Ash is a versatile form of dressing. It is used as a fertilizer for a variety of crops. It contains potassium, calcium, phosphorus and many more useful trace elements necessary for plant development. Fertilizer is a natural ingredient that is used as an additive for strawberries. Especially the plant needs feeding. in early spring... Feeding with strawberry ash should take place at a certain period of plant development and in accordance with the norms.

Useful properties of wood ash

Ash dressings have a number of advantages:

• They are easy to digest and natural products;
• They contain many useful trace elements necessary for strawberries, such as potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, boron, iron;
• The use of this particular fertilizer has more beneficial qualities than the use of expensive drugs.

Did you know! When ash fertilizers are mixed with nitrogen fertilizers, ammonia is formed. It is poorly tolerated by the berry, so it is not recommended to use such dressings at the same time.

Another advantage of this type of additives is a long shelf life. Fertilizer is placed in a tightly closed container. Water must not get inside, otherwise the fertilizer will lose its medicinal properties... After the ash has been brought in, its effect lasts about 3-4 years.

In order to neutralize the soil from increased acidity, wood ash is used. But here, too, there are some peculiarities. When adding an additive to areas with alkaline soil, the culture may not receive nutrients generally or assimilate them in small quantities.

Features of the use of ash dressings

How to fertilize strawberries? There are several rules that must be strictly adhered to. This will allow you to get a rich strawberry harvest. First of all, it concerns the timing of the additions. Feeding strawberries with ash is done at different times, which depends on the type of soil. For sandy loam and peat soils, ash additives are used only in the spring. If there is clay on the site, then fertilizers are recommended to be applied in the fall.

How to improve yields?

We are constantly receiving letters in which amateur gardeners are worried that due to the cold summer this year there is a poor harvest of potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, and other vegetables. Last year we published TIPS on this matter. But unfortunately, many did not listen, but some still applied. Here is a report from our reader, we want to advise plant growth biostimulants that will help increase the yield up to 50-70%.

Read ...

How much ash dressing will be required is not difficult to determine. It all depends on the area of ​​the treated area. If it is small, it is enough to prepare 1-2 buckets of ash. To grow berries for sale, you will need a lot more of it. About 1 hectare of land is used 15 kg of fertilizer.

How to prepare an ash solution

Ash dressings are versatile and suitable for all types of crops. If gardeners do not have enough time to prepare various types of additives, ash is often used for subcrusting. different vegetables and berries. To prepare a miracle solution, you need to do the following:

1. Take a 10L bucket.
2. Fill it with water.
3. Add 1 glass wood ash and stir.

Watering is necessary at the root of each plant. In addition, ash is used in composting. This will significantly increase the amount of nutrients that are formed in the future.

When to fertilize strawberries

It is necessary to feed strawberries during the growing season 3 times. The first will be needed in the spring, the second - after harvesting, the last - during preparation for winter. When the strawberry begins to dissolve the leaves, the wood ash is poured under the bush and the soil is carefully loosened. Supplemented bushes develop better, and they develop shoots faster.

Spraying of bushes is often used during flowering. Use preparations containing boron and zinc. When the strawberry berries are harvested, they are fed a second time. The latter is necessary to stimulate the formation of new roots and leaves. This happens during the preparation for winter.

Did you know! For top dressing, only wood ash is taken. Remaining after incineration of garbage or household waste is not used.

Why do you need to feed strawberries in spring?

After a long winter, strawberries need nutrients. They are necessary for the normal growth and development of the plant, as well as for the bushes to get stronger and gain strength for good fruiting. For feeding at this time, nitrogen supplements are used. They contribute to the growth of greenery, which is necessary for the further development of the plant. At this time, the best feeding of strawberries with urea will be. Also bushes need supplements containing potassium and phosphorus.

Fertilize strawberries at a time when the snow melts. During this period, the soil is moist, which helps the roots to quickly absorb the additives. In order for the earth to warm up, it is necessary to remove old leaves, mulch, cut off excess. If granular substances are used, they are embedded in the ground. When fertilizing strawberries in the spring, it is important to comply with the norms, since an excess of nitrogen only contributes to the growth of leaves, and there are fewer berries.

Top dressing during flowering

Feeding strawberries with ash during this period is not used. The following additives will help to achieve maximum flowering:

• Boric acid;
• Potassium sulfide;
• Potassium permanganate.

The plant is processed when it begins to bloom. The exact timing depends on the region of growth. It is important to make top dressing on time. If fertilized early, it simply won't work. If you are late, the harvest will be much smaller.

