Bed Preparation

A two-row method on a single raised bed is helpful for strawberry cultivation. Size of Bed: 60 cm, Route: 50 cm and Size: 45 cm.

FYM and Basal Dose

Mulching

The primary purpose of plastic mulching is to keep the soil temperature stable and protect the roots from cold damage.

Irrigation

Strawberry farming requires drip irrigation. The drip system has one to two lateral lines 16 mm wide, with drippers placed every 30 cm and discharging 2 to 4 litres per hour.

Harvesting
