The study offers the psychological properties and aspects of a strawberry. It says in the
article the materials used and the methodology how the experiment performed. In
provision of the materials the researchers classify the soil, the composition of manure, and
the amount of water needed in time frame. On addition, the agents used for spraying
treatments in the specimen is also estimated within the time limit. After the collection of
materials and list of methods, the researcher also collected some data which is measured
after the experiment, plus, the quality of the specimens fruit. It also shown on the article
the successful strawberry farming within two seasons. It is performed in a Private Sedar
Farm at El- Dair Village Qulabia Governarate, Egypt. In addition the result of post
harvest treatments on quality attributed of strawberry fruits during cold storage are also
presented.

The attractions of strawberries are many; the cost of planting stock is small, and they
produce fruit even when given the minimum attention and expenses, though under these
conditions the crop may vary in size from year to year. Strawberry will grow on all kinds
of soils, ranging from light soils and gravels to clay. On chalky soils, strawberries may
suffer from deficiencies of iron and manganese. Strawberries grow best on a site sheltered
from the prevailing wind; they should not be planted in the shade of trees, nor on the north
side of a wall or house. With rotations, the most important rule is to allow the longest
period of year possible to pass before replanting strawberries in ground where they had
grow where they had grown previously. The strawberry plot should be carefully prepared
to enable the plants to crop satisfactorily for three to four years. The soil should be dug
with a spade or fork to a depth of 25cm (10 in. ) and the bottom of the trench forked over
in the order to break up any hard layers of soil and improve drainage. Best of all, an
application of organic matter at the rate of a borrow load to 5m (6yd0 in the form of
well-rotted farmyard manure or spent mushroom or garden compost should be spread on
the soil after digging and forked into a depth of 15cm(6 in). Strawberries grow best on soil
that is very slightly acid (plt 6.5) for at this level all the plant nutrients will be available to
the roots. Strawberries can be cultivated on raised beds which have the following
advantages over conventional growing are they reduce the risk of water logging and soil-
 borne diseases. They increase the available rooting depth on shallow soils. They warm up
quickly and so produce early crops.

Tropical Climate. Retrieved from

The online journal explains how the six strawberry cultivars in tropical climate. In its
introduction, it introduces the primary background of the strawberry like its genus name
fragaria x ananassa, its environment and its target study together with its cultivar. As
mentioned, cultivar is the target of the study. After the introduction, the materials and
methods. The researcher used six cultivar of strawberry as the materials for the study. A
cultivar is a plant/ group of plants selected for desirable characteristic that can be
maintained by propagation. The choosen strawberry cultivars are Kordestan, Parose,
Queen, Selva and Camarosa, which is used in experiment in Regional Agricultura
Research Station, east of Gachsaran District. The cultivars are mentioned to have distinct
seasons where it will grow. After the classification, every cultivars entered each test for the
experiments. These tests include: fruit firmness analysis, determination of biochemical,
quality attributes, and statistical analysis. Followed by the results, which the research
expose the effects of night/day high temperature on morphological and physical chemical
characteristic of six cultivars. Later on with the discussion, it discussed the cultivation
possibility of each cultivars and finally concluded the results.

According to the study, it is possible to plant strawberry in tropical climate. Strawberry

growing in hot weather, where the daytime temperature are more often than not over 85 F
(29C) is possible with a bit of preparation and planting at the correct time of year. The
author reveals that the trick to growing strawberries in hot climate is to have the berries
ready for picking in mid-winter, not late spring or early summer as is common in
temperate zones. The study discuss that strawberries take four to five months of growth
before they are ripe for harvest. In planting, the study set the new plants late in the
summer to allow time to establish during the cooler months so that berries are ripe in
midwinter. The observations come up with different methods: composting, soil draining,
and setting up the temperature. In addition, setting the strawberry plants 12 inches apart is
 the right spacing. Finally, the study ends with another type of planting strawberry in a
tropical climate which is to plant strawberry in a container. The container allows to control
the sun exposure and temperature and by means of it the farmer are able to move the plant
freely.

This study was carried out in commercial strawberry fruit production fields around the
village of Moguer on the Southwestern coast of Spain, during the 2003-04, 2004-05,
2005-06 season. The site is the major strawberry high tunnel production in Spain. It uses a
loamy sand soil with organic fertilizer. It also uses a fumigants which was applied on three
years distinct season on each year. The researcher also take a study in Bare-root
Camarosa strawberry plants from commercial nurseries in Valladolid (Spain) were
transplanted on 23, October 2003, 11 October 2002, 17 October 2005. The study also uses
the conventional crop management techniques. The study was repeated three times from
2003 to 2006. As the result, temperatures were significantly differently in three crop
cycles measured the temperature in May was important because it comes at the end of
each crop cycle. It is also show in the result that the values of maximum air temperatures
and radiation of three increased in April and May. Maximum yield was obtained in the
final week of March.
