Breeding history of the variety

The Belrubi strawberry variety was bred in the 70s of the twentieth century. Breeders from France became the authors of the variety. For breeding, the varieties Pocahontas and Red Cote were taken. Strawberries were brought to our country in 1988.

Description of the variety

Belrubi belongs to the versatile medium-ripening strawberry varieties. The variety is self-fertile. Bushes are vigorous, upright, tall and compact. A lot of mustaches are released. Sprawling multi-flowered inflorescences are located on high peduncles at the level of the leaves. Green large leaves are trifoliate, slightly pubescent on the inside. The edges of the leaves are serrated.

Ripening terms

The berries begin to ripen at the end of June, after 3 weeks from the appearance of the first flowers, and continue to do this until the end of July. In good sunlight, the fruits ripen almost simultaneously.

Growing regions

Belrubi strawberries are cultivated in all regions, as they perfectly tolerate both cold and drought. Rosreestr recommends growing the variety in the regions of the North Caucasus. But other regions are also engaged in the cultivation of Belrubi, since the variety is unpretentious to growing conditions.

Berries and their taste

The berries are conical in shape with a pronounced neck, large. The weight of one berry reaches 13-15 g. During ripening, the fruits acquire a bright red hue, the skin becomes glossy. There are many seeds on the fruits, they are slightly sunk into the pulp. Strawberry has a rich strawberry aroma. The taste is high, the taste of the berries is sweet. The flesh is firm and shiny.

Growing features

Agrotechnical care for Belrubi is simple. After the snow melts, it is necessary to view all the bushes and remove the rotten leaves. It is very important to remove dried flowers as well. The land on the plot with strawberries must be periodically loosened, fertilizing before that. Fertilizers with nitrogen content are well suited for this. Once every 2 weeks, you need to huddle the bushes, this will have a good effect on fruiting. The main condition is to leave the core of the bush on the soil surface, otherwise the bushes will begin to rot. It is good to plant strawberries in an area where lentils, wheat, garlic, rye previously grew. Under no circumstances should you plant in an area where potatoes or tomatoes have grown.

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

For planting, choose an area with good sunlight. This place must be protected from winds and drafts. Another very important condition when choosing a site is that the groundwater must be at a depth of at least 70 cm. A slightly acidic soil is needed for planting a crop. It is good to plant on loam and sandy loam soils, they contain many nutrients. Before planting, the soil is dug up, all weeds are removed. The soil is fertilized with organic fertilizers. Humus and compost are optimal. Then make holes, the distance between which should be at least 20 cm, the distance between the rows - at least 30 cm.

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

Very good quality of the Belrubi variety - self-fertility. White beautiful flowers collected in inflorescences attract many insects, which help the culture to pollinate.

Top dressing

At the beginning of spring, the first feeding is carried out. An infusion of 1 kg of mullein and 10 liters of water is perfect for this. Poultry droppings are also well suited, the solution is made from 20 liters of water and 1 kg of material. One bush counts 500 ml of solution. Potash fertilizers are used during the flowering period. A tablespoon of the substance is consumed in a bucket of water. Everything is stirred, and each bush is watered with 500 ml of solution.

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

The variety is quite winter hardy. Where there is a lot of snow, no shelter is needed. In the southern regions, where the snow cover is insufficient, cover with a thin layer of compost.

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

Resistance to diseases and pests is high, but requires preventive spraying. The procedure should be carried out in the spring, while the flower buds have not yet formed. For this, a 1% solution of Bordeaux liquid is used. To protect against insects, marigolds are planted in the area with strawberries, flowers scare them away with their aroma, and wormwood sprigs are also used.

Strawberries are often subject to many dangerous diseases that can seriously undermine their condition.Among the most common are powdery mildew, gray mold, brown spot, anthracnose, and verticillosis. Before buying a variety, you need to inquire about its disease resistance.

Reproduction

The variety reproduces in several ways. The simplest of these is mustache breeding. For this, a mustache with well-formed rosettes is left, and a small container with nutrient mixtures is placed under them, the rest of the mustache is removed. After rooting, the mustache is cut from the young plant.

The second option is dividing the bush. This is also an uncomplicated breeding method. Large bushes are dug up and divided into several small bushes, the main thing is that there is enough root system for the development of a new plant.

The third option is seed reproduction. Reproduction in this way is a very long process, so it is almost never used.

Strawberries or garden strawberries multiply very easily. The most common way to obtain planting material is to grow young plants from vegetative shoots - whiskers. Seedlings are also obtained by dividing the bush.
