Autumn feeding of strawberries is considered the most important in a series of gardening chores. The yield of the crop and how prepared the berry will be for the winter depend on it.
The good news is that you can give up organics in the fall. This means that fertilizing with mineral fertilizers will be easier and more accurate.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, reminded summer residents of the most important thing.
How to feed strawberries in autumn
Mineral fertilizers can help, which can be applied in dry form or as solutions.
However, in any case, the procedure is combined with watering.
1. Potassium salt. The fertilizer is dissolved at a rate of 20 g per 10 l of water.
2. Superphosphate – the solution is prepared in a ratio of 10 g of fertilizer per 10 l of water.
Both the first and second fertilizers are used for watering between rows.
3. You can dissolve 2 tablespoons of nitrophoska and 20 g of potassium salt in 10 liters of water.
In this case, the consumption is up to 1 liter per bush.
4. However, the simplest option for feeding strawberries in September is to apply a complex autumn fertilizer.
The good thing about mineral fertilizers is that they allow you to accurately calculate the consumption according to the instructions.
Proper feeding will allow the berry plant to regain its strength before the onset of cold weather and produce a rich harvest in the new season.
