OBJECTIVE OF THE PROOF
The purpose of this work in strawberries, is to prevent diseases derived from the presence of
fungi, bacteria and nutritional deficiencies.
Therefore, monthly soil, root, plant and leaf samples are analyzed for aspects of phytopathology
and nutrition. In order to establish the status of the crop and make decisions to avoid problems,
such as: the use of toxic curative chemicals and excessive expenses.
The results of the monthly sampling of a strawberry orchard, located in Irapuato, are shown
below, in which the monthly analyzis were carried out and the use of biological products was
recommended. As well as the use of some reinforcements in nutrition.
The results were: greater health in the soil, increased yield and decreased use of fungicides.
Which will be observed in the monitoring tables as well as in the photos of the crop

COMPLEMENTARY APPLICATIONS OF
NUTRITION VIA IRRIGATION
Based on the results of the months of September and October, the following
applications are made to the irrigation system. The application was made weekly.
SOIL FERTILIZER APPLICATION
1.0 kg 20-20-20 Nitrogen
3.5 kg 12-48-8 Phosphorus
3.5 kg Potassium
From the month of November the application to the soil is modified, with the
objective of increasing the Nitrogen required by the plant, leaving the application
as the picture shows. The application was made every 21 days.
