In spring, some summer residents do not take proper care of their raspberry bushes.
These mistakes may come back to haunt you later: perhaps the harvest will be meager and of poor quality.
It is possible that very few fruits will form. And they will not be the largest.
An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told what spring mistakes of summer residents lead to a serious decrease in raspberry yields.
Incorrect pruning
In mid-spring, many owners of country plots are engaged in pruning raspberry bushes.
And this is correct: you need to ensure that the plant has access to sunlight and nutrients.
In addition, it is necessary to provide the culture with protection from diseases and pests. Therefore, damaged and diseased branches cannot be left.
However, pruning should not be excessive, otherwise the yield will drop.
Urea top dressing
Some summer residents apply urea even before the snow melts.
This is a gross mistake: at low temperatures the plant will hardly be able to absorb the microelements it needs.
Earlier, summer residents were told about the peculiarities of planting pears in the spring.
