Features of watering strawberries during flowering

Many gardeners prefer to grow exactly strawberries "Victoria" on their plots, since it is usually unpretentious in care and can grow in almost any climatic conditions. Often, to get a good harvest you do not need to take any special actions, but with enhanced care, strawberries can make you happy with a rich harvest.

So that during the growth and development of the culture, pests and diseases do not appear on it, it must be watered and fertilized. "Victoria" is recommended to land in places where there are no strong winds, and which are abundantly illuminated by the sun. In this case, the culture quickly takes root and bears fruit well. It should be remembered that highly wetted lands can cause sour and small berries.

Gardeners note that the main agrotechnical methods of care for this crop are:

• loosening;
• weed removal;
• fertilization;
• watering.

The size and size of the crop, as well as its quality depend on the frequency of feeding and watering. When carrying out such a procedure, it is recommended to clarify which types of fertilizer may be useful for the crop and which may be harmful.

Currently, there are 2 types of strawberries, which can bear fruit once or repeatedly. Irrespective of a look, watering and top dressing are made equally. In the first year after the landing, it is not necessary to add additional fertilizers, since the components that were introduced into the well during the landing will be sufficient for the bush. In the second year, it is recommended to add some organic ingredients to the soil.

As soon as heat appears in the spring and snow comes off, it is necessary to take up fertilizer and watering the plot. To do this, you must first examine the bushes and remove from them the affected processes. Then it is recommended to bring a large amount of nutrients that are in the composition of nitrogenous agents. This component can cause the active growth of strawberries after winter.

Summer residents recommend using ammonium nitrate. To do this, 5 g of the drug is dissolved in 10 liters of water and applied to the soil, while trying not to fall on the plant itself. It is noted that an average of 500 g of this solution can be added to 1 bush. It must be remembered that too much fertilizer and moisture will not bring the desired result, and can only aggravate the situation, as a result of which the berries become tasteless and small.

Those who have the ability to make chicken droppings use such fertilizers as alternatives. A kilogram of raw material is drawn into 10 liters of water for 6 days, and then the solution is poured out in the amount of 300 grams per bush. You can also use water infusion of humus.

Strawberry "Victoria" requires feeding and watering not only in the spring periods. At the time of the appearance of the colors of the components necessary for good growth and development of the culture, it is also required no less, especially if the plant has been growing for 3 or more years on one bed.

Some gardeners say that in the period of the appearance of flowers, feeding is not recommended, but this is not quite so. It is during the flowering period that the intensive movement of the juices in the stems, which move from the roots to the flowers, occurs, and therefore it is recommended to make additional feeding and watering. It is necessary to make money under the roots themselves, trying not to fall on the green shoots.

At the time of flowering, you can make the following fertilizers:

1. ash;
2. humus;
3. litter chickens.

Feed bushes also need in the fall. During the flowering and fruiting period, plants choose the maximum amount of useful components from the soil, and also exhaust their own strength, and therefore, before wintering, the bush needs help to maintain immunity.

As soon as new fruits cease to appear, and this usually happens at the beginning of autumn, it is necessary to apply fertilizer. To do this, apply the infusion of manure or manure. These components are dissolved in water 1:10 and poured in the amount of 2 liters under a bush.

Closer to the moment of the appearance of frosts, when the leaves are already falling, it is necessary to make a second feeding. In this case, you can use saltpeter and ash. It is necessary to make these fertilizers in the amount of 100 grams per square meter.

After such events, the culture will be strengthened and will not experience a shortage of useful components during frosts. Also, gardeners can feel calm in the winter, as they will be confident that next year strawberries will rise well and bear fruit.

In addition to the usual ways of making additional feeding, modern summer residents are surprised by innovations. Recently, yeasts have been used to improve the condition of strawberries. They can be used for active growth. In the yeast is a large number of useful components for the culture. Yeast helps to strengthen the roots, which is the main key to obtaining a good harvest. The fruits themselves acquire more beneficial ingredients and become more delicious.

To prepare the composition it is necessary to take 50 g of raw materials and pour them with a liter of warm water. This composition is infused for 2 hours, and then diluted in water 1: 5.

The use of such dressing has been proven for a long time and is relevant for all types of strawberries.

This element has also found its use in gardening, as it has healing properties that are familiar to many farmers. Boric acid will help protect the plant from pests, improve immunity and prevent diseases from spreading. Also, the acid helps to improve the taste of the fruit.

It is noted that when there is a small amount of boron in the soil, the strawberry roots lack the necessary energy. If at the same time moisture will be enough in the ground, then the plant can infect rot. Currently, there are many recipes for the preparation of solutions based on boric acid. In some cases, you can combine it with other drugs.

The most effective at the moment is such a solution:

• 5 grams of acid, add a bucket of water and pour 10 grams of manganese;
• let it brew for 5 hours;
• water the bushes in the evening and cool weather when there is no wind.

As you can see, for strawberry "Victoria" a sufficient amount of moisture will be the best option, you should not over-moisten the soil. After the first fruits appear, it is recommended to water properly - just under the root. To do this, use a watering can or special sprinklers. Adhering to these rules of care, you can achieve good fruiting and maximum yield.
