Strawberries are the most fruitful and fast-growing crop in our gardens. It is not only very tasty, but also very valuable as a medical and dietary food product. How to grow strawberries in your garden? How to make it to be fruitful from the very spring to the frost? It all depends on the correct landing. This culture can grow on everyone's soil.
Planting strawberries
To plant strawberries in autumn or spring you need to remove the darker part of the leaves, and leave only a couple of the youngest and smallest. If this is not done, then the seedlings will simply disappear - they will dry up. This is the most important and widespread cause of death of seedlings.
When planting, if the air temperature is small, then the vaporization of moisture is minimal. At this time, only dry, damaged and diseased leaves should be removed. Between the ground and underground parts of culture there is an exchange of nutritious and useful substances, which the seedlings need so much, even in spite of frosts. If vyvyvazhivaet strawberries in late autumn, then do not remove all the leaves, the other will die.
In any saplings the root system can be closed and open. Closed root systems (with a lump of earth, in pots, cups) has a survival rate of 100%. A seedlings with an open root system are adopted depending on various factors. Strawberries with a weak root system, affected by diseases, get accustomed much worse, I eat strong and healthy. Planting in early autumn is better than planting in the spring. In the autumn, seedlings are more powerful, they grow well, so the harvest rises earlier and earlier.
Proper strawberry planting
Proper agricultural technology plays a huge role in planting. The root cervix should be located on a level with the soil. If you plant it deeper, then when you water the idols, the heart (growth point) will be flooded, and if you plant a little more, they will grow roots. In both cases, the plant is likely to die. Because of this, it is necessary to process the soil (dig, plow) 2-3 weeks before the landing, so that the earth is compacted, and it was possible to calculate the depth of planting. If the soil is loose, then before planting it is necessary to compact, so you reduce the risk of root rupture during shrinkage of the soil.
Next, you need to consider that for a good survival of the seedlings, moisture is necessary. At first (10-15days), the soil moisture should be 100%. For this you need to constantly polish it. It will be easier if you install a drip irrigation system. When the leaves begin to increase intensively, watering can be reduced, but one should not allow the soil to dry out.
How to facilitate the survival of seedlings with an open root system?
For starters, they are not planted in the planned place, but the schoolchild, whose scheme is 5-15 cm in a row and 20-30 cm between rows. After that, set the frame and cover with a film. Well, if it is a slightly sunny place, so that the seedlings do not overheat in the sun. With such a location, it is easier to take care of them. In this schoolchild, plants should stay 2-3 weeks. During this period their roots will be renewed and new leaves will appear. Then they are digging with a clod of land and planted on a permanent planned location. After planting, you need to help plants develop well and bring forth a harvest. For this, it is necessary to take care of them - watering, loosening the soil, feeding and fighting with sobors and diseases.
Sprinkling strawberries
When a plant only develops and grows berries it needs to be poured, but when berries ripen to water it is undesirable, because because of excess moisture the berries become watery and lose their taste. In June, strawberries reach the peak of their fertility, they often blow dry winds and the air temperature is high. So for a couple of weeks the bushes can dry, so the harvest will decrease. In this case, you need to water immediately after the harvest. A couple of days before the next gathering of berries gain their sugar content.
Top-dressing of strawberry
The most important condition for high yields is the nutrition of the soil. Depending on the type of soil for digging, 60-70 g of superphosphate, 25-30 gheeel fertilizers, 7-9 kg of compost or peregrivshego manure per 1 meter are brought in. It is necessary to do this 2.5-3 months before planting strawberries.
Strawberries do not tolerate chlorine, huge doses of mineral fertilizers and fresh manure. In order to get a good harvest, many hygienists make only preplant fertilizers and do not feed any more land for 3 years of operation.
At each period of development strawberry needs different nutrients. In the spring, she nuzhenazot, when she blossoms, she needs phosphorus, when berries grow, there is a need for complex fertilization, and in the fall - vocal.
Often spend a couple of fertilizing with mineral fertilizers. Excellent effect on strawberries combination of foliar and root dressings. Root fertilizing brings the soil in dry form or in a liquid (watering shrubs under the root). In order not to scorch the roots, the liquid fertilizer should be applied to the moist soil. A foliar top dressing is sprayed onto the plant leaves with fertilizers that dissolve in water. Wet leaves do not need to be fertilized. It is best to spray plants in the evening, so that the solution lasts longer on the leaves.
Earth landing scheme
Of great importance are landing schemes. It all depends on the size of the site, the objectives and objectives of cultivation. The strawberry bush is growing productively 2-3 years. Then it will not bring forth such fruits.
If you grow the bushes for 2 years, then they need to be placed 20-25 cm apart with a row spacing of 30 cm.
If you grow the bushes for 3 years, then the landing distance in a row should increase by 10 cm, and the row spacing by 15 cm.
Some gardeners spend one-year growing, every year they plant new seedlings. So you can plant bushes of 50 pieces per 1 meter.
Each gardener should be comfortable to take care of strawberries, and the plant must have enough space for growth, fruiting and nutrition.
The reason for the aging points of growth is that each year the number of hearts increases, and the root remains alone. Moreover, the older the bush, the higher it is above the ground, and this accelerates aging and weakens the root system. To slow down this process, it is necessary at one time to hive bushes from the first year of landing until the moment you replace it with a new seedling. Hilling allows the root to grow on new growth points, and the root system grows and grows. The number and mass of berries will naturally increase, which means that the bush can be used longer.
Fruiting strawberries
An important role in growing strawberries is fruit. If one and the same culture for a long period of time is grown on one plot of land, then pests are planted in it, diseases are accumulated and the infectious background is increasing. Because of this, the plant will spend a lot of time and effort on the fight against these diseases, but could direct the fertilization. Therefore, from time to time, it is necessary to change the soil for plants. If properly to care for strawberries, the infectious background will accumulate slowly and it will be possible to grow it longer in one place.
Strawberries can be grown very long by the system of "Frigo". From cells, the virus-free material is grown and stored in the refrigerator until the very spring. In the spring it is thawed and planted in the soil. After 65-85 days, when the plant grew and brought a harvest, it is destroyed and digged. So the next spring rest. Diseases and pests do not accumulate, simply because they have nothing to winter, because there is nothing to eat. If so grow strawberries, then the soil lasts a long time clean, and nutrients remain longer.
