Boron deficiency is a huge danger for currant bushes.
Due to the lack of this important microelement, the condition of the leaf blades deteriorates, the plant does not bloom very abundantly, few ovaries appear, and the fruits that form do not acquire a bright taste.
In addition, the crop becomes more vulnerable to many diseases (including gray mold and bacteriosis).
To avoid problems, boric acid must be used when caring for the plant.
However, this must be done very carefully, emphasized the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
How to Use Boric Acid Properly
Add two grams of this product to a bucket filled with high-temperature water.
No more. Excess boron is no less dangerous for the plant than a deficiency of this same microelement.
After mixing, you will get a solution that you need to water the area where you plan to plant currants.
In addition, drops of this liquid can be poured onto the leaves of currant bushes. But this must be done before flowering and fruiting.
The result of the above procedures should be an increase in the chances of getting a large number of tasty berries.
Earlier, summer residents were told about a super-remedy that allows them to grow large raspberries.
