Strawberry - how many sweets and pleasure arises in the mouth when mentioning this berry. It is grown in land in various latitudes of our country. Let's discuss today, for what reasons the strawberry begins to dry during the period when berries have already appeared and what can be done with this problem, how to solve it.
Causes of drying Yagoda
Strawberry can not be attributed to capricious berries, but at the same time, to say that she is not needed, it is also impossible. It is necessary to understand that strawberries need to be mandatory in a timely manner and regularly:
- water
- destroy weeds, grass and other extra "elements" of the land plot on which it grows
- fertilize the earth and root strawberry system
If the garden is watching the strawberry begins to dry, it is a sign that something with a plant is not so, especially if the drying period has begun when the fruits appeared on the bush branches. If this happened to your strawberry, immediately start looking for the reason for which it is happening, and only after that already exit from the current situation.
In order to find out what the root of the problem and what exactly was the reason for drying the berry bush, it is necessary to carefully and carefully inspect the area and the strawberry bushes themselves:
- If you have noticed that the land on the garden is too dry (hide it with some tool or just with your hand), it means that you should pour it more often and after each watering is mandatory to cut the earth to make the root system of the bush breathe.
- If you have seen some bugs on the bush or small insects, most likely it is pests, the presence of which caused the "drought" of the bush. If you saw the web between the bushes - the reason is the same, pest.
- If you find some yellow and dry stains on strawberry leaves, the likelihood that this is a serious illness or infection is large enough.
- It happens that the activities of the bear leads to drying the bush, and the work of the closure, which their activities promptly damage the root system of the berry under consideration.
- It is clear that the drying of strawberry bushes will be logical and natural, if in the yard, which day is already behind the heat, there was no rain for a long time, and no one did not work with watering.
- Keeping plants can also be due to the incorrectly selected land plot on which it grows. It is impossible to plant strawberries in lowlands and places with a high level of dampness.
Detection of causes and solving problems
Singing the bushes of strawberries with berries can in a wide variety of reasons, and weather conditions are not the last of them. As soon as the drought begins, it is logical that the strawberries dries, but if the rains are going - the diseases on the strawberry are beginning to progress that, ultimately leads to drying a bush with fruits.
If the cause was drought and the lack of moisture, it is not difficult to solve this problem at all - you need to water strawberries regularly. Do not pour it. Because it will not lead to anything too good. So, after each irrigation, do not be lazy, and fall the earth. If this is not done, the air to the roots will not arrive, and the pathogenic bacteria will develop very quickly.
Remember that it is necessary to water the strawberry under the root, so as not to burn the sheets, besides, watering is necessary in the evening day. It is advisable to water the strawberry from the watering can, and not from the hoses so that the pressure is small, and water has time, as it should be, absorbed into the ground.
Diseases and infections on the strawberry in the period of cold and dampness are very rapidly developing. It is these factors that are favorable to the operational development of various kinds of diseases, which, ultimately, lead to drying the berry bush.
Among other things, the pests are "devouring" the plant in case the bushes have been planted on the untreated territory, or are transplanted from the plots where there were parasites or diseases. For this reason, before planting a strawberry on a new land plot, it is obligatory to process it, as it should be - get rid of the weeds and "disinfected" the land with special solutions.
Diseases from which strawberry dry out most often:
- gray Gnill
- phytoftor (other cultures on the land plot also suffer from it)
- verticillosis
Each of these diseases has its own features of manifestation and it is necessary to determine. What exactly the plant is sick. After the disease itself is revealed, it will already be possible to acquire a drug that will help to cope with the problem under consideration.
If the drying of strawberry bushes is due to the presence of insects, you need to quickly solve this problem, because insects spoil plants even faster than any infection.
If a web tick was started on the strawberry, you will notice it, because the strawberry will not just dry, but on its stems and leaves there will be a web. In this case, the use of insecticides will be an effective means.
From other insects will help you such as:
- Carbofos.
- Union
- Spark, etc.
If no such signs on the strawberry found, then drying the berries and bushes occurs due to lack of soil, where they grow, nutrient and useful substances. In the event that the gardener is too often and remembered the soil and plants, then drying can occur due to the oversupply of all the beneficial substances that cause the opposite effect due to the large number.
Everything should be done in moderation - and watering, and fertilizer, and processing pesticides, and then the strawberry bushes will not dry and give a rich harvest.
