When the strawberry plantation begins to bloom abundantly, it is time to apply fertilizer, which has a truly multifunctional effect.

This fertilizer, according to summer residents who have tested it, is capable of increasing the plant’s ability to form ovaries, and accordingly, the number of berries will also increase.

In addition, the fertilizer improves the taste of the fruit and increases its sugar content, and the berries grow larger as a result of its use.

What do you need to prepare a nutrient solution?

It includes 100 ml of diluted (mother) solution of potassium permanganate, 100 ml of potassium humate and 2 g of boric acid (this is about half a level teaspoon, which should be diluted in a small amount of hot water).

In turn, to prepare a stock solution of potassium permanganate, you only need to pour a bag of potassium permanganate into a liter jar of water and stir.

This fertilizer should be applied to previously watered soil - one bush needs 1 liter of solution. For young plants, this amount is reduced by exactly half.
