They especially highlight the unusual taste and aroma of berries, suitable not only for eating, but also for freezing or selling. You can get a decent harvest for several years only if all the nuances of planting and growing are observed.

Description of the variety

The ground part of Asia strawberry is voluminous, spreading, with an average number of leaves. They are small, bright green in color and slightly wrinkled in structure, erect. The size of the root system corresponds to the ground part. The formation of the whiskers is not strong, but the peduncles are large.

Ripening terms

Variety Asia refers to medium early plants. Fruiting lasts 3 weeks from the end of May or the first half of June.

Yield

Strawberry Asia bears fruit for 4 years. For each period, up to 1.2 kg of the crop is removed from one bush. Fruiting does not decrease after each growing season.

Berries and their taste

The fruits are large, weighing from 20 to 40 g, but there are also specimens in 90 g. The berries are similar to a flattened cone and have a bright red color. The taste is harmonious, sweet and sour, with hints of strawberries.

The flesh of the berries is dense, without voids. This allows not only to use them fresh, but also to transport them over long distances.

Growing features

The Asia variety is planted at a distance of 40-45 cm between bushes in the second half of spring or late summer. In any case, fruiting will begin only next season. Before planting, the soil must be treated with copper sulfate with lime.

The variety can withstand short-term drought, but it is better not to allow it. On hot days, strawberries are watered 3 times, 2.8 liters per plant. It is best to water it pointwise under the roots. After each watering, the soil is loosened to prevent crust formation. Because of it, the roots do not receive enough air and moisture.

Bushes are not planted in beds where flowers, solanaceous and buttercups previously grew. You can sow strawberries only after 10 years. Neighbors such as legumes, parsley, radishes, and others work well.

When and how to plant strawberries so that they bring a rich harvest is a question that novice gardeners often ask themselves. The berries can be planted in the ground in spring, summer and autumn. Each season has its own characteristics of planting.
Strawberries are the most beloved and popular berry in our gardens. Even in the smallest plots, there will always be a place for it, since every year there are more and more unexpected and original solutions for its cultivation. Strawberries are grown in the form of a carpet, rows, nests, in addition to many different original options. Everyone chooses their own way depending on the area of ​​the site and its design.
Watering strawberries, like any other garden crop, should be in compliance with all the necessary recommendations. During the fruiting period, including the ripening of the fruits, the amount of moisture should be sufficient for the harvest to be a decent amount, and the berries are tasty and aromatic.If you neglect watering, or water little and not enough, then the strawberries can dry out. With excessive moisture, the berries can rot.
Speaking of pruning strawberries, most often it is the removal of leaves on fertile bushes that is meant. This is done to partially rejuvenate the plant, to get rid of damaged, diseased leaves, to prevent bacterial and fungal infections, to reduce the number of harmful insects.

Site selection and soil preparation

Strawberries of the Asia variety are planted on a flat illuminated surface. Too high beds contribute to the burning of leaves in the sun. Low - the accumulation of excess moisture and plant disease. In addition, it is better to arrange the beds in the direction from north to south. This way you can achieve uniform sunlight.

Before planting, the soil is pre-prepared. It is dug up and the roots of the weeds are removed. The earth is fertilized with a pre-prepared solution from:

  • 20 liters of humus;

  • 5 liters of sand or rotten sawdust;

  • 50 g of urea;

  • 0.5 l of ash.

The mixture is distributed over the surface of the soil and dug up to a depth of one shovel bayonet. Digging up the soil should be done 2 weeks before planting in August or September. For spring - from autumn.

When planting, the land is well mulched. This eliminates the need for constant digging and weeding.

The soil for strawberries should be saturated with organic matter. The plant grows best on light loamy or sandy loam soil. Black soil and gray forest soil are also excellent for cultivation. It is undesirable to plant strawberries on clay soil.

Pollination

Strawberry Asia begins flowering in the second half of May. Insects are the best pollinator. If the strawberry is grown in a greenhouse, another variety is planted nearby. He will act as a pollinator.

Top dressing

During the growing season, the necessary fertilizers are applied to the Asia strawberries:

  • after planting, the plants are fed with nitrogen substances to increase the volume of foliage;

  • before the appearance of flowers, the soil is fertilized with a solution of urea and ash;

  • after a period of fruiting, the land is fed with a mixture of potassium and boron;

  • before wintering, humus is distributed on the ground, you can also add a superphosphate solution.

Fertilizers must be applied exactly according to the instructions. Overdose can provoke illness.

One of the important techniques in strawberry care is feeding. Regular fertilization guarantees a rich harvest. There are several different ways to feed strawberries, and each of them is designed for a specific period of plant development. During flowering, fruiting and after it, feeding should be different.

Frost resistance and the need for shelter

Strawberries Asia are covered only at a temperature of -17 ° C. Use straw and plant branches. And it is also possible to install arcs with stretched heat-insulating material over the beds.

In order for strawberries to delight us with an abundance of large and sweet berries next year, they need to be properly prepared for winter. The set of measures for preparing strawberries for the cold includes: pruning, watering, feeding, loosening, pest control, mulching and shelter.

Diseases and pests

  • powdery mildew - before the buds appear, the plants are treated with a special solution (20 g of copper sulfate and laundry soap per bucket of water);

  • anthracnose - according to the instructions they are treated with "Horus";

  • chlorosis - the soil is sprinkled with Heterophos granules and watered.

For the prevention of diseases, plants are treated with garlic tincture, the soil is watered with potassium permanganate in spring and autumn. The roots of the seedlings are soaked for half an hour in a fungicide solution.

The most common pest is the mite. To combat it, plants are treated with colloidal sulfur in early spring. And also it is worth avoiding weevils and strawberry nematodes. In order to prevent the damage to the bushes by diseases or pests, all decayed or infected bushes must be dug up.

Reproduction

Already in August, the rosette takes root, and it is separated from the main bush. The seedling is sent to a specially prepared bed, and next spring it is moved to the rest of the plants.

2. Dividing the bush

The strongest and healthiest plant is chosen. It is dug out of the ground and divided into several parts with roots on each. Slices are sprinkled with activated carbon and the separated parts are planted on a common bed.

3. Seeds

The rarest way to breed strawberries in Asia. The seeds are soaked in warm water, laid out on cheesecloth and sent to a cold place for 2-3 days. During this time, a special soil is prepared: a mixture of turf, peat and sand. It is placed on the bottom of the container, covered with snow and the seeds are placed on top. The container is covered with a transparent lid and sent to the refrigerator.

After two weeks, the container is moved to a warm room. The sprouts appear after 7 days. When several leaves grow, the seedlings are distributed in different pots. You can plant plants in the garden after the end of the frost.
