The crop must always be properly cared for, as this will help keep the strawberries healthy and maintain the yield at a decent level.
If you forget about proper care, you can lose your harvest.
It is enough to pay attention to the three most important rules of care, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer.
What do they consist of?
Mulch
This is a very important point of care, which will protect the root system from various temperature changes and drought. It will also reduce the likelihood of weed germination.
It is best to use a mixture of prepared compost and peat.
Mulch the berry crop after you have carried out the fertilizing and loosening procedures.
Watering
Strawberries can be classified as crops that react negatively to excess liquid. Therefore, watering is carried out only once every seven days.
However, during the flowering and fruiting period, we apply moisture once every five days.
One plant requires 2-2.5 glasses of water.
Nutrients and Pests
It is important to apply all necessary fertilizers according to the schedule so that the strawberries do not need anything. If the plant has all the necessary fertilizers, it will give an excellent harvest.
Also, the most correct method would be preventive treatment of plants against pests.
