When will strawberries be planted?

Strawberries are cultivated all over China. Strawberries are generally grown in areas with warm weather and are not resistant to cold. Strawberries are planted in Hebei, Shandong and many southern provinces and cities. Strawberries cover an area of more than 1.5 million mu all over the country. Strawberries are mainly distributed in Sichuan, Hebei, Anhui, Liaoning, Shandong and other places. Let's take a look at when strawberries will be planted.

When will strawberries be planted?

Strawberry, native to South America, is a perennial herb of Rosaceae. Seeds can germinate without obvious dormancy period or sowing at regular intervals. Generally, strawberries are planted in spring or autumn, but strawberries can be planted in all seasons.

When will the strawberries ripen?

Strawberries are widely cultivated all over the world, with more than 2000 varieties. Love light, like moisture, afraid of water stains, not resistant to drought, like fertile and breathable sandy loam. When the temperature rises above 5 degrees in spring, the plants begin to germinate, and the optimum growth temperature is 20-26 degrees. Jiangsu germinates in late February, blossoms in the first and middle of April, and the fruit ripens in the middle and late May. The flower buds differentiate under the condition of temperature below 17 degrees and short daylight of 10 to 12 hours, and there is short dormancy in winter. But strawberries are usually on the market from February to March. In fact, it is the peak season for picking strawberries from December to January every year, but some people say that strawberries are basically ripening during this period, so strawberries really ripen from April to May.

What are the conditions for growing strawberries?

1. Temperature: strawberry likes warm and cool climate, root growth temperature is 5: 30 ℃, optimum temperature is 15: 22 ℃, suitable temperature for stem and leaf growth is 20: 30 ℃, freezing injury occurs in bud at-15 ℃, temperature should be maintained at 5: 15 ℃ during flower bud differentiation and 4: 40 ℃ at flowering and fruiting stage. Shading measures should be taken when the temperature is higher than 30 ℃ and the sunshine is strong.

2. Light: strawberry is a light-loving plant, but it has strong shade tolerance. When the light intensity is strong, the plant is short and strong, the fruit is small, the color is dark and the quality is good. Medium light, large fruit, light color, low sugar content, long harvest time, weak light is disadvantageous to strawberry growth.

3. Moisture: strawberry has shallow root distribution, large transpiration and strict requirements for water, but the requirements for water are slightly different in different growth periods. The moisture required in early spring and flowering is less than 70% of the maximum soil water holding capacity, and the demand for fruit growth and ripening is more than 80%. After harvest, the soil water content for stolon extraction and adventitious root formation is not less than 70%. Autumn is the period of plant nutrition accumulation and flower bud formation, and the soil moisture should not be less than 60%. Strawberries are not resistant to waterlogging, which requires good soil permeability and pay attention to field drainage in rainy season.

4. Soil: strawberries should grow in fertile, loose neutral or slightly acidic loam, too clayey soil is not suitable for cultivation, sandy soil more stable fertilizer, frequent irrigation, can also grow strawberries.
