Strawberry Cultivation Made Easy with Pelemix Grow Bags

Cultivating Strawberries on Coco Coir

Strawberries need a stable and balanced environment to thrive. Here are the key factors:

Temperature Sensitivity: Strawberries are sensitive to day/night temperature differences exceeding 10-12°C. They become inactive below 8°C.
Salinity Sensitivity: The recommended EC in dripper water should be 0.7 DS/M

Plants

The number of plants per hectare depends on variety, planting season, and support system. Most varieties yield fruits within 8–10 weeks, depending on daylight and temperature

Irrigation

Drippers: Use 4-5 arrow drippers per 1-meter bag or space drippers 20 cm apart with an integral pipe dripper.
Water Coverage:Ensure adequate water, especially during fruiting, to prevent deformation.
Drip Capacity:Recommended 1 L/H.

Seedlings

Planting:Use seedlings with 3-4 fully developed leaves and a root neck thickness of 8-10 mm.
Uniformity: Plant seedlings of similar sizes together for consistent treatment.

What is the best strawberry-growing method?

Growing strawberries in growbags is an ideal solution for promoting healthy strawberry growth. Pelemix offers a wide variety of sizes and coir mixes for growing strawberries in growbags, allowing growers to choose the best option for their specific needs and growing conditions.

How does coco coir compare to traditional soil in strawberry farming?

Pelemix coco coir substrates offer several advantages over traditional soil for strawberry cultivation:
– Superior Drainage: Coco coir provides excellent drainage, preventing waterlogging and promoting healthy root development.

– Growbags for strawberry allow the option of growing on elevated gutters, easing the operational aspects when growing strawberries, especially the harvest operation. On the same time, growing on elevated gutters also offers improved growing conditions.

– Customization Options: Pelemix offers a variety of coir mixes to meet specific needs and growing conditions.

– Expert Agronomic Support: Pelemix provides expert guidance and support to help growers maximize their strawberry yields.

How can high salinity levels in the growing medium affect strawberry plants, and how can it be managed?

High salinity levels can negatively impact strawberry growth by inhibiting water and nutrient uptake. To manage salinity, it’s crucial to monitor EC levels in the irrigation water and growing medium. Using a well-balanced fertilizer and leaching the growing medium periodically can help prevent salt buildup or directly purchasing Pelemix Low EC growbags.

What are the important environmental factors for growing strawberries?

In addition to proper irrigation and fertilization, strawberries require specific environmental conditions for optimal growth:

– Temperature: Strawberries are sensitive to significant temperature fluctuations between day and night, with differences exceeding 10-12°C potentially affecting growth. They become inactive below 8°C.

– Ventilation: Adequate ventilation is crucial to prevent diseases and maintain a healthy growing environment.

– Light: Sufficient light is essential for photosynthesis and overall plant health.
