Selection of seedlings
Seedlings are bought in nurseries after inoculation. The optimum age of planting material suitable for growing in all regions of the country is 1-2 years. These seedlings quickly get used to different climatic conditions.
Landing features
Plants must be tied up
Since autumn, a landing site is being prepared. The dimensions of the holes should be 80x80 cm. The soil is fed by pouring a bucket of compost or peat into the hole. In the spring, a few days before planting, a drainage system is installed. This allows air and nutrients to circulate better within the root system. A mound is made on 2/3 of the hole, into which the roots of the seedling are introduced. The rest is sprinkled with a fertile topsoil and poured with 20 liters of warm water. Due to the intensive growth of the plant, a support is installed next to it and a garter is carried out to it. The space between rows should be 3 m, and the distance between the bushes should be 2 m.
Care advice
- Watering is carried out when there is no scorching sun. Pour 20 liters of water at room temperature under each bush. It is better to dig a circular hole around the seedling and use it to water. So the water is evenly distributed over the entire area of the root system. Before watering, all weeds are removed and the soil is loosened. This allows moisture to penetrate better into the soil.
- Top dressing is carried out during the period of intense flowering and the formation of bunches. In the spring, before budding begins, watering is carried out with a solution of potassium nitrate (20 g per 7 liters of water).This will increase the quality and quantity of the ovaries. In the summer, when the fruits begin to form, watering is carried out with a superphosphate solution (30 g per 5 liters of water). This helps the fruit to fill with a pleasant taste and be more juicy. 15 liters of solutions are poured under each plant.
- Pruning should be done as needed. When dry patches or signs of disease appear on the plants, the affected shoots should be removed. Every year, in the spring, the eyes are trimmed on the shoots. After the procedure, up to 8 of them should remain. This helps the plant to be unloaded, which increases the yield. A large number of eyes is fraught with the fact that the crops will not have enough substances for pouring, and the taste of the berries will be less pronounced.
