How to plant Strawberries In Hydroponic cultivation of Hydroponic is a tutorial – without media does not provide the soil nutrient elements and is a stage of agriculture in controlled environmental conditions. Strawberries little vegetative way with tendrils aka stolen. Tendrils are special rods that arise from the leaf axil. Tendrils grow parallel to the ground and form shoots puppies on each segment. On each book as well as the roots of plantlets arise shoots grow into new plants. From each plant can be obtained 20 trees to be used as seeds. When the seedlings are already grown and have 4-5 strands of leaves then be moved to the dike wall with trunks 15 × 15 cm. before a mandatory selected seedlings were transferred in advance i.e. selected seeds are healthy and active. Two months later the tendrils are ready to move to a farm (Herlinayanti, 2003).
Strawberry belongs to one of the plants that are easy to a little with in vitro techniques. From a bud meristem capacity 0.5-0.7, mm can be produced 15-20 shots every week. Of the 15 rifles retrieved can be divided into 7-8 groups, each consisting of two tops. Within 6-8 weeks new teams would return to form numerous shoots. Then the tops of the shoots back broken in several groups to produce thousands of plants
An important factor in make before planting in the greenhouse is the sterilization of the greenhouse. Sterilization is done with the intention to clean the entire greenhouse of microorganisms (egg/larva, viruses, bacteria, and fungi) that can finish the plant. There are some materials that can be used in sterilization, among others; Lysol, formaldehyde as well as some type of pesticide, by the way: 5% Formalin is sprayed into all stages of the greenhouse with a concentration 5 cc/liter of water; Within 4-5 days after spraying formalin followed by spraying pesticides (insecticides and fungicides) and repeated up to 2-3 times a day before planting media styled, greenhouse sprayed with glycol solution with a concentration of 3-5 cc/liter water and disinfecting foot tubs Installation so that the disease could not be brought into the greenhouse.
When planted in a pot, the media is obligated to have the shaft, calm water, and nutrient elements there are regular (Anonymous, 2009a). While Strawberry plants are grown in an enclosed space (greenhouse) can use rock wool media aka husk charcoal. Rockwool is limestone, mixed with fiber yarn that is processed at high temperature (600 ° C). Shell Charcoal derived from the page skin burned. Both the planting medium used for cultivation using hydroponics. More widespread husk charcoal farmers for planting strawberries bags cannot bind to the hard. So nutrients are against the plants can be controlled and damage the roots when plants were transferred (Budiman and Daisy, 2005).
Hydroponic cultivation system of essential nutrient elements required by plants is provided in the form of solution/nutrition. The nutrient solution built with tutorial fertilizer salts dissolving in water. Some salt type fertilizer nutrient solution can be used for (Anonymous, 2009b). One of the distress in the preparation of this nutrient solution was not yet causing nutrient dosage that is optimal for plant growth. At doses that are too low, the influence of nutrient solution was not real while at doses that are too high can undergo plasmolysis plant effect, i.e., the appearance of the cell fluid causes interested by a more concentrated nutrient solution (Wijayani, 2000; Marschner, 1986).
Fertilizing and Watering (Fertigation) on the cultivation of hydroponic systems are made by way of a coexisting. Could do with Fertigation technical manual watering system aka drops (Drip irrigation system). Designate a professional but is best with Fertigation system watering drops because the Fertigation can be plus by the way, to minimize labor, save time. There are several factors that need to be taken care of in the system of irrigation i.e. drip; the value of water (water source) is required as well as the net freely from the disease as well as chemicals, nutritional value with mandatory nutrient composition with the needs of the crop and have 100% soluble performance, timing, volume and frequency of Fertigation and the type of media used (Gunawan, 2008).
There are some important factors in determining the formula hydroponics nutrients such as: Wearing the salt dissolves quickly in water; Minimize the content of sodium, chloride, ammonium and organic nitrogen element that is not required for plant growth and wear of the composition of the salt that is not purely antagonistic to each other.
