How to get 8-10 kg of black currant bush. Care

Some truckers in this year's crop of black currant failed. Perhaps something was lost in farming techniques and care. Of course, the yield depends on the variety. Usually I get a bucket bush berries. I will share their secrets.

I have several varieties of black currants, this sort of "Summer Resident", "Volodinka", "Chelyabinsk", "Peterburzhenka", "The Little Prince". All of them are resistant to diseases, bud and spider mites, drought-resistant and cold-resistant.

Berries are harvested from July to August, as the maturation of each bush.

How to look after the harvest

After harvest, you should not relax, you need to perform certain actions with bushes of black currant.

pruning

First of all, it is necessary to return the bushes attractive: to conduct sanitary pruning, remove old branches, they are immediately visible, and they are determined by a dark brown shade. The following year, they are useless will not - do not form new shoots. Need to cut, without sparing, at the very base. Due to trim all the power plants start up the tab new kidney.

The main crop in the autumn before hibernation.

Watering

After the sanitary pruning shrubs well spill, especially if the weather is dry, there was a kidney to a bookmark, and plants well wintered. In adult bush need to pour at least 5 liters of water. The next watering is carried out in the autumn, before preparing for the winter. Before you pour, the soil on top of a little loose, or you can make a small groove around the bush to a depth of 10 cm. To keep the water under the bushes recommended to make mulch (suitable grass cuttings).

Watering is carried out during the growing period if there is no rain. Especially do not need to lose time before flowering, in late May, and during the emergence of berries (early July). If you skip watering during these periods, it will affect your crop currant. Berries are too tiny, and the skin they will be stout.

feeding

The soil in my sandy, so fertilizing, I pay special attention to.

I spend 4 feeding. One carried out in early spring, two in summer (during the formation of the green berries at harvest time) in the fall.

I spend the first feeding after the snow melts. To do this, use the infusion of mullein. Typically, I pour 2 buckets under adult bush. You can replace the chicken manure in pellet or horse manure, presented in the dry granules, fertilizer called "Orgavit". Everything should be done according to the instructions. From this feeding will depend on the size of berries.

The second and third feeding more abundant - 2-3 buckets solution of green manureor infusion yeast mixture in an amount of 10 liters. Due to such fertilizers berries will be larger, and the harvest will be 8-10 kg per bush.

After harvest, the soil under the bushes severely depleted. You need to make phosphorus-potassium fertilizer. This double superphosphate and potassium sulfate. At 1 bucket of water will need 1 tbsp. Spoon superphosphate (previously dissolved in hot water and mix), 1 tbsp. Spoon potassium sulfate, 1 cup of ash. This solution need a bucket 2 on the bush.

Pest and disease control

In the spring of treatment is carried drugs from the bushes pests and diseases, which saves up to 90 percent of the crop. This will prevent the bushes from aphids, spider mites, and bud, mildew, moth, and others. The first treatment is carried out before flowering, the second after flowering, after 10 days.

From disease using sulfa drugs "Tiovit Jet" fungicide "Rusk" and pest insecticide "Malathion".

Under the winter, you can pour the compost under the bushes for a better overwintering.

These are the activities should be carried out with bushes of black currant for a great harvest.
