Post-harvest feeding is extremely important, as it helps crops recover, survive the coming cold weather, and not disappoint us with the quantity and quality of berries.
It is advisable to "feed" raspberries throughout August, using fertilizers of various compositions.
This will help to satisfy the crop's needs for various substances, explains landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert for the online publication BelNovosti.
What recommendations should you keep in mind?
Nitrogen
First of all, it is important to remember the dangers of nitrogen. In certain cases, it should be applied in small quantities. But an excess of the substance leads to the appearance of greenery. As a result, the root system does not have time to go into "sleep mode" in a timely manner.
Therefore, by the end of August you can forget about nitrogen.
What compounds can and should be added?
There are compositions that are best suited for fertilizing crops at the end of summer. These include potassium sulfate and monophosphate. You can pay attention to potassium magnesium sulfate, which also shows excellent results.
Borofoska is an excellent choice, as it contains boron and calcium.
If you notice from external signs that you cannot do without nitrogen, then the best choice will be potassium nitrate. But it should be applied in reasonable quantities.