Did you know! It is possible to increase the yield by almost 25-30%. To do this, it is necessary to spray the bushes during flowering. It also contributes to an increase in the mass of berries.

Adding additives during fruiting

Will help to increase the yield organic fertilizers... As a rule, the first wave of berries is the largest. After that, the berries become smaller. To avoid this, add mullein infusion, bird droppings or compost.

Feeding strawberries with ash

And a little about the secrets of the Author

Have you ever experienced unbearable joint pain? And you know firsthand what it is:

• inability to move easily and comfortably;
• discomfort when going up and down stairs;
• unpleasant crunching, clicking not on their own;

The process of growing strawberries is simple, although very responsible. One of the most important conditions for the full growth and development of berry bushes, regular fertilizing remains during flowering. Here, both ready-made purchased drugs and those obtained at home can be used.

What to water and feed

During flowering, strawberries need root feeding. Organic and mineral formulations will be very effective.

Mineral

For root feeding of strawberries during its flowering, it is worth using the following effective recipes:

1. Take 20 g of urea, 200 g of ash, a pinch of manganese and boric acid ... Stir all these components in 10 liters of water. Watering with the resulting solution is carried out at the root. Thanks to this composition, you can simultaneously disinfect and saturate strawberry roots with useful components. But is it possible to feed with urea, and how to do it correctly, is stated

   Urea for strawberries

2. Take 15 liters of water, send 40 g of potassium there, 60 g . One bush will take 0.5 liters of solution.

   

   Nitrofoski

3. For execution foliar feeding you have to take 1 liter of water, add a pinch of potassium sulfate, manganese, boric acid. Process the strawberry leaves with the resulting composition, paying close attention to their lower part. But how boric acid is used for strawberries in spring is described in great detail in this

   

   Potassium sulfate

4. For the treatment of the aboveground part of the plant, it is worth using a 0.02% solution of zinc sulfate.
5. Take 10 liters of water and dissolve 10 g of boric acid there... Use a solution for watering berry bushes.
6. Dissolve 40 ml of ammonia in 10 liters of water... Use the resulting solution for watering under the roots. Mulch the soil under the bushes with meadow clover. Thanks to such actions, it is possible to prevent the growth of succulent grass, and also to create reliable protection strawberries from pests such as beetle and weevil. It will also be useful to know how the

   

   Ammonium for feeding

7. To activate the development of ovaries, it is worth fertilizing the bushes with potash compounds. To do this, take 200 g of ash and scatter it over the surface of the soil. This amount is sufficient for processing 1 m2.

On the video - how to feed the strawberries during flowering:

Finished fertilizers

To fertilize strawberries during flowering, you can use ready-made preparations. Their assortment is large today, but it is worth highlighting only the most effective ones:

Fertilizers, presented in the form of granules, should be diluted in water, following the instructions. A package of 1 kg will be enough for a 40 m2 plantation. For the treatment of remontant varieties of strawberries, all the same preparations are used as for ordinary ones. But only the frequency of feeding is doubled.

Home remedies

Some gardeners use homemade natural remedies when caring for strawberries during flowering. The following recipes remain effective:

How to spray

During the flowering of strawberries, you can not only use root dressing, but also spray the berry bushes. Useful components are absorbed by the sheet mass, especially its lower part. This point should be taken into account when processing plants. During flowering, the following recipes are used:

1. Ready-made mineral formulations. The most effective are Rubin, Hera, Agros. To prepare the solution, you must use the instructions.

   

2. Zinc sulfate... It is necessary to use 0.02% for spraying bushes.
3. Potassium nitrate... You need to take 10 g of the drug and dissolve in 5 liters of water.
4. Yeast... Take them in an amount of 1 kg and dissolve in 5 liters warm water... Insist for a day, and then use to process the aerial parts of strawberries.
5. Nettle infusion... Finely chop the grass, put in a bucket and add hot water... Infuse for a day, and then dilute the finished solution with water in a ratio of 1:10.

   

   Nettle infusion

6. Boric acid. Take 10 liters of water, add a pinch of the drug. Stir the mixture and process the bushes.
7. Dairy products... Thanks to them, it is possible not only to feed the bushes, but also to acidify the soil. This is very important for those areas where the soil is acidified. Even this kind of feeding will perfectly protect the bushes from ticks and aphids. It is necessary to take curdled milk with water in equal proportions and process the bushes. But such a recipe has a minus. It is unable to provide adequate nutrition for plants during the flowering period. So you have to add treatment with nettle infusion.
8. For this composition, you need to take 10 liters of water, add 2 g of potassium sulfate and potassium permanganate, 1 g of boric acid and a bag of any complex feeding for garden strawberries.

