Garden strawberry is one of the most sought-after berry crops, requiring high technological discipline during cultivation. Stable harvest yields, both in open soil and in greenhouses, are impossible without a deep understanding of plant biology, its nutritional requirements, and the system of protection against harmful factors. A professional approach to agrotechnics allows for minimizing the risks of quality loss and significantly increasing the profitability of the berry patch throughout the growing season.
This selection of materials covers key aspects of working with this crop: from controlling vascular pathogens and nematodes to modern schemes for fungicide application and the specifics of greenhouse cultivation. You will find scientific data on the species composition of weeds, methods of protection against viral infections, and detailed recommendations for calculating mineral fertilizer application rates. The presented articles will help agronomists and specialists build a systematic approach to crop protection, disease diagnostics, and the optimization of cultivation conditions for strawberries to achieve maximum productivity.
