What you'll learn

  • Select suitable strawberry varieties and manage nursery seedlings for strong field establishment and uniform plant growth.
  • Prepare beds, mulch, and schedule irrigation and nutrients to maximise flowering, fruit set, and overall yield.
  • Track plant development stages, apply crop-care practices, and control pests or diseases for consistently high-quality berries.
  • Harvest, grade, store, and market strawberries profitably after calculating production costs and identifying reliable buyers.

Course content

3 sections • 15 lectures • 2h 37m total length

  • Course Outline7:58

    Master strawberry crop production from seedling to profits by exploring irrigation options, mulching, land prep, nutrition, pest and disease control, pruning, and continuous harvesting across growth stages.

  • Introduction11:00

    Explore strawberry farming from soil and open field to greenhouse and hydroponic setups, covering climate, irrigation, nutrition, market potential, and integrated pest management.

  • Water; Seed Selection10:11

Description

Strawberries command premium prices, yet many growers struggle with weak runners, disease losses, or post-harvest bruising. This complete guide, filmed on working farms with eLengo agronomists, walks you through every stage needed to produce firm, flavourful berries and steady income on plots up to two acres.


WHAT YOU WILL MASTER

  • Seedling and runner propagation – choose vigorous varieties, prepare trays, control temperature and moisture, and root healthy transplants.

  • Field management – build raised beds, set drip lines, lay reflective mulch, space plants correctly, and apply balanced nutrition for large, uniform berries.

  • Integrated pest and disease control – tackle spider mites, aphids, powdery mildew, and fruit rot using low-cost, market-approved methods.

  • Harvest and marketing – pick at peak ripeness, grade and pack to prevent bruising, calculate costs, and negotiate prices with local traders, grocers, or direct customers.

Lessons are concise, practical, and reinforced with on-farm demonstrations. A downloadable manual summarises all key steps for quick reference in the field.


By the end of the course, you will confidently establish a vigorous strawberry nursery, minimise losses throughout flowering and fruiting, harvest bright red berries with high sugar content, and turn your crop into dependable profit, whether you manage a raised-bed kitchen garden or a small commercial block.
