Care for late strawberries

In order for a crop to yield a good harvest, it must be properly cared for. What are the features of planting and growing strawberries, as well as caring for them, we will consider further.

Choosing a site

Late varieties of strawberries grow on almost any soil, but the yield, taste and resistance to diseases are several times higher precisely on those soils to which the berry is more responsive. Loves strawberries light fertile soils. Grows well on sandy, sandy loam soils. Worse - on peat and sod-podzolic.

The location of groundwater is no closer than 70 cm. In areas where the water level is higher, good drainage of the soil or high beds are recommended. It is not recommended to plant strawberries in the lowlands. The acidity of the soil is 5.5-6.6. At a lower level, experienced farmers recommend liming the soil, at a higher level, gypsum plastering.

Preparing the site for planting

• In the fall, the site needs to be dug up onto a shovel bayonet. In the spring (before planting) - loosen the soil by 15 cm.
• Check for the presence of pests, pay particular attention to this in the presence of dense plantings nearby and when using fresh manure. Having found "uninvited guests", treat the land with ammonia water.
• Treat weeds with herbicides.

Boarding time

Planting time varies by region:

• Spring. After the snow melts and the earth warms up. At this time, the land is saturated with moisture, and plants are less susceptible to return frost. A later planting is fraught with the death of seedlings under the hot sun.
• Autumn. The optimal planting time is from August to September. Late planting is fraught with loss of harvest for the next year, since the plant will not have time to take root.

Stocking density

Basically, late varieties of strawberries are planted with a distance between rosettes of 20-30 cm, lines - 30 cm and row spacing - 60-70 cm (two-line planting). With a one-line, the indicators are as follows: between the sockets - 15-20 cm, between the lines - 60-70 cm. With more frequent planting, the plants will not have enough light and air permeability, which can lead to diseases.

Planting depth

Shorten the roots more than 8 cm, deepen into the planting hole so that the root collar is at the level of the soil, straighten the roots and cover them with soil, carefully compact. Water abundantly and mulch the soil around the outlets. It is advisable to shade for several days of planting.

Watering

For the first 2 weeks, keep the soil moist - you need to water it daily, then every 2 days. Water the rest of the time, depending on the weather conditions, do not dry out. Mulching will prevent the soil from drying out.

Top dressing

Fertilizers are recommended to be applied at least 5 cm from the bush. For most varieties, 4 dressings are enough:

1. 14 days after planting. Superphosphate (30 g) and wood ash - half a glass are taken for 10 liters of water.
2. The beginning of flowering. Dilute mullein with water in a ratio of 1: 6; chicken droppings - 1:20. Insist for 7 days. For 10 liters of solution - half a glass of ash. Subsequent feeding - every 2 weeks.
3. Mullein is diluted with water in a ratio of 1: 6, half a glass of ash, superphosphate (50 g) and 20 liters of water are added.
4. Dilute mullein with water (1: 6); chicken droppings - 1:20. Insist for 7 days. For 10 liters of solution - half a glass of ash.

The latest varieties require additional feeding.

Late strawberries: the best varieties. Gardener's advice and feedback

Below we will consider the most frequently asked questions by novice gardeners and provide answers to them and recommendations of experienced farmers.

Do I need to trim the strawberry leaves?

Leaves are essential for good plant growth and development. They are divided into autumn, summer and spring. The latter appear in April and play an important role in harvesting. After fruiting, they are replaced by summer ones, it is they that serve to lay the buds and accumulate nutrients. The latest, autumn leaves, appear in September-October. The berry hibernates with them.

• It is better not to mow autumn leaves, as they serve as a natural protection for strawberry rosettes. Pruning them affects the future harvest (next year).
• If strawberry bushes are damaged by pests and diseases, the leaves must be cut off unambiguously. The sooner the better. After picking berries from the bush, the leaves should be cut off, leaving the growing point and processed. The bush will get stronger until autumn and prepare for winter.
• The latest strawberry variety (Malvina) is recommended to thin out during fruiting, periodically cutting off the leaves. This will provide better ventilation and lighting for the berries.
• After fruiting, professionals advise cutting off the lower old leaves and excess mustache from the bushes.

The most reliable variety for a summer resident near Moscow?

The tested late varieties of strawberries for the Moscow region, which are not afraid of the climatic conditions of the middle zone and guarantee a harvest, are an ageless "classic", proven over the years.

• Zenga-Zengana is a late variety of German selection. Bushes are tall, with a lot of leaves. Productivity - 2 kg per 1 m2. Berries weighing up to 20 g, cone-shaped, dark red, with firm pulp, sweet taste and strong aroma. The variety tolerates winter well, has the ability to recover, it does not tolerate high temperatures - the berry becomes smaller. Resistant to disease.

There are a lot of newer varieties suitable for growing in the Moscow region, but the most reliable varieties of late strawberries that winter well, with large fruits and good yields are Polka, Tenira, Borovitskaya, Vigoda, Maryshka, Carmen, Bohema.

Why mulch the soil?

One of the main reasons for mulching is temperature control. In summer, mulch saves the soil from overheating, in winter - from freezing. In the spring, the ground is covered with dark material so that it warms up better. To cool the soil, cover it with light mulch. So it stays moist longer, and the tops of the plants, on the contrary, warm up better.

In addition, mulching inhibits the growth of weeds. Mulch from organic matter, gradually decomposing, supplies the soil with nutrients, as a result, its structure improves. The material protects the soil from being washed out by rains and weathering, protects against diseases and pests.

