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

When choosing a location, it is recommended to give preference to plots of land well sheltered from the wind, sunny, with the location of groundwater no closer than 70 cm from the surface. The soil is well prepared in advance. It is important that the acidity indicators are close to neutral - 5.2-5.5 pH, and the soil itself is light and fertile.

In case of excessive acidification during digging, it is necessary to add wood ash, lime, dolomite flour to the ground. At the same time, fertilizers are laid - 25 g of double superphosphate and 2.5 g of potash mixtures per 1 m2 of garden area are enough. After that, the site is left for 3-4 weeks.

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

The variety does not require pollination assistance. Peduncles on the bushes are formed according to the male and female types.

Top dressing

Krapo 10 requires particularly careful maintenance during flowering and fruiting. The duration of this process implies the application of fertilizers at two-week intervals. The best choice will be the Gaspadar and Gumi-Omi complexes. Nitrogen fertilizing should be carried out no more than 2 times during the season, at a concentration not higher than 1: 10 for cow manure, 1: 25 for poultry manure. The liquid solution is applied in an amount of not more than 0.5 liters per 1 bush by the root method.

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

Krapo 10 belongs to varieties with high winter hardiness. Easily adapts to growing conditions. Despite this, in regions with average winter temperatures below -10 degrees, it is necessary to provide the bushes with a reliable shelter or grow them as a pot culture. Plants are transferred to the room with the onset of cold weather. The air temperature for cessation of fruiting should be maintained at +2 degrees and below.

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

When breeding the Krapo 10 variety, breeders took into account many disadvantages, initially providing it with resistance to most common diseases. Low resistance is observed only in relation to powdery mildew. As a preventive measure, it is worth considering the early spring treatment of the beds with Horus or its analogues. During periods of heavy rainfall, it is recommended to spray the bushes with a weak solution of manganese.

To reduce the risk of infection by insect pests, it is necessary to place beds with Krapo 10 strawberries away from the places where bushes of raspberries, currants and other berry crops grow.

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 main methods for obtaining new plants are generative and vegetative. Usually, those layers that give adult shoots are enough. Also, if necessary, you can collect and sow seeds. This is done from February to March, the seedlings are transferred to a permanent place from July to September or in April-May.

Many gardeners choose not to trim the mustache from mother plants during the season. In this case, even on not fully rooted rosettes, peduncles are formed, increasing the likelihood of an increase in crop volumes. This does not affect the condition of the mother bush.

When multiplying by division, the bush is cut into several parts. These events are held in spring or autumn. When dividing, a well-developed root system is left on each bush. Before planting, the hole is watered abundantly.

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.
