Many mustache and berries does not: how to influence the strawberries

Vaughn, the neighbors already collected in buckets. And looking at his strawberries - and I want to cry. Where are the berries? Why give so many bushes mustache? Really have to uproot?

Yes,offensively. But not criminal. And fruiting, and the formation of whiskers - absolutely natural for strawberry breeding processes. To finally eat sweet berries with their beds, it is necessary to know why, instead of a first embodiment of a plant chooses second, and help bush stand "on the right path."

1. "Blockage" strawberries. Sometimes among the deans of hybrid shrub grows "wildings". There are 2 reasons why, in the garden there are inbred plants: self-sowing or planting obviously hopeless plants (an unscrupulous dealer or ignorant / "good" friend gave). The fact that hybrid seedlings of strawberries not repeat the signs of a parent plant. Lots of mustaches, and the berries are small and tasteless.

Remove these bushes. Fertilizing and pruning are not made of wildings normally fertile hybrid.

2. Strawberries planted in the past year, Is likely to go in a mustache, but not in bloom and bud. Especially when the late autumn planting. The plant does not have time to lay the conditions for flowering and choose the path of least resistance, releasing his mustache.

No need to rush plant. Continue to care for the next year will thank strawberries sweet berries.

3. Beetle weevil - wily competitor gardener, ready to eat the first strawberries. Feeding on plant sap, insect does not tie berries: buds or simply fall off the ovary. And strawberries, realizing that in seed reproduction she did not shine, begins to mass produce his mustache.

Abscission of flowers, dry leaf edges and holes on them - signs of weevil work. Therefore, at the beginning of the flowering process better fit "fitoverm" - a biological drug that will make future toxic berries.

4. Strawberry patch can not live forever. She needs to update an average of once every 5 years.

5. Another reason for the growth of whiskers at the expense of fruiting - "greasing" strawberries. Bushes, not knowing phosphorus and potassium, but generously treats nitrogen and organic matter, prefer to increase the green mass. A berry - can be counted on the fingers!

6. Alas, sometimes strawberry does not want to give the berries because of the reason, there is little dependent on the gardener. For example, when pollination occurs. Since bees are now quite matter, it is not surprising that many shrubs are left without a crop. Persistent rains worsen the picture. Anything that can make the gardener - to choose self-pollinated hybrids.
