How to water strawberries: follow these rules - or the berries will grow small
It is no secret to experienced gardeners that strawberries always become smaller in conditions of prolonged drought.
Therefore, according to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , timely watering is so important for the crop.
In this article you will find recommendations for watering strawberries, which, according to the experience of summer residents, help them get a good harvest of berries.
It is recommended to water strawberries early in the morning or late in the evening so that the water penetrates deep into the soil and does not evaporate quickly.
It is important to avoid getting water directly on the rosette where the strawberry buds and flowers are located.
Water consumption should be at least 20 liters per square meter.
If watering is done with a watering can, it is advisable to choose a time when the sun is setting to the west and there are no direct rays of the sun. In this case, the drops of water remaining on the leaves will not act as lenses.
In the case where drip irrigation is organized on the site, the time of watering does not matter, since the water goes directly to each bush.
