 Spring is a key period in the growing season and development of strawberries. At this time, thanks to proper care, the plant can be helped to produce a juicy and tasty harvest.
Why is watering important?
Sometimes you can see small, dry or, conversely, too watery strawberries on the market counters. One of the factors that affects the taste and condition of this berry is the correct or incorrect irrigation during the season.
Watering provides the opportunity for the growth and development of strawberries, is a food supplier for them, protects in heat and helps in cold weather. That is why the plant and its yield are directly dependent on appropriate and timely watering.
What you need to know about watering strawberries?
To organize correct and high-quality irrigation of this truly national berry, the following steps must be taken:
- in early spring, immediately after trimming the leaves that disappeared after wintering and loosening the soil, you need to water it abundantly;
- after the snow has melted, you can spill the bed with hot, about 50 ° C, water. When it gets into the ground, it will cool down to 25–30 ° C, so the root system will not suffer, and the pests that hibernated in the soil will die;
- before watering strawberries in early spring, you need to apply organic fertilizers under it, which will create a nutrient medium;
- in the spring it is important to irrigate the berry at least 3-5 times. The first time should be at an early time, the second - for the period before flowering, all the rest - at its fruiting;
- it is very important that when watering, water gets into the soil, and not on the foliage of plants, because when exposed to sunlight it can burn out, and the bush itself can get sick;
- it is better to use only warm and settled water. Too cold or hot liquid can negatively affect the root system of the plant and cause its disease;
- it is useful to use the technology of drip irrigation: this way water will flow through special pipes under each bush, which will allow for optimal soil moisture without harming the plants;
- when cultivating strawberries with the help of "mustaches", you need to remember that such seedlings do not tolerate excess moisture in the soil, so they can wither. The most important thing when watering berry seedlings is not to overdo it.
Thus, in order to obtain a tasty, juicy and aromatic strawberry harvest, it is very important to observe the timeliness and quality of spring watering. By organizing it correctly, it will be possible to get beautiful fruits in summer and healthy seedlings closer to autumn.
