Container-Grown Strawberries

Fragaria x ananassa Duchesne ex Rozier

A cultivation method for strawberries in limited substrate volumes, requiring intensive management of nutrition, irrigation regimes, and protection of the root system from extreme temperatures.

In the reference 60 varieties crop Garden strawberry, where this is mentioned in the description.

When growing strawberries in containers, a key factor is planting precision, ensuring the crown is positioned exactly at the substrate surface level. Deviation from this level leads to plant mortality due to rotting or root desiccation. The crop is highly sensitive to salinity and requires strict control of irrigation water mineralization, as well as regular removal of runners and excess flower clusters to maintain productivity.

Unlike open-field cultivation, container-grown strawberries require specific overwintering solutions, as the limited volume of substrate leaves the root system vulnerable to freezing. In the commercial sector, low-volume technologies and maturation systems are used to stabilize biometric parameters, with a preference for day-neutral remontant varieties to ensure an extended fruiting period.
