Vegetable and berry crops require constant care, not only in the fruiting period, but also after it.Care currant after the harvest is reduced to the formation and pruning, fertilizing.Let's take a closer look at these components.
Pruning and shaping
first crop currant seedlings, which 1-2 years, conducted as follows: All the shoots are cut and left each with 2-4 buds.This technique stimulates branching shoots.After pruning proceed to the formation of a bush.
In two, three years from the roots of bushes grow zero branches, called basal shoots.It is the skeleton of a bush, which in the future will be formed all uneven gains.Care currant after harvest includes stimulation of the skeleton, particularly if he is weak.This is done by shortening branches.
have three-, four-bushes left still for 5 strong zero escapes, and the weak are removed again.Tops zero shoots cut back.Thus, the bush is formed for 4-5 years.It will be good if a bush is 2-4 sprigs of every age.Care currant after harvest suggests that the shrubs that grow at a considerable distance and on the well-lit area, and may have more than four branches of different ages.
In forming plants all patients, dried, broken, shading and cut the extra zero growth.Pruning formed bush does not give much trouble: it is necessary to remove only 5-6-year-old branches that have stopped growing, and keep young.With increasing branching annual shoots shortened to five kidneys from the top.Care currant after the harvest each year - it is trimming unproductive, old shoots.They are dark brown, light gains and dry fruiting.
have red currant fruit buds are in a heap on the border of different age increments.The plant gives a lot of annual basal shoots, thickening the skeleton.She is left to replace 3-5 strong gain, the rest are cut to the ground.
Feeding
Care currant bushes - is not only cutting, but also fertilizer.Flower buds of fruit-bearing plants are placed in the previous year.After collecting all the fruit you need to make fertilizer and mulch the soil.Under the black currant every three years, laying up to 15 kg of compost every year - 50 g of superphosphate, 30 g of potassium sulfate.Potassium sulfate can be replaced with 100 grams of ash.Under red currants make 2 times more superphosphate and potassium sulfate.
methods of making such are:
- Traditional - laying the grooves that pull on the projection of the bush.The method gives the depth of the roots of fertilizer, but this technology does not provide a time-consuming even distribution of nutrients.Also, the roots can be damaged berries.
- Surface - fertilizer distribution on the surface, then they are "embedded" rake.The process not labor, but the nutrients can not get to the roots of plants.
Care currant in autumn - providing nutrients.This is achieved by pruning and the formation of the bush, as well as fertilizer.To under the leaves left pests, they completely break off and burn.If the collection of berries are aphids or mites, the plants treated karbofosom (10 l of water per 75 g of agent).