   

   Potassium permanganate

Feeding strawberries during their flowering allows you to saturate them with useful components and improve the formation of ovaries. Regularly using foliar or root dressings, it is possible to increase the yield and resistance of plants to various pests and diseases. But you shouldn't overdo it either. An excess of fertilizer can adversely affect the development of bushes and fruiting.

Feeding strawberries is a responsible business. The health of the bushes largely depends on the correct and timely fertilization, as well as future harvest... It is important to feed at the seedling stage, during flowering, ovary formation and fruiting. But feeding during the flowering period is especially important - we will talk about it in the article.

We will find out what goals are pursued by the introduction of additional nutrition for strawberries during this period, which formulations are better to use, we will find out the technology of feeding.

The value of feeding

We will find out what functions the feeding of strawberries is intended to perform during the flowering period.

So, the introduction of additional nutrition for plants during this period allows the strawberries to finally recover, and recover from the transferred winter. Also, top dressing contributes to the formation of more flowers and ovaries. This means that you will have the right to expect a much more abundant harvest of berries.

With proper feeding, the risk of ovary dropping is eliminated, as this usually occurs due to a lack of nutrients. And this is how it happens ammonia, and how to do it yourself.

On the video - how to feed strawberries during flowering:

Essential minerals

During the flowering period, strawberries need a variety of minerals and elements. To form full-fledged ovaries, from which juicy large fruits will subsequently be obtained, the plant requires a large amount of nutrients. Let's take a closer look at the most essential minerals for strawberries during flowering.

Potassium

This substance is responsible for the safety of the crop. In addition, a good level of potassium in the soil increases the sugar content of the berries and improves their taste. If there is not enough potassium, the leaves may begin to wilt, fall off, and die.

Nitrogen

This essential trace element promotes abundant and long-lasting flowering of strawberries. Consequently, the more flowers are tied, the more berries can be harvested later. If there is a lack of nitrogen in the soil, this will lead to blanching and weakening of the foliage, crushing of the berries, and also to a deterioration in their taste. But what to do when aphids appeared on strawberries and what to process for better result set out

Phosphorus and magnesium

These minerals are needed for the successful and abundant formation of flower ovaries. With proper use of magnesium and phosphorus, gardeners can expect high yield berries.

Phosphorus and magnesium

Fertilizers

Consider the most suitable and necessary fertilizers for blooming strawberries.

Azofoska

This universal preparation is used to feed many garden plants. It is also useful for strawberries. The drug compensates for the nitrogen deficiency, and quickly and - in the proportions recommended by the manufacturer - safely.

Azofoska

Potassium monophosphate

This drug compensates for the phosphorus deficiency in the soil, is very easily absorbed, and is used simultaneously with irrigation.

Potassium monophosphate

Ammofoska

The drug is considered safe due to the absence of chlorine, sodium and some other pesticidal substances in it.

Ammofoska

Kemira Lux

This mineral fertilizer compensates for the lack of phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium at the same time. It is produced in the form of granules, which must be used dry, scattering over the garden.

Kemira Lux

Gumi

This is a liquid solution on an organic basis, it is not a chemical preparation, which is important. The preparation contains a significant amount of potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen, which help the bushes to bloom profusely and for a long time.

It is important that this fertilizer, due to the softness of the composition, does not threaten to burn the roots, even in case of an overdose. The standard consumption of the Gumi preparation is 2 teaspoons per bucket of water. But how to spray strawberries from weevil to flowering, and how to do it correctly, is set out in this

Baikal M1

This drug is not used to feed strawberries, but to improve the quality of the soil, which ultimately still leads to an increase in crop yields.

Baikal M1

Potassium nitrate

This mineral fertilizer saturates the soil with potassium and nitrogen, and can be successfully used during the flowering of strawberries. To prepare the correct solution, a teaspoon of the substance must be diluted in a bucket of water. Half a liter of the finished solution is poured under one strawberry bush.

Potassium nitrate

Organic feed

Let's find out which of the organic dressings will be most effective for strawberries during their flowering period.

Ash

This natural substance contains in a large number useful trace elements, therefore, the benefits of ash are undeniable and undeniable. The concentrate is prepared as follows: a glass of ash is poured with liters of boiled water, after which the infusion is left alone for a day.

