Strawberry plants are typically first grown in a nursery and then transplanted into the fields. The plants continually produce new fruit throughout the growing season, so plantings are often staggered in different climate regions to ensure a steady stream of fruit. For example, in northern California, plants are replaced Greenhouse strawberry production requires a sophisticated conditioning of strawberry plants, has large up-front costs, and requires in depth knowledge on water, substrate and nutrient management of strawberries. Also tunnel systems have higher up-front costs, and some systems are very work intensive (e.g. low tunnels). plug plants of 'camarosa' and 'chandler' straw- berry were transplanted on 5 nov. into round, 7.6 l (two- gallon) pots (5 plants/pot) and square, 2.8 l (3-quart) ' 'verti-gro" pots (4 plants/pot), filled with a peat-based substrate (sunshine mix #4, sungro horticulture inc., bellevue, wa) and placed on benches at the density of 4.3 pots/m2 (3.6 … Excellent Hydroponic Strawberry Farming in Greenhouse and Satisfying Harvesting - Amazing Modern Agricultural Technology -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ The strawberry plants should be set in the soil with their roots going straight down. The soil around the plant should be firmly packed to exclude air. The growing point of the plant should be just above the soil surface. During planting, the plants should not be allowed to dry out and should be irrigated immediately after planting. Strawberries 101: a production guide. Cultivars have been primarily developed for field production but are starting to be perfected for controlled environments. producing strawberry plug plants is to produce the runner tips. Runners are produced from mother plants, which can be grown either in a greenhouse or field. Plants can be grown in the soil or in peat-filled grow bags placed on the soil or on benches. Runner production is favored by high temperatures and long Strawberries grown in greenhouses prefer day temperatures below 25ºC. The ideal temperature range for greenhouse Strawberries is 18ºC -24ºC. The temperature shouldn't go much above 25ºC because higher temperatures can negatively affect growth. Night temperature is much more important for Strawberries. In matted-row production, dormant crown strawberry plants are usually planted 18 to 24 inches apart in rows 36 to 48 inches apart. Spacing decisions depend on the size of your equipment. Growers should purchase cultivars resistant to red stele and verticillum wilt from a reputable nursery (table 1). Table 1. Production Guide for Commercial Strawberries Profitable strawberry production requires careful attention . to many cultural practices. Variety, selection, weed control, frost control, and winter protection are of particular importance. Renovation, fertility, and disease and insect control also are important if production is to be profitable. Strawberries require well-drained, sandy-loam to loamy soils with a pH level between 5,0 and 5,5. However, strawberries can be grown in more clayey soils if a sufficient quantity of compost is added to the soil during soil preparation. Saline and waterlogged soils should be avoided.
