Strawberry Seedlings Bare Rooted Planting Technique !
Strawberry Seedlings Can Be Planted Either With Soil Balls Or Bare-Rooted, Each With Its Own Advantages And Disadvantages.
For Planting With Soil Balls
1. Advantages
It can minimize damage to the root system of strawberry seedlings and improve the survival rate. The soil ball protects the root system, making it less vulnerable to external forces during transplantation. Moreover, the root system in the original soil ball can adapt to the new environment more quickly !
The seedling acclimation period is short. Strawberry seedlings with soil balls can resume growth and start absorbing water and nutrients more quickly !
2. Disadvantages
The operation is relatively more troublesome. Especially when planting on a large scale, care must be taken to handle the soil ball to avoid it falling apart !
For Bare-Rooted Planting
1. Advantages
The operation is relatively simple and the cost is lower. Especially for large-scale planting, there is no need to process the soil ball additionally, saving manpower and material resources !
2. Disadvantages
The damage to the root system is relatively greater, and the survival rate is relatively lower. During the transplantation of bare-root strawberry seedlings, the root system is easily damaged and it takes a longer time to recover and grow, resulting in a longer seedling acclimation period !
If conditions permit, planting strawberry seedlings with soil balls is usually a better choice, especially for novice growers or precious varieties of strawberry seedlings. However, if properly operated, bare-root planting can also achieve good results !
