Strawberry
Strawberry crop guide – for better use of your strawberry fertilizer
Below is a sample of strawberry relatedc information in this guide:
-
Strawberries prefer slightly acidic soils with a pH of between 5.5 and 6.5.
-
Strawberry plants are extremely sensitive to salinity, especially at the transplant stage.
-
Since the strawberry plants are shallow rooted, permanent moisture is necessary to maximize production. .
-
As strawberries grow they will produce runners that will spread out and root to produce additional plants. Position the first runners with approximately 15 cm (6 inches) spacing between them.
-
Only allow a few runners per plant, then remove additional runners to promote crown growth.
-
Potassium is required by strawberry plants to help them acquire water through the roots and control water loss by transpiration.
-
Potassium may compete with magnesium for uptake by the roots and must, therefore, be maintained at an appropriate ratio (4:1, K:Mg) in the soil solution to prevent one of these nutrients from overriding the other, thereby creating a deficiency.
