Strawberry "Wima Tarda": description of the variety and agricultural technology

Strawberry "Wima Tarda" is divided into four types: "Zanta", "Xima", "Rina" and "Tarda".Garden culture was developed during the hybridization of “Zanta” and “Vikoda” by Dutch breeders. It is they who are trying to bring varieties that have a great harvest.

According to the description, the varieties of berries are large fruits of saturated scarlet color with a bright shade. On the tip often forms yellowness, the shape resembles a truncated pyramid. The taste of strawberries sweet, with the taste and aroma of strawberries. Shrubs are a dark green thick with rich foliage. The stems are tall and strong, can hold a large berry for a long time.

The fruits are intended for standard use. They can be eaten fresh, cooked compotes, jams, used as decoration for baking. The berries respond well to freezing and are stored in the refrigerator for a long time. One of the important factors is that berries are well heat treated.

Before talking about the benefits of "Wima Tarda", you need to get acquainted with the conditions of agricultural engineering. When choosing seedlings must take into account the appearance of the plant. The root neck should be not less than 6 mm in diameter, and the root length should not be more than 7 cm. A rotten and damaged surface should be absent on the root system and berries.

After buying seedlings need to start planting. You can plant a plant in spring or autumn. In spring planting remove all flower stalks, and then seedlings are planted. Marshy areas can even not be considered. The plant does not survive there and immediately dies. Choose a warm and sunny place on flat and smooth areas. In the shade the berries will not be so sweet and may rot. As you can see, the right choice of soil plays an essential role for the fruitful growth of the plant.

The bed must be prepared for disembarkation, digging the ground along with fertilizer. It includes: humus, superphosphate, potash salts and nitrogenous fertilizers. The soil is disinfected with a soap solution with the addition of ammonia. In the process of fruiting, fertilization is carried out from bird droppings.

Watering is necessary after the first landing, and after the appearance of the berries is more abundant than usual. Optimal watering will be drip, using a watering can for watering with a spray. To preserve moisture, you can use mulch, this will help in case irrigation can not be carried out regularly.

Breeding "Wima Tarda" several methods.

Part of the outlet comes off the bush, while maintaining part of the spine simultaneously with a clod of soil. After that, without delay, the seedlings are planted in the already finished hole together with humus. Approximately three days goes engraftment to the ground. This method is considered aggressive, since it is possible to damage the seedlings by plucking rosettes from the native bush.

Separated whiskers are placed in a solution of water, which should contain mineral fertilizer, phosphates and calcium. In the future, the roots are planted in a cup with the earth, watered for five days. After this process takes root. Sapling in a glass grows 10 days, then it is planted in the ground. Full bush can already be observed after 45 days.

Dried fruit, then selected from the seeds. They can be stored for a long time, then they are planted in pre-prepared soil. Gardeners have a set of rules for growing seeds. Before planting seedlings, prepare the soil for faster seed growth. Planting seeds gives a serious guarantee that the plant will grow healthy and will be much less exposed to diseases and respond to temperature.

Dried seeds are not planted without preparation.First you need to keep them at +4 + 5 ° С. Then the seeds are moistened in water with gauze and placed in a container or lid with it. Keep the seeds in the fridge for two weeks. Gauze with seeds should not dry out, if necessary, it should be moistened with water again.

If there is no desire to harden the seeds, then it is possible to process them with manganese essence. Pre-soaking, for the neutralization of seeds and inhibiting the growth of plant substances. For 3 months before planting, the procedure is hardened. Treated with potassium permanganate and soaked for several days before planting the seed in the soil. Seed swelling indicates the degree of readiness for landing on the ground.

If you want to start collecting fruits in the first year after planting, then it is worth preparing seedlings from February. In another case, sowing begins in April. Gardeners, densely engaged in the cultivation of strawberries, only the next year offer to harvest, allowing the plant to get stronger. Flowers pinch, not allowing the plant to form berries. For planting mix sand, humus, peat and soil in a 1: 1 ratio.

The earth should be necessarily light, not dense. Often the soil is watered with potassium permanganate essence to disinfect the soil several weeks before planting the seeds.

Gardener must monitor the degree of moisture in the greenhouse. As soon as vapor accumulations of liquids appear, open the plant for 2-3 hours, then close again. Developed plants need to dive to 2-3 leaves. Greenhouses, in turn, should not dry out, watch for soil moisture. Seedlings can be planted in the ground with fully formed 5-6 leaves. When seedlings get stronger, they can be safely transplanted into the ground.

Seedlings "Wima Tarda" planted in the spring from mid-April to early May. And in the fall from the beginning of August to the very end of September. Gardeners like to plant most in mid-August. Before the first frosts begin, seedlings will have time to get used to the soil, and next year fruits will appear. When planting bushes, it is important to keep a distance of up to 50 cm, otherwise they will prevent each other from growing due to the density of the plant.

A universal dressing is added to a hole up to 10 cm, then the roots are dipped in watery mud called “chatterbox”, the seedlings are put on the bottom of the hole and covered with soil. From above compacted the earth, covered with peat or mulch layer of 3 cm. Garden strawberries are divided into two types:

• remontant;
• not remontant.

The essential difference between the two types is that remontant varieties require more abundant watering, feeding and care. But remontants are subject to more rapid aging, as they bear fruit throughout the season, but the second species is resting. Only the shrubs and leaves remind you that there are strawberries in your garden or vegetable garden. Because they throw the fruit only once, and then please only with its thick green, for which you also need to care.

Bushes in both cases also overwinter under snow. Berry, bearing fruit throughout the season, is classified by the presence or absence of a mustache. “Wima Tarda” belongs to the remontant variety, which brings harvest all season.

"Wima Tarda" has a lot of positive feedback. Strawberries are considered tasty, and the harvest is rich. The variety adapts well to the universal soil and bears fruit throughout the season. The berries are surprisingly large and sweet, sometimes found even with a strawberry flavor. "Wima Tarda" according to gardeners has several advantages:

• able to bear fruit all season;
• during flowering many flowers appear that affect the appearance of a large number of fruits;
• one bush can bring up to 1 kg of crop;
• fruits are quite large, with dressing can reach 50 g;
• frost-resistant, and also well tolerates drought;
• the species is resistant to viral and fungal diseases.

Deficiencies in the variety are also available. This is quite a demanding plant that actively responds to weather phenomena. For lack of light, sun and enough moisture. These factors can affect the development of fruits, the appearance of shrubs and the active growth of the plant. To increase the yield you need to take care of the plant and feed it with organic matter and mineral fertilizers. Timely spraying against pests brings even more success in obtaining a rich harvest.
