Three times the yield of the new French strawberry
With the new method of planting strawberries, the yield is at least three times higher than traditional techniques. This innovative approach not only boosts productivity but also enhances efficiency in farming.
The system involves suspending plastic bags filled with straw ash inside a greenhouse, with strawberry seedlings planted around each bag. Each bag measures up to 2 meters in length and 20 centimeters in diameter, allowing for the planting of 28 strawberry plants per bag. A thin irrigation tube is attached to the bag, delivering water twice daily at a volume of 3 liters each time. Nutrient solutions are also injected directly into the bags to ensure optimal plant growth. Additionally, the materials inside the bags can be replaced with organic minerals or coconut fibers, offering more sustainable alternatives.
One of the key benefits of this method is its ability to maximize space usage, making it easier to manage planting, harvesting, and maintenance. Compared to traditional methods, this system reduces fertilizer use by 60% and pesticide application by 80%. Each plant produces an additional 0.7 kg of strawberries, significantly increasing overall output. This technique not only improves yield but also promotes eco-friendly and cost-effective farming practices.
