In the summer, currant bushes are covered with berries for those summer residents who are not lazy in the spring and perform three simple steps.
Gardening will protect plants from diseases, ensure explosive growth and fruiting. You can start working as early as April.
Trimming
Use pruning shears to remove damaged, diseased, old and dried shoots. In addition, you need to remove branches that grow inward.
This will improve air circulation, reduce the risk of fungal diseases, and the bush will not waste resources on old shoots.
Processing
To reduce the chances of developing fungal diseases, the bushes should be treated with copper sulfate - 100 g per 10 liters of water.
Top dressing
After pruning, the currant will need strength to grow young shoots. They will be the most fruitful in the future.
In spring, currants need nitrogen fertilizer. The trunk circle is watered and then sprinkled with urea granules - 15 g per adult bush. The fertilizer is dug into the soil.
