Hi, everyone, now I want to introduce a fruit called strawberry. Its skin is red, with little white dots on the skin, and it wears a small green hat on its head. Compared with those apples and pomegranates, strawberries are small. Generally, the length of strawberries is about 4 cm. When you open a strawberry, you will see a light red, milky white flesh. One bite and you'll taste the softness and sweet-sour flavor.
At present, strawberry is cultivated in most countries in the world. The strawberry cultivation area in the United States is 23,000 hectares, with an output of 567,000 tons, accounting for approximately 28% of the worlds total output, with an average output of 24.6 tons/hectare. Japan has a cultivation area of ??11,000 hm2 and a yield of 218,000 tons, accounting for 11% of the worlds total output. The average yield is 19.3 tons/hectare. Europe is the main strawberry producing area, accounting for about 50% of the worlds production. Poland, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Russia, Romania and the United Kingdom have large cultivation areas, and the yield is generally 9.5-18.3 tons/hectare.
Our country is the country with the richest wild strawberry resources in the world. It began to utilize wild strawberries very early and continues to this day. The cultivation of large-fruited strawberries in my country began in 1915, but it was not taken seriously in the past and developed slowly. Strawberry production has developed rapidly since the 1980s. Chinas current strawberry production area is about 70,000 hectares, ranking first in the world. The main production areas are located in Liaoning, Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang and other eastern coastal areas. In recent years, Sichuan, Anhui, Xinjiang, Beijing and other regions Development is also very fast. Key strawberry production areas include Dandong in Liaoning, Baoding in Hebei, Yantai in Shandong, suburban Shanghai, Shuangliu in Sichuan, and Lianyungang in Jiangsu. Strawberries are suitable for planting in soil with sufficient sunshine and good hydrophobicity. Soil depth is approximately 8-10 inches.
For large strawberries, the row spacing should be 12 inches, and the plant spacing should be about 18 inches. The vines of the plants should be removed in time to facilitate the fruiting of strawberries. Strawberry production is cyclical, so it is best to establish some new plants during the first few years of planting.
If you don’t like managing strawberries, you can plant strawberries every 18-24 inches so that they can spread everywhere. Of course it will look a bit messy and the strawberries are not big. If you want to avoid this, you can remove some vines appropriately.
In autumn, a layer of soil should be spread on the plants to prevent frost. After the soil has frozen, you can spread 3-4 inches of hay over the plants. In the spring of the second year, when new leaves have grown, remove the hay. After the weather gets warmer and stabilizes, remove the covering soil from the surface of the plants. But leave some between the linesHay to prevent weed growth and retain moisture in the soil.
