Strawberry fruit is extremely intolerant to storage, and can only be stored at room temperature 1-2 days after harvest. In order to reduce rot, it is best to rinse it under running water, then put it in a clean and sealed container and then put it in the refrigerator for refrigeration. The lower the temperature, the longer the storage time of strawberries.
It can be stored at 12℃ for 3 days, at 8℃ for 4 days and at 1 ~ 2℃ for 7 ~ 8 days. But the cold storage time should not be too long, otherwise its flavor quality will gradually deteriorate. At the same time, cold storage can delay the deterioration of fruits, but strawberries must be eaten immediately after they are taken out of the refrigerator, otherwise the fruits will rot faster than those without cold storage.
Growth habit of strawberry:
Strawberries like warm and cool climate. The growth temperature of strawberry root system is 5-30℃, the optimum temperature is 15-22℃, the optimum temperature of stem and leaf growth is 20-30℃, the freezing temperature of flower bud is-10℃, and the temperature of flower bud differentiation must be kept at 5-15. Strawberry in summer, when the temperature is higher than 30℃ and the sunshine is strong, shading measures should be taken.
Strawberry is a light-loving plant, but it has strong shade tolerance. Under the light intensity, the plant is short and strong, the fruit is small, the color is dark and the quality is good. Medium light, large fruit, light color, low sugar content and long harvest period; Weak light is bad for strawberry growth.
Strawberry has shallow root distribution, large transpiration and strict requirements for water, but its growth stages are different. Strawberries have slightly different water requirements. In early spring and flowering period, strawberry needs a lint percentage lower than 70% of the maximum soil water capacity.
The demand for fruit growth and ripening is the highest, reaching more than 80%. After harvesting, stolons and new adventitious roots should be removed, and the soil moisture content should not be lower than 70%. Autumn is the period when plants accumulate nutrients and form flower buds, and the soil water content should not be lower than 60%. Strawberries are not resistant to waterlogging, which requires good soil permeability, and pay attention to drainage in rainy season.
Strawberries should be planted in fertile, loose, neutral or slightly acidic loam. Too sticky soil is not suitable for cultivation. Strawberries can also be planted on sandy soil with more fertilizer and regular irrigation.
