What is the best climate and soil to grow strawberries?

• Climate: The strawberry plants are strongly affected by environmental parameters like temperature, photoperiod, and light intensity. It requires an optimum day temperature of 22°C to 25°C and night temperature of 7°C to 13°C. In a cold climate, frost and winter injury seriously reduce the yield of strawberries. Frost may damage the center of the open flowers, causing the characteristics of a black eye.

• Soil: Strawberry plant grows best in sandy loam soil; on very light soil, frequent irrigation is needed to establish runners. The heavier soil with sufficient soil moisture is better than lighter soil.