Ash as fertilizer

The resulting concentrate is diluted before use with a nine-liter volume of water, resulting in this manipulation of a working solution suitable for use. It should be used for root dressing.

Bird droppings

This organic fertilizer is very good for improving the palatability of the berries and for increasing the overall yield. To prepare a solution suitable for use, it is necessary to dissolve half a liter of droppings in a bucket of water.

Bird droppings as fertilizer

It is necessary to set the solution from one to three days. Watering should be done only on pre-moistened soil.

Boric acid

Yeast

This substance, used in cooking, can be successfully used to feed strawberries during their flowering period. It is recommended to carry out yeast feeding twice during the growing season. To prepare the desired solution, dilute a kilogram of yeast (dry or raw) in five liters of water.

Yeast as fertilizer

The solution needs to be infused for several hours, after which it can be used for watering. The resulting concentrate in an amount of half a liter is diluted in a bucket of water and used for irrigation procedures.

It will also be useful to know about how the pvc pipes are horizontal.

Iodine

Fertilizing with iodine perfectly protects the immunity of strawberries, thereby preserving plant health and future harvest.

Repair strawberry

Strawberry varieties of this type are good because they have a very long fruiting period, and besides, they have a high yield. To feed remontant strawberries during the flowering period must be strictly dosed and not randomly.

Strawberries of remontant varieties begin to bloom from about mid-May - and especially during this period, plants need potassium. The rich content of this mineral in the soil will make the berries very large and sweet. In addition, potassium improves appearance and keeping quality of berries.

Repair strawberry

It is possible to feed remontant strawberries with potassium during flowering both by root and foliar method. If this is a root dressing, then you can use a solution of potassium nitrate. And with foliar, it is recommended to use zinc sulfate.

Useful for remontant strawberries and boric acid is a cheap and affordable pharmaceutical preparation. Dilute acid in a proportion of 5 grams of substance per bucket of water.

When adding additional power in this case, it is not recommended to combine different types dressing. Each of them should have its own time and composition, and the minimum break between procedures should be at least 7-10 days.

Spraying

Foliar dressing in this case is also very effective, and sometimes preferable to watering. Note that when strawberry bushes are sprayed with various nutrients, the latter are absorbed by the plant directly using the lower part of the leaf.

Spraying strawberries

Foliar dressing is especially effective during the period of mass flowering of the strawberry garden. Let us consider further which solutions are used for this purpose especially often.

Chemicals

Ready-made complex formulations and monofertilizers of a mineral nature are very often used for foliar feeding of strawberries, including during its flowering. Experienced farmers advise using such ready-made formulations like Rubin, Agros, Hera and others.

It is very important to prepare solutions according to the instructions, without deviating from it (especially in the direction of increasing the concentration).

Zinc sulfate

This substance is useful for strawberries, as it increases its yield. In this case, it is necessary to prepare a solution for spraying in a low concentration: the substance in the solution should be no more than 0.0.2%.

Potassium nitrate

Infusion of fresh nettle

Green infusion of young nettle has a stimulating effect on strawberries, prolongs flowering, increases the number of ovaries. To prepare nettle fertilizer, you need to grind the green mass, place it in a bucket, and fill it with water heated to +50 degrees.

Infusion of fresh nettle

During the day, the solution is infused, then it must be diluted with water in a ratio of 1:10, and can be used for spraying.

Attention: for the foliar feeding procedure, choose a dry day, however, do not spray the bushes in the hot sun, as this can lead to leaf burns.

Experienced gardeners recommend using natural formulations for feeding blooming strawberries. This approach will ensure the safety of the future harvest, and will not harm the plants themselves. In addition, many of the natural formulations can be prepared independently from improvised means purchased at a low cost.

Use not all types of dressings, but only some of them, the most optimal in a particular case. The massive use of all possible formulations will not bring anything good, it will only harm. Optimal options are selected empirically.

Apply organics only diluted with water. Mullein, manure, droppings and other organic fertilizers added in concentrated form can severely burn strawberry roots.

The video shows how to properly feed strawberries during flowering:

Be sure to moisten the soil before any top dressing. In this way, nutrients can penetrate the soil and plants the fastest.

So, we learned how and how to feed strawberries during their flowering. As you can see, feeding at this stage is a must if you want to see a bountiful harvest of large and sweet berries. Applying the alternation of mineral and organic fertilizing, you can achieve the maximum return from the plants, resulting in a wonderful harvest to the surprise of all neighbors and friends.

