Strawberry fertigation refers to the practice of applying fertilizers to the soil through an irrigation system during the strawberry growth period. This method effectively provides essential nutrients for strawberry development, promoting plant growth and fruit formation. rainfall can significantly impact the efficacy of strawberry fertigation.

First, it is crucial to understand the composition of strawberry fertigation fertilizers. Typically, these fertilizers consist of primary nutrients such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), which are vital for strawberry growth. Rainwater can dissolve portions of these nutrients, reducing the amount available for strawberry absorption. Consequently, prolonged rainy weather after fertilization may hinder strawberry growth.

Second, strawberry growth habits must be considered. As a light-loving plant, strawberries require ample sunlight for healthy development. Fertigation during rainy conditions risks washing away nutrients, leaving strawberries deprived of essential elements. Additionally, while strawberries thrive in moist environments, excessive water can lead to root hypoxia, further disrupting normal growth.

To ensure the effectiveness of strawberry fertigation, the following measures are recommended:

1. Timing of Application: Apply fertilizers on sunny days to avoid rain. Rainfall reduces nutrient availability and absorption efficiency, diminishing fertilizer impact.

2. Control Fertilization Rates: Adjust fertilizer amounts based on strawberry growth stages and soil fertility. A typical recommendation is 5-10 kg/mu of urea, 5-10 kg/mu of diammonium phosphate, and 5-10 kg/mu of potassium sulfate. For nutrient-poor soils, slightly increase dosages.

3. Balance Organic and Inorganic Fertilizers: Combining organic matter (e.g., compost) with chemical fertilizers improves nutrient utilization and provides comprehensive nutrition.

4. Ensure Proper Drainage: Before fertigation, verify that the field has adequate drainage to prevent nutrient runoff. After application, promptly remove excess water to avoid waterlogging.

5. Monitor Plant Health: Closely observe strawberry growth during fertigation. Adjust strategies immediately if abnormalities arise.

while rainfall may compromise strawberry fertigation, optimized practices can mitigate adverse effects. By tailoring fertilization schedules, rates, and methods to plant needs and soil conditions—while prioritizing drainage and ongoing observation—the goals of healthy growth and high yields can still be achieved.
