CROP CULTIVATION TIPS

Strawberries

Strawberries are booming, with the global market set to grow to $18.66 billion by 2028. As greenhouse acreage expands, more growers worldwide—from Canada to the Netherlands to Mexico —are adding strawberries alongside vegetable crops or optimizing existing production to meet rising demand.

But growing strawberries successfully requires precise climate control, especially in challenging environments. Cold-climate growers must balance light, temperature, and humidity to extend the season, while warmer regions face challenges like heat stress and airflow management.

At Svensson, we work with strawberry growers across the globe to create the ideal greenhouse climate. From light diffusion to energy savings and ventilation, our solutions help you grow healthier, high-quality strawberries—wherever you're located.

Healthy strawberries start with the right climate

Humidity At night, strawberries prefer 10°C (50°F), but radiative heat loss and condensation can be a challenge.

Light Shading prevents small fruit, while morning screens warm plants in cold climates. Insulation and light transmission are key.

Temperature Growers must tailor strategies by variety while ensuring a healthy climate without relying on heat to prevent dead air.

Strawberry Screening Guide

We’ve created a Strawberry Screening Guide tailored for cold-climate growers looking to optimize greenhouse conditions and boost efficiency.

This guide covers key strategies for screening, ventilation, and energy-efficient growth, helping you manage temperature, humidity, and airflow while maximizing light use. Learn how LED and HPS lighting can extend your season, the best screening techniques for everbearers and June bearers, and how to balance heating and ventilation for better fruit quality. Whether you're expanding production or just getting started, this guide provides the insights you need to grow smarter, reduce costs, and produce top-quality strawberries year-round.
