It is cultivated as a fruit worldwide and belongs to the Fragaria (English: Fragaria) plant family. The manufacture of fruit juice, jam, ice cream, milkshakes, and many other meals uses this fruit, which is appealing in scent, colour, and flavour. In the industrial food preparation process, strawberry scent is used. In the latter half of the 18th century, strawberries were first grown in the French area of Brittany.
Currently, Bari Strawberry-1, a high-yielding strawberry type, is grown in Bangladesh's regions with lengthy, cold winters. Strawberries are a vivid red colour when they are ripe. This fruit can also be grown in tubs, on top of houses, and on balconies without needing land. A commercial strawberry farming and marketing operation currently operates in Chapainawabganj, Rajshahi, Jessore, Srimangal, Mymensingh, Sirajganj, and other locations. Growing strawberries on one's property or rented land can be a way for an unemployed person to start a business and support themselves.
Three fundamental modes—short-day, long-day, and day-neutral—are used by strawberries to produce flowers, according to research from 2001. These show how sensitive the plant is to day length and the kind of photoperiod that encourages flowering. Regardless of the photoperiod, day-neutral plants blossom.
Although this is primarily a hobby and not a process frequently used in the strawberry industry, strawberries can also be grown from seed. Research is being done on commercially producing some of the cultivars that are made from sources and have been created for domestic usage. Achenes (seeds)) It can be obtained from fruit by picking and preserving them or from commercial seed suppliers.
Also possible indoors is strawberry cultivation in containers. While it's possible that plants don't naturally grow indoors in the winter, they can nevertheless be cultivated there when given the proper blue and red LED lighting. In addition, agricultural production starts in mid-November in other regions, such as Florida, where winter is the natural growing season.
The characteristics of strawberry cultivars, including size, colour, flavour, shape, fertility, ripening period, diseases, and production techniques, are very diverse. Approximately 200 seeds make up the outer layer of a strawberry on average.
In contemporary commercial production, the majority of plastic culture techniques are utilised. Every year, raised beds are constructed this way, smoked, and covered with plastic to stop weed growth and erosion. Typically, northern nurseries provide the plants Through holes drilled into this cover. They are planted, and irrigation is supplied by irrigation tubing that is run downward. The plant's whole energy is directed into the development of the fruit. Thus, the saplings are cut off as soon as they grow. The plastic cover is removed after the cropping season, and the plants are grown in soil. Since strawberry plants start to lose productivity and fruit quality after a year or two, replacing the plants every year encourages better yields and denser planting. However, this is only sometimes feasible in all regions because this plant needs a lengthy growth season to produce each year and costs more money to make mounds and buy trees yearly. Cold-temperature areas frequently use this technique. This strategy also lowers maintenance requirements, which demands less expenditure. However, it often produces a lower yield than plasticulture.
Compost socks are an additional technique. Plants planted in compost socks have been found to produce considerably more flavonoids, anthocyanins, fructose, glucose, sucrose, malic acid, and citric acid than plants grown in matted row systems or black plastic cover. USDA Similar findings regarding the effect that compost plays in the bioactive characteristics of two strawberry cultivars were supported by a prior study.