The whiskers take moisture from the soil, thereby preventing the bush from gaining strength to form berries. Therefore, it is better to carefully remove them with a pruner. It is also necessary to remove dried leaves. All this deprives some of the nutrients of the bushes themselves, therefore, timely attention should be paid to the removal of whiskers and old leaves.

Watering blooming strawberries

The roots of the strawberry are very close to the surface, which means that the plant itself cannot extract water from the soil. Therefore, it is important to provide enough moisture, but not overdo it, as excess water can lead to root damage. Even when watering, you need to take into account the type of soil. If clay predominates in the soil, but irrigation requires 12-14 liters of moisture per meter kW. Loose earth will require less water, 12 liters per square meter. It is best to water the plant in the morning, and the water should not be cold. In the heat, it is recommended to water strawberries every couple of days. During the rainy season, our plant needs protection, it is best to do this by covering the strawberries with a film during dampness in order to avoid the appearance of fungal diseases. When watering flowering berries, it is best to use a watering can so that the water does not get on the flowers.

Pollination

If suddenly you noticed on the bushes of your beauty, instead of red berries, deformed fruits, which are not at all red, this means that the plant did not have enough pollination. This could be influenced by frequent rains, fog, cold weather, and a lack of bees. You can help your pet in this way: dissolve a spoonful of honey in one liter of water and sprinkle the bushes - the bees will definitely fly to your aid. Pollination can also be increased in another way, by planting new varieties of strawberries next to the old ones, with the flow of wind the plants will exchange pollen.

Feeding strawberries during flowering and fruiting

Throughout the entire development cycle, the plant needs nutrients and minerals. During the period of active growth, flowering and formation of the ovary, fruiting and after harvesting, strawberries need various additives and feeding.

Why feed strawberries during flowering and fruiting

Even the most fertile soil, after a few years, tends to deplete, as a result of which the yield and size of the fruits decrease, and their taste decreases. During the flowering and formation of strawberries, the bushes need additional nutrition, but is it possible to feed strawberries during fruiting? It is believed that during the period of active growth and ripening of berries, it is not recommended to make any additives, since the fruits tend to absorb everything that the bush feeds on. This is true, but it is during this period that plants need support. Therefore, you need to carefully choose: how to feed strawberries during fruiting, and fertilizers that can be applied under the berries.

Many gardeners have a question: what is the best way to feed strawberries in spring - organics or minerals? Mineral mixes are quite effective and give good results. But they must be used correctly and with extreme care. The instructions should be followed and overdose should be avoided. This can have a detrimental effect not only on the harvest, but also on human health. Do not add minerals later than 12-14 days before the first fruits ripen. Organic fertilizing will not provide the ovary of very large berries. But on the other hand, it is safe for the human body. In addition, manure and chicken droppings can be applied in any amount. Plants will take from them as many nutrients as required, not more. It is very good to saturate the soil with wood ash. It can be used for root nutrition, as well as foliar feeding. For this, an ash extract is used.

Time next feeding falls in mid-May - early June, when the first flower stalks appear. At this time, strawberries especially need potassium, which improves the appearance of bushes and the taste of berries. Feeding strawberries during flowering will make the future harvest sweeter and significantly increase the shelf life of the berries.

Novice gardeners are wondering if strawberries can be fed during flowering. Some are afraid to disturb the plant during this period, and in vain, because timely root and foliar feeding is beneficial to strawberries.

The first sign of a lack of potassium is leaf tips that are darkened to a brown color, which can subsequently lead to loss of yield. To prevent this from happening, dissolve 1 tsp in 10 liters of water. potassium nitrate and water the plants at the rate of 0.5 liters of fertilizer per bush. To spray flowering strawberries, you can use the same mixture or take a 0.02% solution of zinc sulfate. At the very beginning of flowering, a mullein solution is suitable.

Fertilizing blooming strawberries will increase the number of inflorescences, and hence the number of fruits ...

Feeding strawberries during fruiting

Many gardeners complain that the berries are getting smaller. The first wave of fruiting, as a rule, brings the largest berries, and then the bush gives smaller fruits. You can correct the situation with the help of dressings.

During the fruiting period, after the first harvest, it is necessary to feed the beds. This allows you to grow a better crop.

It is important to remember that you need to apply one of the selected dressings. Fertilizing strawberries during the fruiting period with organic matter, you can get a harmless environmentally friendly crop. Do not use other fertilizers during this period. Nitrates can accumulate in berries, which leads to a deterioration in their quality.

