How to raise strawberries?
1. Creeping propagation The creeping propagation method mainly uses the stolons that strawberry grows every year as the breeding mother. These stolons have strong growth ability and can grow into individual plants with a little management. Observe the growth of the mother plant. When it grows to about 3 stolons, pinch the tip in time to avoid consuming too much nutrition and promote the growth of new stems. Then repeat the operation. Under normal circumstances, new seedlings can grow in 1-2 years. Moreover, the new seedlings grow very fast, and basically they can blossom and bear fruit that year. This method can breed faster and reduce the planting cost as much as possible. Four common seedling raising methods of strawberry. Seed propagation In mid-May, when strawberry fruits are ripe, strawberry fruits with uniform specifications, smooth surface and no pests and diseases are picked from the plants. Then peel the fruit, squeeze out the juice, dry it, and then take out the seeds. Then soak the seeds, accelerate germination and disinfect. After soaking for about 10 hour, sprinkle it into the nutrient soil prepared according to the growth habit of strawberries. Covered with fine soil and plastic film, it germinates and emerges about 8- 1 1 day under normal management. Seed propagation is the most traditional propagation method of strawberry hair quality, but it is used less because it is more troublesome and takes a long time. Three common seedling raising methods of strawberry. Rhizome propagation Rhizome propagation is propagation with the new stem of the mother plant. After the fruit is harvested every year, do a good job in water and fertilizer management and strengthen intertillage weeding. Promote the growth of mother plants, increase the growth speed of new stems, dig out the old roots of mother plants in time when new buds and roots are found, and cut off weak, pests and diseases and invalid roots. Then 6-7 good leaves are separated from the plant, and new seedlings are directly planted around the new stem. Rootstock propagation is relatively simple, easy to operate and has a high survival rate. It is a common breeding method for strawberry breeding at present. Fourth, in vitro propagation Because strawberry plants are easy to produce adventitious roots, we can cut off the top of the stem in a sterile environment and then put it in a culture medium for culture. Through axillary bud propagation, the growth of buds is promoted and the propagation speed is improved. Seedlings can be transplanted in time after hardening. In vitro propagation can effectively control pests and diseases, enhance the growth of strawberries, ensure the growth of leaves and improve vitality. Moreover, it is a good breeding method with little land resources and is not affected by the external environment. But its technology is not very mature, so it is not recommended to everyone.
