Free report: Strawberry cultivation

by Asmita Gaire | 20-02-2021 12:00








As an undergraduate, we have come to the year where we have to practice field works. Though, I am a veterinarian; knowledge have no limits. During my field visit, I come to see a strawberry farm that's very limited in Nepal. There are only very few strawberry farm in Nepal. The first ever strawberry farm in the province 03 of Nepal, I was very excited to visit it. Therefore, I planned and went to visit it. It was really a very big, and we'll managed farm of strawberry cultivation.

It was started during lockdown period, almost been 6 months. The strawberry have sprouted, blossom and now it's giving it's fruit also. People of this province visit very frequently for the strawberry and this show demand for strawberry is very high. Why can't be demand high, isn't it?

The nutritional benefits of strawberry is worth saying. Strawberries are bright red, juicy, and sweet. They're an excellent source of vitamin C and manganese and also contain decent amounts of folate (vitamin B9) and potassium. Strawberries are very rich in antioxidants and plant compounds, which may have benefits for heart health and blood sugar control.

The folate in strawberry aids in DNA replication.These potent little packages protect your heart, increase HDL (good) cholesterol, lower your blood pressure, and guard against cancer. Packed with vitamins, fiber, and particularly high levels of antioxidants known as polyphenols, strawberries are a sodium-free, fat-free, cholesterol-free, low-calorie food.

The research has showed that eating eight medium size strawberry is very good for health. The cultivation of strawberry there was basically done for research purpose of PhD student. The purpose was to find which varieties of strawberry prove best for the soil of province number 03. The trial is still ongoing. It's really very good to see the several Eco friendly practices, and development in agricultural practices by several students and universities.
