Every gardener who grows cherries is afraid that the plant will produce small and not the most tasty fruits.
I don't want to find out that my efforts were wasted.
How can we ensure that the harvest is abundant and of high quality?
An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh emphasizes: correct fertilizing of the plant at the beginning of the fruiting period is of great importance.
At this time, the crop needs to be given the necessary microelements, without allowing an excess of those components that the tree already has enough of.
How to feed cherries after the first berries appear
At this time, the plant needs two components - potassium and phosphorus.
But excess nitrogen can cause serious harm to the plant.
At the start of fruiting, the ideal remedy for cherries will be a mixture that includes unburned wood residues and potassium humate.
The liquid is very easy to prepare: you need to take a bucket, fill it almost completely with water, pour 50 milliliters of potassium humate into the container and add one glass of unburned wood residue.
The resulting mass should be used when watering the tree. Thanks to this simple procedure, the plant will receive all the components it needs and will be protected from the abundance of the nitrogen component.
An important step will be taken to obtain a large number of large and sweet berries.
The lunar calendar for gardeners and vegetable growers for February 2024 was previously presented.
