How are white strawberries grown?

White strawberry, also called small white strawberry, is a new strawberry variety bred by farmer Li Jian of Miyun County, Beijing through tissue culture seedling mutant strains. It was identified by the Beijing Seed Management Station in August 2014. It is the first white strawberry variety independently cultivated by Chinese people and has now applied for a patent from the Ministry of Agriculture. The fruit is white or light pink in the early stage from December to March. After April, as the temperature rises and the light becomes stronger, it will turn pink, and the pulp will be pure white or light yellow. It tastes sweet and melts in the mouth. The peel is thin and the flesh is light yellow when fully mature. It tastes like yellow peach. The soluble solids (sugar content) is more than 14%. This variety shows strong growth, large fruit, high quality and good yield. , has strong resistance to powdery mildew and is an ideal fresh-eating variety. Transplant at the right time. White strawberries have weak resistance to high temperature and humidity, making it difficult to raise seedlings. After planting, the number of flower stems and flowers are small, so the requirements for seedling raising technology are high. It is best to use sunshade, rain and cooling protection measures to raise seedlings. After the seedlings are grown, Plant appropriately early under the conditions to promote early emergence, set up a high-yield seedling frame, and prevent self-capping in the middle and later stages. Depending on the climatic conditions of the region, seedlings are usually raised in mid-to-late February.

The width of the seedling field is 150 cm to 200 cm, the width of the ditch is 35 cm, and the depth of the ditch is 25 cm. One row is planted in the middle of each border, or two rows can be planted. The spacing between plants is 80 cm to 100 cm. Planting per acre There are 350 to 450 mother plants. They must be planted shallowly and watered with rooting water. After survival, fertilization, irrigation and drought resistance, drainage and soil cultivation, weeding and pest control should be carried out in a timely manner. Especially in the case of continuous high temperature and drought weather, watering should be combined and the sunshade net should be covered day and night to lower the temperature. In early and mid-August, pull out weak seedlings and aging seedlings close to the mother plant, and dig out the mother plant seedlings (or remove the leaves of the mother plant seedlings). Stop fertilizing after mid-August to control moisture and promote flower bud differentiation. For vigorously growing seedlings, root cutting can be carried out.