Fertilizers need to be applied on wet soil, after abundant watering or rain.

An important role in the fertilization of garden remontant strawberries is played by organic fertilizing, which are elements of many folk recipes (mullein, chicken droppings, ash, yeast, and others). All of them are harmless to the plant, so there is no need to worry about the quality of your crop. Several recipes:

• Manure-based. For a long time, bird / animal droppings have been used as the main fertilizer. Mullein (dried cow dung) is poured with water (ratio of one to five), put in a warm place for a week to infuse (ferment). Ultimately, the concentrate is diluted (1:10 ratio) and spreads on wet ground (preferably a few hours after watering). Instead of manure, you can use chicken or pigeon droppings - the result will not be worse.

• Ash. This element is rich in potassium, phosphorus, therefore it often acts as a fertilizer for garden strawberries. To prepare the solution, you need to pour two tablespoons of ash with a liter of water, leave for one day. Fertilize garden strawberries it is necessary by watering. Feeding strawberries during ash flowering will provide the grower with increased yields.

• Yeast. Plant care can easily provide a common food product. A pack of this product (1 kg) must be diluted in five liters of water. For feeding the present day solution (0.5 liters) is stirred with liquid (10 liters). It is applied twice a season.

Protecting strawberries from pests

How to process strawberries in spring? Plants often attack spider mites and strawberry mites, aphids, nematodes, and even common ants love to feast on juicy berries. Tested for centuries will come to the rescue folk recipes. An excellent solution against aphids and mold, there will be ash introduced in the fall. Dusting with tooth powder will do a great job with a weevil. Effective in the fight against weevils and garlic infusion... To do this, 150 g of garlic must be soaked in a bucket of water and left to infuse for a day, after which they should be sprayed with plants every evening. Vinegar essence will help drive off ants.

How to feed strawberries during flowering to increase yields

To get the maximum yield from strawberry beds, they need to be fed in a timely manner. During flowering and fruiting, feeding for strawberries is very important. Indeed, it is during this period that the plants intensively consume the resources laid down earlier. And if they are not replenished in time, then the resulting deficiency of nutrients will negatively affect the quality of the berries.

Fertilization technique

In the first year after planting, strawberries do not need feeding. Only after a couple of years it gradually depletes the soil on the site and for the formation of new leaves and ovaries, strawberries are in dire need of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

In spring, root feeding of plants is carried out in 3 stages:

1. When the first leaves appear.
2. At the beginning of flowering.
3. When ovaries appear.

At the beginning of flowering, the soil is fertilized with a rotted mullein or a special complex fertilizer, which includes all necessary for the plant micro- and microelements. At proper care for strawberries, this increases its yield by 1/3.

But nutrition is necessary not only for the roots, but also for the terrestrial part of the plants. For this, foliar dressing is carried out by spraying the leaves.

Spraying is performed on a calm sunny day after watering. For these purposes, nitrogen-containing and organic fertilizers are used. With this method of feeding, an accelerated supply of nutrients occurs. The periods of foliar dressing are similar to the root ones.

When feeding strawberries in spring and summer, the following rules must be observed:

• Flowering plants processed 1 time, choosing any suitable method and composition for this.
• Better to opt for organic over chemical fertilizers as they are absolutely harmless.
• Fertilize moist soil, it is good to do this after rain or watering.
• When root processing, the fertilizer must not be allowed to enter the plant itself.
• Overfeeding is dangerous for strawberries. This is especially true for organics with a high nitrogen content. In this case, the green part of the bush grows to the detriment of the berry harvest. Sometimes, when the doses of fertilizers are exceeded, the plants may die.
• Different trace elements do not affect plants equally quickly. The fast-acting ones include magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, nitrogen. And manganese, calcium, copper enter them more slowly. It is important to know so as not to overdo it with feeding strawberries with different preparations.
• Chlorine solutions of strawberries are contraindicated.

Fertilizer for strawberries - how to increase yields in simple ways?

To make strawberry fertilizer beneficial, experienced gardeners advise not to neglect important rules and adhere to agricultural cultivation techniques, both in spring and summer, and in autumn. Fertilizing for garden strawberries is necessary immediately after waking up, during flowering, during the formation of berries, and also after harvest, when the buds of the future harvest will be laid. To get it right, read the entire article ...

Fertilizer for strawberries in spring - boosting growth!

