What is the reason for strawberry hollowness?

Strawberry has a large planting area in China and is loved by many people, so its market demand is also very large. However, although many people grow strawberries, there are often a lot of problems when growing strawberries, and hollowness is one of them. If strawberries are hollow, the yield will be greatly affected. So what is the cause of strawberry hollowness? The following editor will give you a brief introduction, let's have a look!

1. Improper temperature

During the fruit setting period of strawberries, the temperature requirement is very high. If the temperature during the fruit setting period is too low, it will have a great impact on the growth of strawberries, resulting in a very slow growth rate. And if the temperature rises gradually in the later stage, it will lead to faster growth of strawberries. As a result, the front and back growth is unbalanced, and the phenomenon of cracking and cavity appears. But the temperature should not be too high, especially in the flowering period, if the temperature exceeds 35 degrees and lasts for a long time, it is very disadvantageous to the flowering of strawberries, affecting the pollination and fertilization of flowers and hindering the growth and development of fruits.

2. The reason of illumination

Light is also very important for the growth of strawberry fruit. During the flowering and fruiting period of strawberries, a strong light environment is needed. If the light is not enough, it is very disadvantageous to the development of the fruit. Especially in the seasons of lack of natural light, such as autumn, winter and early spring, the photosynthetic capacity of strawberries decreased, resulting in the lack of photosynthates. Thus reduce the nutrition accumulation of strawberries, resulting in insufficient nutrition supply, resulting in hollow strawberries and other adverse phenomena. Therefore, we must pay attention to control the light, when the natural light is insufficient, we must do a good job of artificial light supplement.

3. Boron deficiency

Boron is an indispensable nutrient element in the growth of strawberry. Boron plays a key role in the nutrient transport of strawberries. if there is a lack of boron, strawberry fruit will form hollow fruit due to lack of nutrition. In many cases, strawberry plants are too weak or harvested too late. Then strawberries will continue to grow, resulting in aging and loss of water, consuming too much nutrients. Therefore, we should timely spray foliar fertilizer to supplement boron during the flowering and fruit stage, which can also improve the absorption efficiency of calcium fertilizer, which is very beneficial to the growth of strawberries.

4. Lack of fertilizer and water

In the strawberry fruit-setting period, the consumption of nutrition and water is relatively large, so the requirements for fertilizer and water will be relatively high. If the supply of fertilizer and water is insufficient in the fruit setting period, it can not meet the nutrient and water requirements of strawberry fruit setting, and it is easy to lead to the hollow phenomenon of strawberry. So when we plant strawberries, we should water them once a week or so to keep the soil moist. During the fruit expansion period, appropriate amount of boron fertilizer, calcium fertilizer and potassium fertilizer should be supplemented to improve the photosynthetic capacity and nutrient accumulation of strawberry. Meet the nutritional needs of strawberry fruit setting, reduce hollow and other adverse phenomena.

The above is a brief introduction to the reason why strawberries are hollow. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
