How to manage strawberries after planting

Strawberries are generally planted from August to September, but they can also be planted in spring if there are greenhouse facilities. Generally, during the spring strawberry planting period from March to April, strawberries after planting begin to enter the period of flower bud differentiation, and the quality of flower bud differentiation is related to yield and quality. Therefore, post-planting management is extremely important, so how to manage strawberries after planting? Let's get to know it with the editor.

1. Planting and watering

Strawberries should be watered in time on the same day after planting. The first watering is the key to seedling survival. Because strawberries have shallow roots and are not resistant to drought, watering must be early. Moreover, it is necessary to pour heavy water, water along the ditch and thoroughly water the loose soil to facilitate the growth of the root system. Watering should be carried out sooner or later, and the high temperature period at noon should be avoided as far as possible, so as not to affect the root growth. The phenomenon of floating seedlings should be righted in time after watering, and the soil should be kept moist before slowing down the seedlings, watering once every 1-2 days when necessary, and when it is about a week or so, it is indicated that the seedlings have been slowed down when the leaves begin to grow, then stop watering, do not water dry, and keep the soil dry and wet.

2. Loosen the soil and weed

After planting slow seedlings of strawberry, it is necessary to loosen the soil in time, which can improve the air permeability of the soil and promote the germination of new roots. because the roots are not firmly rooted after planting slow seedlings, the loosening soil should be shallow and the soil around the roots should not be loosened so as not to damage the roots and plants. In the future, when the soil seems to be dry and not dry after each watering, it is necessary to loosen the soil in time to prevent the rapid evaporation of water and cause hardening and impermeability, because the soil is moist and weeds grow faster, so weeds should be weeded in time when ploughing.

3. Fertilization

Fertilization can be carried out according to the situation of strawberry seedlings after slow seedling. For example, when strawberry seedlings are weak, urea and rooting powder should be applied in time to promote seedling rooting and growth. It is easy to apply 7kg urea plus rooting powder per mu, but if strawberry seedlings are growing well, there is no need to increase fertilization, because excess nutrition will delay flower bud differentiation.

4. Pick leaves and buds

With the continuous growth of the plant, strawberry will produce a large number of old leaves and withered leaves, and the increase of old leaves and withered leaves will affect the expansion of the stem and induce diseases at the same time, so the old leaves, withered leaves and newly grown stolons should be removed in time after the plant slows down. In the peak growth period, a large number of axillary buds and stolons will grow. In order to reduce the consumption of plant nutrients, the axillary buds and stolons should be removed as soon as possible. It should be noted that leaves should not be picked too much, and the scarcity of leaves will slow down flowering and fruit expansion and delay ripening.