The long cold winter is over, the plants have used up all their nutrient reserves, and now the deficit needs to be replenished. Before fertilizing strawberries in the spring, you need to prepare them for this process - remove the beds and process.

Plants of the first year of life do not require feeding, if they were produced in the spring of this year and were fertilized, because has not yet spent the fertilizing introduced into the planting holes. The crop of the following seasons needs to be fertilized in order to get a generous and tasty harvest. Feeding strawberries is divided into three stages - fertilizing strawberries in spring, after fruiting, when planting in summer or autumn, when preparing strawberry bushes for winter.

It should be noted right away that each gardener independently determines the need for feeding strawberries, taking into account the previously applied fertilizers, the condition and growth of plants, as well as the structure and composition of the soil.

On a note: garden strawberries oversaturated with fertilizers in spring will give good foliage, but in this case it is not worth waiting for a rich harvest of berries, because an excess of trace elements will not only lead to the active growth of the green part, but will also be a good help in order to appear. In simple words, the plant will need to get rid of unnecessary elements, therefore, internal processes will be disrupted, the immunity and protective functions of strawberries will decrease, and the result of the great efforts of the summer resident is a plant disease.

Timely applied fertilizer will be a good stimulator of strawberry growth, and it is imperative to feed both the aerial part and the roots, i.e. carry out foliar and root feeding. Before fertilizing strawberries after winter, you need to make sure that the soil is dry and that the bushes are restored after winter. If you know how to clean the garden and what to do next, let's go directly to top dressing.

The first strawberry fertilizer needs to be applied after the cultivation is finished, this will be the beginning of a new season of the battle for the harvest. For many summer residents, feeding strawberries with iodine has become popular, but not everyone knows what the effect of such feeding will be, let's figure it out.

First of all, an antiseptic protects the plant from disease. Strawberry bushes treated with iodine practically do not suffer from gray rot and powdery mildew... For ten liters of water, take 7-10 drops of iodine, and treat the plants with the prepared solution on a leaf from a watering can with a shower head immediately after cleaning the garden, and in order not to burn the leaves, observe the dosage.

Processing strawberries with iodine should be carried out in cloudy weather, or in the evening, when there is no bright sun, so as not to burn the leaf plates. There should be 2-3 such treatments with iodine before the berries appear. And remember, in this case, iodine acts more as a prophylactic agent against diseases.

5-7 days after spraying with iodine, strawberries are fed with urea, which is diluted with water in a ratio of 1 tablespoon to 10 liters of water. Pour 0.5 liters of the finished solution under each plant. In addition to urea, of course, they are used, which are prepared with their own hands and certainly do not contain any chemistry.

If everything is done correctly and on time, nitrogen-containing fertilizers are used, then the leaves and shoots will grow well, you will get a delicious bright red berry in summer. With a lack of nitrogen, the leaves will turn pale, the berries will be born small, and the taste will be poor. Also, in early spring, strawberries can be fed with the fertilizer Gumi-Omi Berries, Health for strawberries and raspberries, Bona Forte, OMU Universal, Humat +7, Robin Green, etc.

On a note: you need to start feeding strawberries when the soil warms up to + 8 ° C; at lower temperatures, the roots of garden strawberries do not absorb fertilizers.

Feeding strawberries during flowering can be done with the following homemade fertilizer, which is used by experienced gardeners - take 1 glass of wood ash, pour 2 liters of boiling water, let it brew for two hours, then add 1.5-2 grams of potassium permanganate here, 2.5- 3 g of boric acid, 10 drops of iodine and pour 10 liters of warm, settled (not chlorinated) water and stir thoroughly. Pour 1 cup (250 ml) of this fertilizer under each strawberry bush.

In addition to the above fertilizers, summer residents are very successful in feeding strawberries with yeast, which is prepared like this - they take a pack of fresh store yeast (or a bag of dry, 10 g), put it in a 3-liter jar, and add 100 g of granulated sugar (1/2 faceted glass) and all this substance is poured with settled water to the shoulders of the jar, so that during fermentation it does not overflow over the top.

Mix the yeast solution well and leave in a greenhouse or other warm place for a day or two until fermentation subsides. When the fermentation process is over, 1 cup (250 ml) of the resulting concentrated mixture must be diluted in 10 liters of water and the finished solution is poured into 0.5 liters under one bush.

