Cultivated plants need additional feeding. Summer residents themselves decide what fertilizers to apply. These can be complex mineral additives, organic fertilizers, such as compost and humus.
During strawberry flowering, there are three additives you should pay attention to.
An expert of the online publication " BelNovosti ", agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told what fertilizers to apply during the flowering of strawberries.
Complex mineral fertilizers
They contain all the necessary nutrients for strawberries, including nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. They are usually added to the soil before flowering or at the beginning of flowering.
Organic fertilizers
Compost or humus is a good source of nutrients for strawberries. It can be used with mineral fertilizers or separately.
Nitrogen fertilizers
During flowering, strawberries especially need nitrogen. The formation of new flowers and fruits depends on its amount in the soil.
At this time, urea, ammonium nitrate or other nitrogen fertilizers are added.
But the main thing is not to forget that an excess of fertilizers is just as harmful as a deficiency. Therefore, industrial additives should be applied according to the instructions, based on the needs of the plants and the condition of the soil.
