruit from contact with soil, strengthen garden cleaning, timely remove old branches, leaves and fruits, susceptible inflorescences and diseased fruits, spray control, and pay attention to early prevention. From the beginning of budding, spray once every 7 mures every 10 days, three times in a row, and spray with 50% chlorpromazine 800 times or 65% Dyson zinc 500 times.

After the strawberry fruit is harvested, all the plants in the field are dug up, then the soil is ploughed and the beds or ridges are quickly formed. After the rainy season, in the hot and hot season, irrigate the border, then cover it with plastic sheeting for about a month.