Feeding strawberries with yeast should be carried out no more than 3 times during the entire growing season. Fertilize strictly on wet soil, i.e. first you need to water the garden well! And remember, when using yeast-based fertilizers, it is necessary to replenish the potassium reserves in the soil, which is very strongly absorbed from the soil by strawberries (feed with wood ash after 14-15 days, sprinkling in the aisles or using a liquid solution). Fertilizer for strawberries, applied in spring, activates growth and leads to a decent harvest.

Feeding strawberries during fruiting - prolonging the harvest

With the onset of summer, the question for novice summer residents is again - what should be the feeding of strawberries during fruiting? To improve fruiting, to prolong the collection of fruits, the plant must be fed again.

At the beginning of summer, the culture forms the first fruits, therefore potassium is especially needed. As soon as the first berries begin to appear, wood ash is introduced between the rows (1 handful under a bush, or 0.5 liters of liquid solution - pour 2 cups with boiling water, leave for 2-3 hours and dilute with 10 liters of warm water).

If you use mineral fertilizers, then strawberries during fruiting can be given potassium monophosphate (1 tablespoon / 10 l.), Kemira Lux or Universal, which must be diluted strictly according to the instructions. Fruiting lasts about two to three weeks, but even at this time, the plant needs additional substances.

Feeding strawberries with a solution of mullein in water (1:15) is the most versatile, and you can also use a solution of chicken manure (1:10). In addition, fertilizers that were used in early spring can also be applied and alternated during fruiting.

Do not forget that after harvesting, the strawberries need to be fed, loosened and watered, because it is after harvesting the berries that leaves, roots begin to actively grow, next year's buds are laid, so you should not throw the garden until autumn. And if you decide to mow the strawberry leaves, then do it immediately after the bushes have borne fruit, otherwise the plants may not have time to fully recover.

How to fertilize strawberries when planting?

Spring, summer and the first half of autumn are the time when strawberries are planted, it depends on the season how to fertilize the strawberries when planting. Fertilizers that can be used in the spring cannot always be used in the fall.

Spring planting considered successful, exactly like autumn and summer. The land, before planting, must be dug up, watered and fertilized. In order to bear fruit and grow normally, the bushes need mineral and organic fertilizers. Complex preparations, which contain nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, have a greater effect, the use of manure and humus is successful. Three types of fertilizer mixtures are especially popular:

1. A bucket of soil, the same amount of compost and manure, 1 liter of wood ash;
2. A bucket of humus, 20 g of potassium salt, 40 g of superphosphate;
3. Compost bucket, 40 g superphosphate, 0.5 l of ash.

For a garden bed of 10 m² you will need 2-2.5 buckets of mixture. If planting is carried out in the spring, then you need to add urea to the mixture, or immediately after planting on the garden bed, feed it with green liquid fertilizer. When planting in summer, it is better to use a complete complex fertilizer with a low nitrogen content; in the fall, nitrogen is not given so that the plants have time to grow stronger before the arrival of frost, and not grow lush foliage in the winter.

Fertilizing strawberries in autumn - preparing bushes for winter

Fertilization for strawberries in the fall plays an important role. In which month to do this depends not only on the variety, but also climatic conditions cultivation, because in the Kuban at the end of September it is still quite hot, and in the Urals and Siberia, the Leningrad region, the Moscow region, prolonged rains may begin and the temperature drops quite low, so the time for fertilizing strawberries in the fall will differ.

Each gardener decides for himself when to feed the strawberries in September or October, taking into account the weather conditions and plant health. Do not forget, when the soil temperature drops below +8 ° C, strawberry roots stop absorbing nutrients.

In the fall, strawberries must be given potassium and phosphorus so that the plants grow stronger for winter. Agronomists still recommend using mineral complexes in the autumn, and not home-made compounds, in addition, feeding in accordance with the instructions will not harm either plants or humans.

Many summer residents use Autumn fertilizer, Fertika, etc. instead of using minerals. Instead of using minerals, you can do the following - loosen the garden bed, add humus or compost under the bushes to close the roots for the winter and pour 1 tbsp under each plant. wood ash and mix with earth.

Use a liquid fertilizer based on ash (pour 2 cups with a liter of boiling water, leave for 2-3 hours and add 10 liters of water), pouring at least 0.5 liters under the bush. The ash solution can still be used as a foliar dressing in the fall, you need to water the strawberry bed well from a watering can with a shower head.

And remember, respected summer residents and gardeners, no matter how many options for fertilizing and fertilizing for strawberries exist, agronomists recommend feeding ordinary garden strawberries 3-4 times per season, and feeding remontant varieties every 7-10 days. Good harvests to you!
