The latest strawberry breeding methods

Strawberry is a kind of fruit that we all like to eat, and it has a wide planting area in our country. However, strawberry planting is not so easy, in addition to careful management after planting, but also to do a good job of strawberry reproduction. Many friends fail to reproduce, resulting in a serious shortage of production, or even lose all their money. So how do strawberries propagate? The following editor brings you the breeding method of strawberries, let's have a look!

1. Seed propagation

After the strawberry fruit matured around the middle of May, the strawberry fruit with uniform size, smooth and bright surface and free of diseases and insect pests was picked from the plant. Then cut off the peel of the fruit, squeeze out the juice, then dry it, and then take out the seeds. Then soak the seeds for germination and disinfection. After soaking the seeds for about 10 hours, sprinkle them into the nutritious soil prepared according to the growth habits of strawberries. Covered with fine soil and covered with plastic film, the seedlings can sprout in about 8-11 days under normal management. Seed propagation is the most traditional propagation method of strawberry hair, but it is seldom used because it is troublesome and takes a long time.

2. Stolon propagation

The method of stolon reproduction mainly uses the stolon that strawberry grows every year as the mother of reproduction. These stolons have strong growth ability and can grow into individual plants with a little management. Observe the growth of the mother plant, when the growth of about 3 stolons, timely pinching, to avoid consuming too much nutrition and promote the growth of new stems. Then repeated operation, under normal circumstances, 1-2 years can grow new seedlings. And the growth rate of new seedlings is so fast that they can blossom and bear fruit in the same year. The reproduction speed of this method is faster, and the planting cost can be reduced as much as possible.

3. Rhizome propagation

Rhizome propagation is based on the new stem of the mother plant. When the fruit is harvested every year, do a good job in water and fertilizer management and strengthen ploughing and weeding. Promote the growth of the mother plant, improve the growth rate of the new stem, when it is found that there are new buds and new roots, dig out the old roots of the mother plant in time, and cut off the weak growth, diseases and insect pests and ineffective roots. Then about 6-7 good leaves were divided on the plant, and the new seedlings on the left and right of the new stem were planted directly. Rhizome propagation is relatively simple, and the operation is not so troublesome, and the survival rate is also high, so it is a commonly used method of strawberry propagation.

4. In vitro propagation

Because strawberry plants are easy to produce adventitious roots, we can cut off the tip of the stem in a sterile environment and then put it into the medium for cultivation. Promote the growth of young buds, and improve the propagation speed through the reproduction of axillary buds, seedling management can be timely transplanted after seedling refining. In vitro propagation can effectively control diseases and insect pests, enhance the growth of strawberries, ensure the growth of leaves and improve the vitality of strawberries. And less land resources, not affected by the external environment, is a better method of reproduction. But its technology is not very mature, so it is not recommended.

The above is a brief introduction of strawberry breeding methods, there are many kinds of strawberry reproduction methods, we need to have a certain understanding. According to their own breeding technology and planting direction and other rational use of breeding methods to ensure their own planting economic benefits.
