Obviously, to increase the yield of strawberries, you need to apply fertilizers.

However, it is important what kind of fertilizers the gardener uses and when the procedure is carried out.

There are means that have a positive effect on the state of culture at any time.

There are also fertilizers that can harm strawberry bushes during and after flowering.

What fertilizer are we talking about?

An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh reminds: during the flowering period, strawberries should not be fed with manure.

This procedure can only be carried out at the beginning of the growing season and after fruiting.

If you ignore this recommendation, the plant will encounter excess nitrogen.

The microelement will promote rapid growth of green mass. But there will obviously be few fruits. The available berries will not be very large.

Want to get a rich and high-quality strawberry harvest? Do not feed it with organic matter during flowering.

If the plant still needs feeding during this period, then you need to focus on potassium and phosphorus fertilizers.
