A variety from Holland called Furor was highly appreciated by Russian gardeners. It boasts strong immunity and a stable harvest.
Description of the variety
The bushes are neat. The leaves are bright green in color and have a rounded-oval shape. There are teeth along the edges. The power of growth is strong. A small number of whiskers are formed. Peduncles are long, with a large number of primordia. One of the features of the variety is the rapid growth of peduncles. Ripe berries lean towards the ground.
Ripening terms
Repaired strawberries bear fruit throughout the growing season. Fruiting begins in May and lasts until October, as long as the weather is warm. Ripening period is early.
Yield
Due to the high yield, from 1 to 1.5 kilograms of berries are harvested from one bush. The marketability and transportability of the crop is high. Even a novice gardener without experience can get a rich and stable harvest.
Note: ripe berries are stored for a long time, retaining their shape and taste.
Berries and their taste
The fruit is a rich scarlet color. Each large berry weighs 35 grams, but there are also larger specimens. The shape is elongated-conical, but at the end of the season it can change. The cervix is often absent. The surface of the strawberry is smooth and glossy. The pulp is juicy, tight, there is no crunch. The color is red.
The taste is harmonious and balanced, with a pleasant sourness. The gastronomic quality remains unchanged until the end of the season. The aroma is pleasant strawberry.
Note: To keep the berries tasty, you need to regularly add nutrients to the soil.
Growing features
Plants with a closed root system are planted throughout the year. If the root system is open, planting is carried out in autumn, spring or summer (from late July to early August). When planting plants in the summer, they will have time to settle down in a new place and the next year they will please with a high yield.
Moisture stagnation must not be allowed. Strawberries prefer fertile and loose soil, with a neutral acidity. And also berries need sunlight.
Optimal landing pattern:
leave 25 centimeters between the bushes, and 60 centimeters between the rows;
plants are staggered;
the maximum number of rows in one bed is 4;
before planting, each hole is moistened, otherwise the plant will settle.
Drip irrigation is widespread. It will irrigate the soil moderately while maintaining a comfortable environment. Even a short-term drought can negatively affect the quality of the crop. It is customary to water the furor more often than other varieties of garden strawberries. When grown outdoors, strawberries are watered every day for the first 10 days. After this period, irrigation is reduced to 2 times a week. In greenhouses and greenhouses, the soil is moistened as needed.
It is advisable to use warm and settled water. Water in the evening or early morning. To reduce the number of waterings, the soil is covered with mulch (sawdust, straw or needles). The soil should be loosened regularly. Do this after watering. So the soil is saturated with oxygen, which the root system needs.
Weeds significantly reduce yields. Therefore, they must be removed regularly. The beds must always be clean.In order to prevent weeds from filling the plantation, the site can be covered with dense agrofibre. And also he will not let the berries touch the ground.
Site selection and soil preparation
The ideal place for growing strawberries is a well-lit and spacious area. Garden strawberry prefers sandy loam and loamy soil, with a neutral acidity. The territory is prepared in advance. It needs to be cleaned of excess plants, debris and roots. It is also recommended to feed the soil with organic matter. A compost bucket (can be replaced with humus) and a glass of ash are used per square meter of the plot.
Instead of ash, mineral dressings are often used: potassium sulfate (120 grams), superphosphate (100 grams). Organic compounds are applied about 3-4 weeks before planting the seedlings.
Pollination
Flowers of this variety of both sexes. However, in order for pollination to be as productive as possible, it is recommended to plant several varieties in one area.
Top dressing
Garden strawberries need regular feeding. Ready-made complex mixtures for berry crops are suitable for fertilization. They also use organics. Before using poultry droppings, it is diluted in water in a ratio of 1 to 20, otherwise the plant can be burned. The mullein is bred 1 to 10. The first time the bushes are fertilized in early spring, then after picking the first berries and at the end of summer.
High efficiency is demonstrated by the infusion of nettle or wormwood. It will enrich plants with useful microelements and strengthen their immunity. For its preparation, two-thirds of the green mass is poured with settled water and left for 3-4 days. The composition is diluted in a ratio of 1 to 10, 0.5 liters of liquid is used for each bush.
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
In southern regions, strawberries do not need to be covered in winter.If plantations are located in the north, they are protected with a modern material called spunbond. The types on sale may vary in cost and thickness. It is not recommended to use the film, as it impairs air exchange.
Diseases and pests
Furor garden strawberry is resistant to infections that affect fruits and roots. Bushes are not afraid of gray mold and powdery mildew. Plants do not get sick if they are grown in ideal conditions, and since it is difficult to create such conditions, preventive measures will not be superfluous.
Plants are treated with Bordeaux liquid (1-2%) in early spring or late autumn. And also any other solution with copper in the composition is suitable.
The following drugs are widely used:
when forming peduncles - "Revus Top" or "Quadris Top";
after the end of flowering - "Switch";
at the end of the first wave of fruiting - "Quadris Top";
after re-flowering - "Switch";
at the end of the second harvest - "Orvego";
after the third wave of flowering - "Switch";
additionally apply "Vertimek" after each use of the "Switch".
Strawberries are often subject to many dangerous diseases that can seriously undermine its 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 most common way to propagate a plantation is with a mustache. Lateral shoots are rooted only in powerful bushes, which are 2-3 years old. It is recommended to root the rosettes that are as close as possible to the mother plants. Due to the fact that Furor forms a small number of whiskers, all processes are used.
A simple option to quickly increase the number of bushes is dividing. Work is carried out only with a sharp and disinfected knife. Each new plant should have several full-fledged leaves and a formed root system. New plants will be able to harvest the next season.
Reproduction using seed is practically not used. This method is rarely chosen if there is no alternative. In regions with a southern climate, seeds are immediately planted in open ground. In other cases, they are germinated in special containers.
