Strawberry greenhouse

Strawberry crops support temperatures from -18ºC to 50ºC (depending on the concerned variety).

Traditionally, they are usually grown under mulch, although nowadays they are increasingly grown in multitunnel type greenhouses with special cultivation systems.

What climate conditions are optimal for strawberry crops?

  • Optimum temperature for fruiting > around 15-20ºC

  • Vegetative minimal temperature > is 2 ºC and maximal is 40 ºC.

  • Optimal fertilisation temperature > is between 12 ºC and 25 ºC. Values above these will render it defective or invalid.

  • Relative humidity > around 60-80%.

In critical moments during the vegetative period, the relationship between daytime, night temperature and luminosity is crucial.

Main problems due to climate

  • High relative humidity: It favors aerial diseases development and rot in the fruits.

  • Low light level: Contributes to fungi development.

  • High temperatures: It tends to be resistant to high temperatures (55 °C). But above 30 °C affect fruition.

  • Low temperatures: Temperatures below 12 °C during the setting result in fruits deformed by cold. Floral organs are destroyed if temperatures drop below 0 °C.

What greenhouses are used for strawberry crops?

The use of multi-span gothic or asymmetrical type Greenhouses is becoming more and more frequent. These come with a grilling system capable of carrying the systems used in strawberry production.

Strawberry cultivation modes

Since strawberry harvesting is manual, there are 3 crop types produced in height (1.2-1.6 m) that ease harvesting.

  • Crop by substrate on suspended support. On substrate bags (rock wool, coconut fibre or perlite).

  • Pyramid crop.

  • Crops in different types of support without soil, hanging from greenhouse grating.

Recommended technology

Production system

It is planted on substrates (rock wool, perlite, or coconut fiber) or by soil-free crops systems such as NFT, NGS, etc.

Cooling systems

Thermal and shading screens, forced ventilation, cooling systems or fog system are used.

Heating systems

Closed piping systems with hot water or hot air systems. Although they are not usually used in this crop type (in Mediterranean climate) since strawberry production withstands low temperatures. However, they can be installed to advance harvests.

Irrigation system

Irrigation systems located in production systems with substrates. Usually, automated irrigation equipment (hydroponics systems).

Carbonic fertilisation systems

They are common in northern European countries and require watertight greenhouses such as multi-span greenhouses.
