Boric acid for strawberries - only facts

Ortoborny or boric acid (powder) is a combination of boron and hydrogen with a molecular layered lattice. Such a link makes it possible to supply a plant with different trace elements, that is, to influence its development. The role of boron:

• Helps cell division, ensures the formation of the apparent and side roots, the rapid extension of the green mass.
• Enhances the extrusion of the top kidneys, sockets, activates the release of the mustache.
• Participates in the processing of carbohydrates and movement of sugar to leaves, twigs, buds, bones.
• It synthesizes phytohormones that regulate the growth of plants, lift the immunity and reduce the level of accumulation of toxic substances.

Boric acid for strawberries - Spring-summer feeding

Processing the berry of the acid solution starts early in spring and end in autumn.

Tip: Dilute the powder in the proportions below and carry out the processing of bushes only after a good stratum of the beds.

• Dissolve in a bucket (8 l) of warm water 2 g of boric acid. Sweep the resulting chopping solution under the root, trying not to hurt the leaves.
• At the beginning of the summer, when the flowers are stretched out, carry out the extraordinate feeder (spraying), collecting five grams of substance in 10 liters of water. Fill the sprayer with liquid and treat the berry on the green cone.
• During flowering, adopt the bushes under the root of the ash solution:

1. Pour a glass of ash in a bucket, pour 2.5 liter boiling water there. Let you swell 2 hours.

Boric acid for strawberries - lack of boron

For annual fruiting, even healthy plants need a bore, and if his bushes "do not donate", especially since. It is possible to determine the hunger of the berry by its modified parts:

• Old leaflets are crushed (corrugated), on young - a light brown border is formed, after some time the leaves are yellow and dry.
• Flowers are enlarged, and the petals are thinned by changing the white color on the pale pink and gradually die away. Roots (if you pull out and see) are unevenly thicken, become trigger.
• Berries are deformed, made by clouds, and as if crumpled at the tips, and the taste is coarse, sour-sweet with a mold aftertaste.

Boric acid for strawberries - a lot of boron

The overabundance of boron is harmful to strawberries, so before you feed the berries, get acquainted with the signs of his surplus.

• The surface of the top tier of the leaves becomes glossy, as if an amazed with vegetable oil.
• The lower sheets take the dome form: the edges are bend inside, and the middle rises.
• Bustache dries partially, the twigs are made thinner and the clocking sound is published.

So, the use of orthoboric acid on the berry is the justified measure, as the acid stimulates growth, strengthens the flowerons, increases the number of barriers, and therefore the yield of strawberries.
