Management techniques of Strawberry Seedling

Strawberry is a kind of high-end fruit in China, its market price is relatively high, and it has been planted in many provinces of our country. However, although the price is high, the market demand is still increasing, and now some old growers are constantly expanding their acreage. If you want to expand the planting area, you need to do a good job in seedling management. So the editor brings you the seedling management technology of strawberries today, let's have a look!

1. Temperature control

Strawberries are not resistant to high temperature or cold, so it is very important to regulate the temperature when raising seedlings. Especially in summer and winter, because the temperature is extreme, it is easy to exceed the bearing range of strawberries. The optimum temperature for strawberry growth is about 16-21 degrees. If it is more than 30 degrees or less than 12 degrees, the growth rate of strawberry seedlings is very slow or even stops growing. Therefore, when raising seedlings, we must regulate the temperature, and when the temperature changes greatly, we must do a good job of cold prevention and heat preservation and summer cooling to ensure the growth of strawberry seedlings.

2. Water management

Strawberries like water but are not resistant to waterlogging. if there is a lack of water when raising seedlings, the root growth will be blocked, and the lack of nutrition will lead to the aging and even death of the seedlings. And when there is a lack of water, the soil salinity will rise in a straight line, and the seedlings are prone to poisoning. Therefore, when we raise seedlings, we should ensure that the soil is moist and control the soil water content at about 70%. Watering should be based on the principle of watering more than a small amount, not flooding, not overwatering, otherwise strawberries are easy to rot, causing a variety of diseases and insect pests. After watering, loosen the soil properly to improve the water retention capacity of the soil.

3. Improve soil permeability.

Strawberries are suitable for growing in soft sandy soil, but after the rainy season, many of the soil will harden because of Rain Water's scour. Soil consolidation will reduce soil permeability and affect root respiration and microbial activity. And will increase the soil temperature, is not conducive to soil heat dissipation, is not conducive to plant growth. And sometimes after fertilization, a layer of material will be left on the surface of the soil, which will also reduce the soil permeability and inhibit the growth of plants. Therefore, we should properly plough and weed, improve the soil permeability and avoid the hindrance of plant growth.

4. reasonable selection of rooting agents.

Many seedlings will be sprayed with rooting agents to promote the growth of seedling roots, but we should choose rooting agents reasonably. Because strawberries transfer the photosynthetic substances produced by photosynthesis to all parts of the seedlings when raising seedlings. If the hormone rooting agent is selected, it will cause the root to seize nutrients and affect the growth of the aboveground parts. Therefore, we should try to choose amino acids, chitin and other rooting agents, this rooting agent can not only improve the soil and enhance the growth ability of strawberry seedlings, but also promote the root growth and development of strawberries and ensure the uniform growth of plants.

The above is a brief introduction of strawberry seedling management technology, strawberry seedling management is very important. Because it is directly related to the growth of strawberry in the middle and later stage, improper seedling management will seriously affect the growth of strawberry, resulting in weaker growth, lower flowering and fruiting rate, and various diseases and insect pests. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
