GREENHOUSE STRAWBERRY CULTIVATION TECHNOLOGY
Keywords:
strawberry, greenhouse, hydroponics, mulching, IPM, substrate, pH control, vertical farming.Abstract
This article analyzes modern agrotechnologies for growing strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) in protected cultivation systems – greenhouses, plastic tunnels, and vertical systems. Hydroponic methods, substrate types (perlite, peat), mulching materials (black polyethylene), nutrient regimes (NO₃/NH₄ ratio, MasterBlend formula), temperature and light management, as well as integrated pest management (IPM) strategies are discussed in detail. Research indicates that the highest yield is achieved in vertical systems using a perlite‑peat mixture combined with black polyethylene mulch. Key challenges include pH stabilization in hydroponic solutions and the seasonal decline of biological control agents during cold periods.
