What varieties of strawberries are better to grow in the suburbs?

Garden strawberries for the Moscow region are not only a delicacy, but also an important source of vitamins. Competent selection of the variety type will provide the expected result without unnecessary costs. The choice of a variety is based on the characteristics of climatic conditions and soil composition. In the article we will tell you about the best strawberry varieties for the Moscow region, we will give their detailed description.

What type of soil is preferable for planting garden strawberries

Garden strawberries are capable of producing crops on almost any type of soil, although the yield depends on its composition. For strawberries in the Moscow region, light and medium soils are desirable:

• podzolized chernozem;
• dark gray forest.

The yield will decrease when planting on:

• sod-podzolic;
• light gray;
• peat.

The depth of the groundwater is also important. The optimal value is 65-70 cm (not less). The acidity varies from 5.5 to 6.5, so the application of nutrients and fertilizers will have to be coordinated with the soil composition of the site. Place the ridges on the southwestern slopes, and the growing season begins earlier, the berries will ripen faster. Avoid low-lying and confined areas where the soil freezes down to -8 °. Garden strawberries will die here.

Tip # 1. Plant the selected strawberry varieties in warm, lighted places. This will increase the survival rate of the bushes and the yield.

The main characteristics of strawberries, manifested in the Moscow region

Place strawberry beds with sufficient distance between bushes and lighting to create conditions for the variety to increase its yield.

Benefits of strawberry culture:

1. Environmental endurance. With the inept use of fertilizers, building mixtures, the soil becomes contaminated. Strawberries withstand soil pollution and produce a crop.
2. Compatible with garden plants. It gets along with conifers, fruit, ornamental and even weeds.

Disadvantages of garden strawberries:

1. Poor self-pollination or self-fertility.
2. Cannot tolerate its own root secretions. Therefore, it requires mustache reproduction and within the recommended time frame.
3. Gardeners grow strawberries in the same area with different flowering and harvesting periods. This technique allows you to have fresh berries during the season.

Bird droppings	Contains more elements than manure. The effect on strawberries is similar to that of a multicomponent mineral fertilizer.	The infusion is introduced in a diluted state.

"Fruit and berry mixture"	Competent ratio of components for strawberry culture. It is introduced by the foliar method.	Strictly maintain the concentration of the solution so as not to harm the garden strawberries. Serves as a supplement to the main fertilization in the soil.

Errors made by gardeners when choosing strawberry varieties

Apply fertilizers strictly rationed to avoid overfeeding and increased growth of bushes.

1. Growing one or two varieties of garden strawberries. The characteristics of the varieties will manifest themselves with good pollination or cross-pollination. The berries do not get sick, the flower setting is excellent, the fruiting level is high. Therefore, 4-6 varieties are planted in the strawberry area to improve performance. They choose crops with different ripening periods, and they do not forget the remontant one.
2. Planting only remontant varieties. The calculation is for re-bearing. Read also the article: → "Planting garden and remontant strawberries, rules of care, feeding." In the climatic conditions of the Moscow region, ordinary strawberry varieties should be planted, and remontant is in addition. Autumn fruiting of remontant varieties is possible only when the ridges are covered.
3. Choose ampelous varieties. For the region, rooted drooping whiskers are distinguished by the best fruiting, which is typical for remontant strawberries.Ampelnaya freezes out in a harsh climate, which will require the annual laying of new structures.

Tip # 2. Grow more varieties of strawberries in the same area. Bees pollinate crops and the yield increases significantly.

Having correctly selected a variety for cultivation, gardeners make mistakes when cultivating garden strawberries, which affects the characteristics of the variety:

Observe the watering regime for barnless strawberries to avoid the harmful effects of drought on varieties.

1. Shrubs of varietal garden strawberries are planted without removing the leaves. When planting, it is required to remove the foliage so that the seedlings do not die or weaken. Otherwise, the variety will not provide the desired result.
2. Do not shorten the roots when planting. The roots of the seedlings are cut to a size of 10 cm. In this case, they are well distributed in the planting hole and do not bend. Root bending is the cause of root death and bushes disease.
3. Adult plants are planted on new ridges. For planting, you need to take rooted sockets of the current year. Otherwise, the yield of the plantation will suffer.
4. Avoid hilling strawberry bushes. The soil around the plant settles, the strawberry grows in vigor, so hilling increases the fruit bearing and the size of the berries. Important! Do not cover hearts with earth.

Questions for gardeners caring for strawberry beds

Plant strawberry bushes within the recommended time frame so as not to reduce yield and fruit quality.

Question number 1. We have been growing strawberries in one place for over 7 years. The harvest is satisfying. Is it necessary to change the location of the ridges?

Transplanting bushes is also carried out due to the adaptability of pests to strawberry varieties. In addition, it is necessary to restore soil fertility and renew the material. Therefore, you should not choose only a decrease in yield as a criterion for transplanting.

Question number 2. I first learned about the concept of weedy varieties of strawberries. What is it and how are these plants harmful?

Weed (aggressive) species fall into the ridges by self-sowing or when buying seedlings in an unfamiliar place. They are divided according to the criteria:

• lack of peduncles;
• barren flowers on bushes;
• small deformed berries with good care.

Peg the cultivar that is planted to comply with agricultural requirements and to select the right cultivar for the site.

Strawberry weeds are plants with strong vegetative growth. Bushes are large, give numerous whiskers, spread quickly. Varietal strawberries are oppressed by their reproduction. How to fight? Carefully inspect the ridges and notice unusual and lean plants., Destroy them.

Question number 3. In the strawberry beds there is a flower paradise, but there are no fruits. What is the reason?

Examine the plants carefully for several signs:

1. The flower has a dark center. This is a sign of damage during the frost period. Fertilization is impossible.
2. Ovaries are absent on selected bushes. These plants belong to the weeds and need to be removed.
3. The number of berries is reduced and they are small. The reason is heavy rains during the flowering period of the crop or the absence of pollinators (bees, bumblebees).
4. There are ovaries, but they dry out and fall off. Examine the ridges for a weevil beetle.

Strawberries are grown everywhere: from the warm coast of the Black Sea region to the northern corners of our country. But not all varieties of this culture are suitable for planting in a particular region. Many of the varieties are zoned, and for good reason. For example, in the Moscow region, where, it would seem, the climate is ideal for this fragrant berry, gardeners and gardeners prefer frost-resistant varieties. After all, the middle zone of Russia is famous for unpredictable spring and autumn frosts. In addition, there are many more nuances that must be taken into account if we choose varieties for cultivation in the Moscow region.

Variety selection criteria

The Moscow region is characterized by unexpected frosts in late spring and early autumn. It is impossible to predict them in advance, so quite often most of the landings die from them. However, if the plants themselves survive, frost beats the peduncles and the harvest will not have to wait either. For this reason, cold-resistant varieties are chosen for cultivation.

Remontant and ultra-early strawberry varieties are unpopular with gardeners of the Moscow Region. They are the ones who most often suffer from frost.

Another important criterion for choosing a variety is drought tolerance. Summer weather in this region is quite mild, warm, with frequent rains. But in recent years, the climate has presented frequent surprises in the form of prolonged heat waves. Accordingly, it is worth making sure that the strawberries feel comfortable at any time of the year.

In addition to weather conditions, experts advise when choosing a variety to pay attention to the following indicators:

• yield,
• strawberry fruit size,
• resistance to diseases and pests,
• the taste of berries
• ripening terms.
