Strawberries are one of the crops that are usually fed quite often.
This strengthens the immune system of the berry crop, allows it to be healthier and, in the long term, is a kind of “investment” in a high-quality harvest.
But it is important not only to compile a list of fertilizers as correctly as possible, but also to apply them correctly, notes the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
What are the 5 main rules?
Consider weather conditions when applying foliar feeding
An important element of strawberry care is foliar feeding. However, it is worth knowing that the weather plays an important role in this.
It must be dry. If there is precipitation, the procedure of adding nutrients will have to be repeated again.
Spraying time
An important factor in the success of feeding is also time. As a rule, the procedure is carried out only early in the morning or late in the evening.
It is better not to do this at other times.
Sheet processing
Many forget that it is necessary to treat not only the outer part of the foliage, but also the inner one. In this case, the feeding will be more effective.
Application of granules
It is important to remember that the application of dry mixtures should be carried out according to a special rule: the soil is first moistened and only then sealed.
Watering
The rule applies to dry fertilizers again. After you have applied them and distributed them correctly, you should definitely water them.
If you follow these five rules, it will give an excellent effect.
