Is milk strawberry genetically modified? How to grow milk strawberry

Milk strawberry is a hot-selling variety in the fruit market and an important member of the strawberry family. However, many people dare not eat milk strawberry, thinking it is a genetically modified food. So is this statement reasonable? Is it a genetically modified fruit? Let me talk about this issue for you and also show you how to grow this kind of strawberry.

Milk strawberry is not a genetically modified fruit because it is a new variety of strawberry introduced from Japan. It is a variant of Tochiotome strawberry and has not undergone any genetically modified modification during its cultivation process, so it is not a genetically modified fruit.

How to grow milk strawberry

1. Site selection and land preparation

When planting milk strawberries, the first thing to do is to choose suitable land and prepare the land. It is best to choose fertile soil with high terrain, sufficient sunlight and flat terrain. After removing the weeds in the field, apply enough base fertilizer, and then deep plow and level the land.

2. Planting technology

If you want milk strawberries to be on the market around the Spring Festival, you need to plant them around September every year. When planting, plant two rows per bed, with a row spacing of 30 cm and a hole spacing of 20 cm. About 12,000 plants are planted per acre. When planting, the inflorescences of a row of plants should face the same direction. Water them in time after planting, and then bury the exposed roots with soil.

3. Daily management

Daily management is very important after planting milk strawberry. Intertillage should be carried out in time two or three months after planting to loosen the soil. Intertillage should be carried out once during its growing season. Fertilizer should be applied once after the milk strawberry enters the flowering and fruiting periods. Fertilizers can be urea, phosphate fertilizer or potassium chloride. You can also use triple-effect compound fertilizer.

4. Harvest in time

It takes about thirty days for milk strawberries to bloom, set fruit, and then color and soften. After the fruits are ripe, they should be put on the market in batches. The strawberries that turn red and soften naturally can be harvested in time to prevent them from rotting due to over-ripening. Under normal circumstances, the yield of milk strawberries per acre should be around 1,500 kilograms.
