Abstract:

In this study, the ‘Meiho’ was used as the experimental material to study the effects of different planting density on the yield and quality of strawberry. The results showed that the planting density was at 15 cm spacing in the rows, strawberry fruit weight reached 11.23 g, yield per plant to reach 223.18 g, yields up to 29459.74 kg/hm2, the fruit quality was significantly higher than 10 cm of conventional planting density, but there was no significant difference comparing to the planting density at 25 cm and 20 cm spacing in the rows. Therefore, it was suggest that the planting density of 15 cm spacing in the rows was suitable for strawberry cultivation and this method was worth promoting for field production.
