Many people grow berry bushes on their plots, as they usually produce a bountiful harvest.
However, sometimes currants can disappoint you.
If you notice that the berries have started to fall, you can't delay: Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, explains that it is important to correctly determine the cause.
Which 3 of these are most common?
Diseases and insects
This reason is the most common and poses a real threat to the harvest. Therefore, it is more productive to carry out all necessary treatments for preventive purposes.
In this case, you will be sure that no one else will "claim" your harvest.
Amount of moisture
Some people believe that currants do not depend on watering as much as many other crops. This is generally true, but it is important to understand that in conditions of moisture deficiency, the bush will shed its berries.
Therefore, make sure that the soil does not dry out.
Not the best area
Not every place will allow currants to grow and develop effectively. You cannot plant bushes in areas where water constantly stagnates.
Currants do not like to be in open areas where they are exposed to gusts of wind.
Also, you shouldn’t plant the bush in the shade: the harvest will be of poor quality.