Which variety to choose in Belarus?

There are a lot of Dutch varieties in Belarus now, but time has shown that they do not always meet expectations. Most of the gardeners note that the best late strawberry varieties in Belarus are Hepill, Cabot, Salsa, Galyachiv, Adria, Finella. I would especially like to mention the Japanese variety Chamora Turusi, as it quickly gained popularity.

Chamora Turusi is a medium late variety with a yield of up to 1.5 kg per plant. The plant is tall, powerful with large leaves. The berries are large, weighing up to 110 g, with dense pulp and strawberry aroma. The fruits are transportable, with a long shelf life. The variety is hardy and winter-hardy. Susceptible to fungal diseases, but resistant to powdery mildew.

What is the tastiest, sweetest and largest strawberry variety? Which strawberry is late?

Description of the variety, reviews confirm that Malvina strawberry is an amazing, latest variety.Delicious berries ripen in July, when many varieties have completed fruiting.

Numerous reviews also note the excellent taste of the Chamora Turusi variety. Some gardeners claim that this berry is moody, but the aroma and taste of the strawberry is excellent.

The variety Great Britain was also highly appreciated by gardeners for its amazing aroma and very large fruits. Gardeners note the culture's immunity to diseases and excellent transportability.

Want to enjoy garden strawberries (strawberries) for as long as possible? Then plant varieties with different ripening periods. And be sure to plant some late strawberry bushes that bear fruit in the second half of summer.

Every summer resident wants to open the strawberry season as soon as possible. Why, then, are late varieties needed, which begin to bear fruit in mid-June, and some in early July? There are several advantages of growing such strawberries:

• the time for picking berries is extended (when other varieties have already borne fruit, the later one is just beginning);
• during the season for collecting other berries and processing them for the winter, you will still have fresh strawberries for harvesting;
• some varieties are capable of bearing fruit until September, which means that the vitamin berry will be on the table all this time.

The best and most popular strawberry varieties to plant in the garden: Bohemia, Great Britain, Gigantella Maxim, Malvina, Pegasus, Princess Diana, Charlotte.

Late strawberries can be planted both in spring and autumn. In the first case, this is done when the snow melts from the site and the soil warms up. The earth must be saturated with moisture. Autumn planting involves the transfer of seedlings to open ground in August-September. When planted later, the plants may not have time to take root. And this is fraught with loss of harvest next season.

It is difficult to surprise someone with a strawberry in its natural ripening season, and a much different effect can be produced by achieving a good result earlier or much later than usual, and it is absolutely great to learn the intricacies of growing berries all year round. Such a prospect will bring not only moral satisfaction to the gardener, but also significant profits, since in the winter season the price tags for strawberries are several times higher than the cost of berries in the high season.

Strawberries are among the varietal crops and there are an incredibly large number of them, and each of them has certain properties and other individual characteristics. This is expressed in the following:

• weight and size indicators of berries;
• time of full ripening of fruits;
• resistance to all kinds of pest attacks;
• tolerance to temperature changes;
• soil adaptation parameters.

According to the varieties, the best varieties of strawberries are subdivided into varieties of purely local origin and species bred by plant breeding (breeding). Local varieties, for the most part, are grown at an amateur level for personal pleasure, their advantage is easy adaptation to regional conditions and quite decent yields. But the cultivation of selective crops has already a more global development with the use of a certain number of technologies for mass cultivation in large agricultural complexes.

New technologies for year-round cultivation of strawberries

By resorting to traditional methods of cultivating a crop such as strawberries, you can get a completely decent harvest, but only once a year, many are quite satisfied with this state of affairs, but there are also such skilled gardeners who manage to shoot two or even three worthy crops in season.

To achieve such an excellent result, the following growing methods have been developed and tested more than once in practice:

• Drip irrigation;
• Hydroponics on a special substrate;
• Artificial lighting with the required wavelength;
• The use of systematic culture media.

Strawberry varieties for year-round cultivation

The varieties that would have the ability to bear fruit continuously simply do not exist, therefore, in order to obtain effective results, it is customary to use remontant varieties, such as the “Queen Elizabeth” or “Selva” variety. Plants of these species, provided with proper conditions and care, will bear fruit all year round. The correctness of the care is to make timely replacement of "spent" bushes with new ones.

In addition, strawberry varieties are divided according to their purpose:

• For indoor use. Such plants need to ensure a certain temperature regime, clear indicators of humidity and the required intensity of illumination.
• For open ground.Plant varieties are not picky about the quality and intensity of illumination, and also tolerate some changes in ambient temperature quite well.

Early varieties of strawberries

How to ensure the yield of strawberry crops

There are many sources of information on ensuring proper strawberry care, gardeners are happy to not only demonstrate strawberry varieties, but share their skills and knowledge on how to achieve what they want to others.

Given the fact that strawberries are among the crops that require intensive feeding, due attention should be paid to the choice of nutrients for it in the form of organic fertilizers. It is especially important to comply with all the rules of feeding during the growing season and fruiting.

Professional strawberry growers recommend combining varieties (early, mid-ripening, late) - this helps ensure an almost uninterrupted harvesting cycle.

Many amateur gardeners have already learned how to grow strawberries at home, practically turning their apartment into a kind of plantation. This has become possible largely thanks to well-thought-out simple technologies:

• Fans are used as pollinators;
• Sunlight is replaced with specific lamps;
• For the convenience of harvesting, the substrate is enclosed in cellophane.
