In the high temperature in summer, it is necessary to shade the heart of the seedlings to avoid strong light burns or loss of water, and measures should be taken to promote flower buds.

2. Colonization

One month before planting, it is necessary to turn the soil and dry the soil in the strawberry orchard, and appropriate pesticides can be added to eliminate underground pests. Cream strawberry planting is usually carried out in October, and cloudy or sunny afternoons should be chosen on the planting day. Try to avoid high temperatures. The nursery should be watered thoroughly before rising seedlings, and the seedlings should be planted with more soil and less roots, and the planting should be shallow and should not be buried. It is necessary to ensure that the heart leaves are still high above the surface after watering, and sunshade treatment should be carried out for a full year after planting.

When planting loose soil, we should pay attention to the application of sufficient base fertilizer, which is generally mixed with fully mature farm manure and compound fertilizer, with the amount of farm fertilizer about 4000 kg per mu and compound fertilizer about 50 kg per mu. Multiple fertilizers should be applied during the growing period to ensure the yield, and the fertilizers used in each growing period are different, so we should pay attention to them.
