Fertilizers
The flowering period is the time of strawberry planned feeding. For this purpose, we use various solutions, infusions, spray bushes.
Potassium
During the flowering of strawberries needs a lot of potassium. If the plant has a shortage of this element - the tips of the leaves brown. Bustics are feeding with chicken litter, wood ash or potash society. For this make infusions.
- At 10 liters of water, we take the C.L. Potash Selitra, stirring and watering plants.
- Under each bush pour 0.5 liters of solution.
- This composition can also spray strawberries.
Boric acid
- At the initial stage of blossoming, strawberries are well sprayed with a solution of boric acid containing a large number of useful trace elements for good growth.
- After such spraying, the plants become stronger, and the berries are large.
- The solution is prepared at the rate of 1 pinch of boric acid per 1 bucket of water.
- At the beginning of flowering, it is possible to apply a manure solution.
Finished fertilizers
Also, excellent results provide strawberry feeding with industrial preparations. The crop of juicy and healthy fruits increases by 30%.
We are preparing a mixture of the following fertilizers:
- sulfate potassium and permanganate potassium - 2 g
- boric Acid - 1 g
- complex fertilizer
We mix all the ingredients and dissolve in water (volume - 10 l). We carry out plant processing. Especially carefully water the leaves on the reverse side. Thus, plants will be able to absorb the maximum of useful substances.
Sulphate zinc
In the midst of flowering, the bushes of strawberries are sprayed with a solution of zinc sulfate. For such feeding, a 0.2% solution of the substance is prepared.
Yeast
Recently, such feeding has become very popular. It is carried out 2 times in the season.
For the preparation of the composition take:
- fresh pressed yeast - 1 kg
- water - 5 l
We dissolve yeast in water, then the fertilizer is insistent.
Before starting feeding, we divorce the composition again: they jump 0.5 liters of solution and stir in 10 liters of water. The amount of fertilizer for each busta is 0.5 liters. Pour the plant under the root.
You can use dry yeast. For the preparation of infusion we take:
- dry yeast - 1 bag
- sugar - 2 tbsp.
A mixture of yeast and sugar poured warm water, the solution begins to prepare. Next, we dissolve the sugar-yeast mixture in 10 liters of water and we leave for 2 hours, then, proceed to the watering. (1 strawberry bush / 0.5 l feeding).
Nutritional feeding of strawberries in the flowering phase will fill the plants with important substances, will strengthen them. The future crop will be more abundant, and the berries are large and sweet.
