Can strawberry be grown in the plains and not just the hills?

Strawberry is not only a hill crop, it is grown commercially in the plains of Punjab, Haryana, western UP, Maharashtra and elsewhere as a cool-season winter crop, planted so the fruiting runs through the cooler months and finishes before the heat sets in. Success in the plains depends on choosing the right variety for the shorter cool window, using raised beds with plastic mulch and drip, planting healthy runners or plug plants at the correct time, and protecting fruit from early heat at the season's end. The main risks are sudden heat shortening the season and the fruit's perishability, so plan your market and harvest labour. Confirm the recommended variety, exact planting window and a genuine plant source for Jalandhar with your KVK and local growers.
