How to properly care for strawberries after plodonosheniya.🍓 for high yields
Some bushes have finished fruiting, and late varieties continue to delight us with berries. Harvest, do not forget about plants recklessly until next year. Now strawberries really need proper care.
How will take care of strawberries in July and August, a harvest and will next season. In late summer, bush and does not think to stop active: grow a mustache, leaves, food and stores even flower buds! I believe that predosenny care of strawberries even more important than the next season before fruiting.
So, what do you want?
Cut off all unnecessary
Some gardeners admit blunder: cut all green under the net. "Bald" bush will not be able to gain strength before hibernation and give next year a decent crop.
To cut it is only necessary:
- strawberry mustache. Stretching and growing "kids", they take the plant a bunch of strength and power. If you wish to propagate shrubs, leave at the very best plants one by one the strongest usu.
- Old and sick leaves. First, they prevent young shoots. Secondly, it is a hotbed of fungi and bacteria. Third, simply do not need.
Young leaves and all the "horns" should be left in place. Strawberry bit of anatomy:
So. These same horns damage generally can not. Future flower stalks are laid only in them.
Take care of the health of plantation
On strawberries were seen signs of pests and diseases? It's time to take up the treatment.
In the first half of the summer gardener was bound hand and foot. Apply chemicals during the formation and ripening of berries is dangerous: there is a risk of toxicity to the treated crop bushes.
Now you can use serious drugs. For example, "aktellik" from strawberry mite or "Topaz" by fungi. Yes, and handle trimmed bushes much easier!
Weed strawberry beds
Rule "Clean - the guarantee of health" extends to the garden plants. The proximity of the weeds would not be good: poor ventilation, shading, excess moisture and nooks for pests... Yes, and weed bed looks much tidier.
additional forage
Plants have already spent a lot of nutrients. Garden grower task - to make up the lack of the necessary chemical elements.
Choose complex granulated fertilizer composition. The main criterion - NPK ratio:
- N (nitrogen) Is needed for the growth of leaves, but in small quantities. Otherwise bush activates the active set of green mass and not be able to properly prepare for the winter rest. Therefore, a substance in the fertilizer must be contained in a small amount.
- P (phosphorus) Spent in space quantities, so, too, is important. It must be greater than the nitrogen.
- K (potassium) - perhaps the best "fall" macrocell for garden plants. And bushes for the winter will strengthen, and will lay berry potential for next year.
An illustrative example of a fertilizers (you can choose any other with the same composition):
Favor means that there are trace elements. For example, iron, magnesium and manganese. Remember that chlorine is contraindicated strawberries!
Of organics can make humus and wood ashes. The first still and improve soil structure.
Other important fad:
- Spredeliv fertilizer evenly around the strawberries, gently Seal in the earth, a ripper. Remember that the plant roots are very close to the surface, so you should be careful.
-
well spill strawberries, which will help dissolve the granules. In general, until the autumn berries should be watered when the ground dries up to emerging flower buds are not thirsty.
Who knows, maybe August heat has prepared for us? If after watering in the earth crust is formed, again gently pass ripper.
