Strawberry varieties for the Urals

Any varietal types of garden strawberries need proper care, which consists of a number of agronomic activities.

How to prepare the planting soil

The most suitable time for planting bushes in the ground is the second half of July. The planting material will take root and will not burn out under the sun's rays if you plant it in a new place in cool weather or in the evening. The soil must be prepared in advance: two months before the start of planting work.

The selected open area should be distinguished by an even relief, as well as abundantly illuminated by the sun's rays - only in such conditions the shrub will give a bountiful harvest, and also will not be exposed to diseases of the foliage or root system.Planting in clay or sandy soil will lead to root rot, since these types of soil are characterized by poor air exchange, which leads to stagnation of the liquid. The acidity level of the soil should not exceed the average. Also, the planting area is cleared of all weeds, after which repeated digging of the earth is carried out.

Planting a strawberry bush

Important!The first step is to start preparing seedlings. Using copper sulfate, insects are removed from the root system, after which the roots should be leveled.

Strawberry varieties for the Middle Strip

Shrubs of early or mid-early varieties are grown at a close distance from each other - no more than 15 centimeters, subject to the row spacing of no more than 65 centimeters. When growing late varieties, the minimum distance between bushes is 20 centimeters.

Note. To prevent the bush itself from yielding small berries, it should be removed after the third year of fruiting.

How to water strawberries

Watering young shrubs with root water will erode the soil, making the plant unable to take root in a new area. It is best to irrigate young bushes using a garden sprayer. Abundant watering should be carried out within four days. After fixing the root system, the number of watering works is reduced to once a week, preventing the formation of cracks on the surface of the earth.

How to fertilize

The first fertilization of the soil is carried out after the first fruiting, for which all the useful trace elements introduced before planting are spent. Fertilize strawberries with ammonia or superphosphate no later than mid-August. The bush that has not yet fruited is fertilized in the next spring season.

Note! Adding soil to the roots will lead to a blockage of oxygen and disruption of air exchange.

Treatment of diseases and preventive measures

Most often, strawberries are affected by the following diseases:

  • Brown or white spots on the leaves, stopping the growth of the shrub and facilitating the crushing of the berries. You can cure this disease by spraying the bush with a soap-based solution. A preventive measure is to carry out this procedure in the spring and winter seasons for all plantings;
  • Powdery mildew, in which leaves curl and become brown, followed by damage to the stem. A plaque appears on the fruits, which leads to their decay. The solution to this problem is the treatment with a sulfonamide solution;
  • Gray rot, which has a fungal nature of the disease. You can stop the development of the lesion by removing diseased berries. Before the transition to the flowering stage of planting, they are processed using copper sulfate;
  • A strawberry mite that destroys young foliage on a bush. The symptoms of the initial stage of the disease are the appearance of black dots with subsequent blackening.

On a note!You can cure a strawberry mite by spraying it with a karbofos solution, the temperature of which should be slightly above room temperature.
