Victoria-berry. How to get a good harvest
Berry Victoria - this is one of the first varieties of garden strawberries, received its name in honor of the Queen of England. The fruits of the plant are very tasty and have an unusual aroma.
Planting of the Victoria is made on a flat area, which should have a slight slope in the west direction. The ridge should be in the most protected from the wind place, so that the air streams do not blow snow from the site in winter, otherwise the plant can simply die. For the cultivation of berries the best suited are sandy loamy humus-rich soils.
Plant the plant in spring or in autumn. For spring planting it is necessary to prepare a plot in the autumn. And if you want to plant a Victoria in autumn, the land is prepared in June. Work on the ridge requires fertilizer to be laid. In order for the plant to develop well in the future, twenty grams of potassium chloride, 25 g of superphosphate, 6 kg of humus and 20 g of ammonium nitrate should be applied per square meter. To further facilitate the care of plants, they should be planted on small ridges in even rows, the height of which should be 10 cm. Plantings are made at a distance of 50-60 centimeters from each other, and the gap between the shoots should be thirty centimeters.
Victoria - a berry, the reproduction of which is performed with the help of mustaches, appearing in the middle of summer. The shoots contain nodes from which the roots and leaves of the strawberry appear. The most qualitative for reproduction are sockets, which are located near the mother's bush. It is best to use a mustache, which is taken from biennial plants. When the outlet has 4 leaves, it should be separated from the common plant and planted in the ridge. To have a better mustache, they must be digged with a lump of soil and immediately transferred to previously prepared holes (holes).
Victoria - a berry, making special requirements for watering. If you make regular agrotechnical work to preserve moisture, perform timely loosening of the soil, mulch the plant, cover it with snow in the winter, produce high-quality weeding, then the strawberries will grow and without additional moistening. However, watering (up to 10 times per season) will allow you to get more vitamin products.
To ensure that the Victoria berry is not contaminated with sulfur rot, the soil on the ridge should be covered with wood shavings, dry moss or straw after the end of the flowering period. Repeated surface coating is carried out with peat or grain waste. The thickness of the layer of mulch should be at least 5-10 cm. When working, it must be ensured that the leaves of the plant are not covered. After harvesting around the berry bushes, loosening of the soil is performed. If the roots are bared, then the berry should be bored. Getting a good crop from the bed is possible only with regular weeding.
Victoria should be treated in a timely manner against pests and diseases. A week before the beginning of flowering, we treat against weevils, for this use the "Inta-vir" or other preparations against insects. Before blooming, spraying with iodine solution (10 liters - 10 ml) or trichodermine is used to prevent gray rot. If the summer is rainy, then it is recommended to repeat the treatment.
