How to Plant Strawberries in Nuwara Eliya

When it comes to the strawberry plantation, the main planting season begins in September, but the nursery preparation process begins much earlier with the planting of mother stock. These mother plants, which are carefully tended, begin shooting runners a few weeks after planting, which are then cut and potted in preparation for bed planting. Greenhouse construction includes the meticulous laying of gradients for proper drainage, mulch for proper weed/pest cover, and dripper systems for fertigation, to name a few of the numerous aspects covered in this phase. Land and bed preparation, or the preparation of the lay of the soil and land, is a time-consuming and precise task.

Land and bed preparation

Planting begins in earnest once the beds and irrigation systems are completed. Each potted plant is carefully removed and placed in neatly aligned beds that are angled just right to absorb as many nutrients as possible for the months of work ahead. From this point forward, care is a combination of diligent plant care, weeding, and providing the best possible support in the form of bees for pollination, plant analyses to ensure the maximum amount of nutrients are absorbed, and pest control.

Harvesting of Strawberries

Harvesting of strawberries starts two months after planting when the fruit is at its biggest, tastiest and juiciest. The first fruit from each plant is always the biggest and often the most off-shape, although extremely tasty! From this point on, harvesting takes place daily, although quantities and size vary based on the plant life-cycle and the stage of planting in the staggered planting system. As soon as the strawberries come off the plant, it is a rush to get the fruit sorted, packed to specification, labelled and into the chillers for removal of field heat. It is this process that chills the fruit down to the required temperature of 2 degrees for an optimum shelf-life of up to 2 weeks.
