Abstract

In order to definite the causes of continuous cropping of strawberry in greenhouse,the effect of strawberry continuous cropping on soil microflora,water-soluble salt content,soil nutrient content were studied and analyzed.The results showed that soil acidity changed significantly,and the pH was between 5.8~5.9,which had reached the level of acidification;the number of fungi in the soil was 7~8 times higher than the background plots,a serious increase in the number of pathogens;the salt content in the soil had increased to some extent,especially Ca2+,NO3- and SO42- content increased significantly;soil nutrient content would not reduce or lost with continuous cropping,on the contrary,due to chemical fertilizer applied,some nutrients also showed a trend of increase.
