Many gardeners notice that over time, strawberries begin to shrink – urgent measures must be taken!
It turns out that if you eliminate just three reasons for the fruit becoming smaller, the fruit will become large again.
First of all, it is necessary to understand that everything has the property of aging. As a rule, the largest fruits can be obtained in the second or third year of the bed's life.
Therefore, it is recommended to completely renew the bushes, which will lead to an increase in fruits. Try to ensure that strawberry bushes grow no more than 5 years.
The second reason for the reduction in fruit size is a lack of moisture and nutrition. Strawberries often lack water. Daily watering will solve this problem.
Also use complex mineral fertilizers during the planting process during the fruit formation period.
The third reason is a large number of pests and diseases. Parasites can easily cause the death of the bush.
To get rid of them, you can use fungicides and insecticides, not forgetting about regular watering and fertilizing.
