Strawberry dressing during fruiting and flowering

So, if you follow all the rules, then the time that was devoted to growing seedlings will not be lost.

 

Fertilizing under the strawberries that are blooming

 

For high-quality fruit ripening, timely and useful feeding and processing strawberries during flowering and fruiting. In this period of time, plants can be fertilized only once, and with mineral fertilizers intended for this period. For strawberry bushes that have begun to bloom conventional fertilizer is not recommended. During this period, strawberries need potassium consumption, therefore it is better to purchase potassium nitrate and prepare a solution: add one teaspoon of fertilizer to a 10-liter bucket of water. When the first buds and inflorescences appear, the bushes must be sprinkled with rotten chicken droppings and wood ash. But since these substances are intrusive, it is necessary to adhere to the permissible dosage, as if not to harm. To get a larger number of inflorescences, strawberry plants will need to be well poured with boric acid: a pinch of powder is needed on a 10-liter bucket of water.

 

Proper care of flowering plants

 

The first thing to remember, during flowering, the bush must gain strength in order to bear fruit well. Therefore, the formed mustache must immediately be removed so that they do not draw moisture from the soil. The dried leaves also need to be carefully picked or cut off by secateurs.

In order for the strawberry bushes to bloom well, weeds need to be regularly weed, the soil loosened around the bush, preventing cracking of the soil and the formation of a crust, thereby improving air flow.

 

 

Foliar nutrition for a flowering plant

 

Giving growth to the plant, it is important not to lose sight of the fact that foliar feeding strawberries during flowering and bearing fruit is very important. This procedure can be repeated three times, namely during the growing season.

1. When young leaves appear.

2. During the formation of peduncles.

3. With the advent and the beginning of the growth of the ovary.

A nutritious “cocktail” for a strawberry plant can be prepared as follows: take 2 g of potassium permanganate and potassium sulfate, as well as 1 g of boric acid. Such a complex is perfect for planting seedlings on beds. Performing foliar top dressing, you can spray the leaves from all sides, but especially pay attention to the lower part, since the fertilizer is absorbed through this side of the sheet.

During the period of ejection of peduncles, it will be useful to spray the bushes with a 0.02% zinc sulfate solution. Significantly increase the yield of berries using a solution with trace elements, if used for spraying when the strawberries are in bloom. Additional spraying of the plants with boric acid will also be beneficial. To do this, 10 g of powder should be diluted in a bucket of water. You can also fertilize strawberry bushes with a ready-made complex and balanced composition, taking into account the need of the plant at the moment. A sufficient amount of trace elements is contained in complex fertilizer. Using it, you can increase the yield of strawberry bush by about 30%.

 

 

Extra fertilizer for strawberries

 

Potassium top dressing of strawberries during flowering is very necessary, the video clip will tell a lot about this. Also, the whole berry plot will be useful to feed bird (in particular chicken) droppings, which had previously been infused with the addition of wood ash. When the peduncles appear, a mullein solution can be used.

Some agronomists give advice on how to use yeast for additional nutrition. This is new, but gardeners use this method with great pleasure.The product is natural, and as a universal fertilizer. In addition to strawberries, it is suitable for other plants both in the garden and in the garden. You can apply this type of fertilizer several times a season. To nourish 10 strawberry slices, you need to spend 5 liters of solution.

Proper preparation of fertilizer: take 5 liters of water, add a pack (1 kg) of pressed yeast. Give time to insist, for this it is enough to stand for two hours in a warm place. For each strawberry bush, you need to make half a liter of the finished solution. It is possible to use not only fresh yeast to prepare such a fertilizer, but instant ones will do as well. In this case, one packet of dry product should be mixed with a glass of water, room temperature, add 2 tablespoons of sugar into it and mix well. Pour this mixture into a 10 liter bucket of water and leave it warm for several hours to mature. During watering, add half a liter of the prepared solution to the watering can with water.

 

 

If you do not adhere to the established rules for watering plants on the site, as well as do not carry out disease prevention and pest control, you will notice that the fruits will be small and not juicy. To prevent this, it is simply necessary to provide strawberry bushes with sufficient moisture, especially during flowering and fruiting. This is also important for another reason. The root system of this plant is not deep, so it does not have the ability to get water, and as you know, a lack of moisture exposes the root to drying. But, we must not forget that an excess of moisture provokes the appearance of gray rot and spoilage of berries.

Conclusion: the water charge should be moderate!

 

Soil and its meaning

 

For a good and plentiful crop, the composition of the soil is of great importance. Therefore, you need to know that loosened earth passes moisture through itself per 1 square meter of 10-12 liters of water. Clay soil absorbs approximately 2 liters more water. Water strawberries that bloom best early in the morning, using not-so-cold water. Watering should be done once a week if weather conditions permit.

In the dry period, watering can be increased, and when it rains, watering must be canceled altogether.

Before the onset of warm and sunny days, strawberry bushes should be covered with plastic wrap.

There is one important point that needs to be taken into account: if, even before flowers appeared, the bushes were irrigated by rains, then watering can be done differently. Modern technologies offer drip irrigation.

 

 

Care for flowering strawberry bushes

 

If there are not many bushes on the site, then you can use a watering can to water them. During this procedure, it is better not to pour water on the peduncles. It is important to monitor the condition of the soil, which is located at the roots of the bush. They should not look out after irrigation, and if this is observed, then it is necessary to fill up with earth.

Fertilization during fruiting

 

It may seem superfluous to fertilize when there are already fruits. But this is not so. There is no need to refuse such feeding. Practice shows that the largest fruits are the first. Berries from the second or third peduncle are no longer large. To fix this situation, you need to feed the bushes.

What to use for fertilizer?

· Ready compost, weighing 4 kg, put in a bucket of water and pour strawberries under the root.

· Dry mullein (3 kg) placed in a bucket of water and let it brew for a couple of days, and then water the plants.

· Stir chicken litter with water, adhering to a proportion of 1:10, give three days to insist, water strawberries trying not to touch leaves and berries.

· Strawberry dressing during flowering and fruiting with ash is very useful, as it increases yield.

 

 

Tips for Use

 

To obtain a high-quality, juicy berry, as well as a high yield, one should not detract from the summer feeding. Also do not forget about post-harvest strawberry care. During the flowering period, dressing can be carried out only once. You can choose the composition yourself.

Plants must be given organic fertilizers without fail, because it affects the crop and the berries can be eaten calmly, they do not absorb “chemistry”.

Fertilizing should be done on moist soil, and best of all after rain.

During feeding, it is desirable that the prepared composition does not fall on the leaves and berries of strawberries.
