The best green mans for strawberries

All gardeners tirelessly care about increasing yields.To achieve this result through the use of special fertilizers and pesticides is possible, but the consequences are sad. There is an alternative - the use of sideratov, however, they need to understand.

The fecundity of garden strawberries is determined largely by the characteristics of the land in which it grows. Sideration in spring and autumn allows you to increase these characteristics and further increase the amount of the crop, to improve its quality. Typical siderats are annual, exceptionally rare perennials.

Botanically, cultures can belong to different families, however, they have in common that all the best green manures for strawberries are rapidly accumulating a green mass. As a result of the application of carefully selected crops, it is possible to improve the structure of the earth and saturate it with nutrients, further suppressing the development of weeds.

To improve the land for the subsequent cultivation of strawberries fit:

• rape;
• peas;
• dill;
• buckwheat;
• phacelia;
• mustard and some other species.

Planting is possible at any time while the vegetative season lasts. However, in the case when it is planned to grow strawberries, agronomists have their own wishes. They believe that it is preferable to sow preparatory plants in early spring or autumn. Regardless of the specific time frame, the selection of siderates is crucial. Each type is planted in a strictly allotted time.

If you plan to not only improve the structure of the soil, but also to feed it, normally developed plants mow. Then they need to bury in the ground. There is a green mass naturally rotting.

It serves as a powerful stimulus for biological processes, improves the quality of aeration and water penetration.

In the spring, buckwheat is one of the main candidates. Its advantage is shortened growing season. In this case, the plant has time to form the root system up to 50 cm in length. After buckwheat, the land will become loose, acidity will drop. The composition of the soil will be more phosphorus, potassium. Increase and the concentration of useful organic components.

Instead of buckwheat, you can grow oilseed radish. It significantly increases the concentration of nitrogen in the earth and destroys nematodes. Where the radish is planted, the risk of weed development is minimal, even as hard as wheatgrass. All weeds are simply suppressed by the accelerated development of culture. Mustard, rapeseed and rape are capable of replacing radish in this regard, but these are wintery green mans planted in the fall or, at most, in August.

From the family of legumes attractive lupins. Its root complex can form a symbiosis with nodule microbes. As a result, the accumulation of nitrogen can reach 200 kg per 1 ha. Importantly, the lupine root has a length of up to 2 m. Thanks to it, the nutritional components come from the lower earthen layers to the upper ones. Lupine is planted in the first days of March.

Close up the green mass in the soil should be at the moment when the pods will be folded. If you grow several lupine bushes at once, you can significantly improve the appearance of the territory. Lupine blooms very beautifully. Other spring sideratami are:

• dill;
• calendula;
• garlic;
• marigold;
• spinach;
• kosmey.

If planting is planned not in summer, but in autumn months, it is required to plant seeds superficially, covering them with mulch. One of the main plants used in this mode is mustard. This culture contributes to the saturation of the earth with potassium and phosphorus (and not just saturation, but in a form that is available to other plants). It is noted that after the mustard at the site, the risk of planting damage by fusarium, wireworm, pathological fungi, scab, late blight and rhizoctaniasis is minimal.Rape can be planted only in August, and this is the deadline.

Under the influence of rape:

• fertility of the earth increases;
• increasing the presence of phosphorus, sulfur;
• increases the occurrence of organic components;
• reduces the risk of weeds and microscopic fungi.

Such cereals as oats, rye, vetch, are very useful. All three cultures help to increase the concentration of the main mineral components of the fertile land. Rye effectively suppresses weeds, eliminates nematodes and fungi. Where it grows, the root complex loosens the earth. You can sow together vetch and oats, which contribute to the effective saturation of the earth with useful substances.

To sideraty gave the best effect, alternate their landing. But in some cases use a mixture of dissimilar seeds. In the spring of auxiliary plants planted close to the holes, which will soon become the location of the strawberries.

Cut the tops produced at the beginning of flowering. The resulting green mass is used as mulch. You cannot bury it very deeply, because the supply of oxygen is critical. If it is broken, the tops will not be able to systematically turn into fertilizer. Important: in the fall, it is permissible to plant only winter crops that will survive until spring.

Beans, peas are planted on the site where they plan to grow strawberries, only in spring. Such plants are becoming an attractive substitute for manure. Lupine, a combination of oats with Vika can be planted from March 1 to March 10. As soon as the early beans, it is necessary to grind the plant and apply it as mulch.

To create a shadow above the strawberry beds, it is best to apply cosmey and phacelia. Potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, and cucumbers are unacceptable as siderates and predecessors of strawberries. From all these crops to strawberries, a Fusarium Wilt can become a dangerous disease. This type of fungus provokes rotting root complex. The pathological organism is able to survive 10 years in the earth, and if it infects a plant, it invariably dies.

Usually the correct use of sideratov allows you to heal the earth for 4-6 years. When this period passes, the improvement of the land must be repeated anew. Important: do not assume that any one plant is able to perform all the tasks. When selecting a species or making a mixture, the required purpose, the type of soil and its chemical composition are taken into account. It is required to take into account exactly which substances are missing.
