Growing features
It is not necessary to shade the place where the seedlings are planted. Drought tolerance - medium. Bushes form little whiskers. The variety can be grown in greenhouses. Wim Rin's strawberries love moderate watering. You need to leave 30 centimeters of space between the bushes, and half a meter between the rows.
For the sale of young seedlings, plants are planted in spring or autumn. For personal use, choose the second half of July. Garden strawberries, planted in summer, have time to fully grow stronger before the onset of cold weather.
After planting young plants, peduncles must be removed at first. This is necessary for greater survival rate. For the first 14 days, the strawberries are watered every day. The soil must be periodically loosened so that the roots receive oxygen.
During the cultivation process, it is important to mulch the soil. This treatment reduces weed growth and maintains a moderate moisture level. Experienced summer residents prefer to use non-woven fabric or thick black film. These materials are expensive, but effective and easy to use. Leaves, straw or sawdust are chosen as an affordable replacement.
Site selection and soil preparation
The open and well-lit area is ideal for growing Wim Rin's garden strawberries. If groundwater is present, they should not be located close to the surface of the earth. Waterlogged or clayey soil is not suitable for growing the variety. The acidity level should not be high.
Before planting, the territory is cleared of debris and weeds, plowed (minimum depth - 30 centimeters). At the same time, top dressing is introduced. Humus demonstrates high results (a bucket of organic matter is used per 1 square meter). Complex fertilizers are also suitable. When using ready-made formulations, be sure to follow the instructions on the package. Ash can be used instead of mineral dressings. It is added to humus at the rate of one glass per bucket.
The prepared area is marked into wells. A little humus is poured into each of them, which are mixed with the soil. When using seedlings with an open root system, they are carefully straightened and laid. The growth point should be flush with the ground. After planting, the plants are watered abundantly, and the ground around the bush is covered with mulch.
Pollination
The bushes of Wim Rin are pollinated on their own thanks to the white bisexual flowers. Almost all modern varieties have this characteristic.
Top dressing
To get a high-quality and stable harvest, strawberries of the Vima Rina variety need to be regularly fed with nutrients. It is important to add potassium and nitrogen on time. These components are needed for the development of not only tasty fruits, but also lush green mass.
With the arrival of the next year after planting, when the leaves begin to grow, strawberries are fed with potassium salt or superphosphate. 20 grams of the substance are used per square meter of plantings. The composition is scattered between the rows, and with the help of a hoe it is deepened by 3-5 centimeters. And also humus is introduced under the bushes in the proportion of half a bucket per square meter.
The next time fertilizers are used at the start of the second wave of fruiting. It falls around the end of June. During this period, gardeners use herbal infusions or manure.
When growing garden strawberries, fertilizers are applied before the beginning of autumn. Regular fruiting depletes the bushes, so they constantly need nourishment.
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
Due to its high resistance to frost (up to 30 degrees below zero), it is not necessary to cover plantations within the boundaries of the southern regions. In the northern regions, plantations are covered with agrofibre. And also use other options: straw, branches, dry leaves.
Diseases and pests
In the spring, preventive treatment is performed using the following drugs and formulations:
"Hom";
Horus;
Bordeaux mixture.
They will protect strawberries from viruses and fungal infections. The first time the bushes are treated when the first leaves appear, after hibernation. It reliably protects against gray mold, powdery mildew and other diseases. After 10 days, the procedure is repeated for higher efficiency.
The bushes are sprayed again after flowering. This procedure will protect you from fungal diseases. The last time the work is done after picking berries, in the fall.
Note: many infections and diseases appear as a result of non-compliance with agricultural practices. There should be enough free space between the bushes. In the area where the berries grow, weeds should be removed regularly. The development of fungal infections is provoked by excessive moisture, so watering should be regular, but moderate.
Vima Rina is highly resistant to gray rot and verticillium.
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
Increase strawberry plantations with whiskers. Despite the fact that they are formed in small quantities, this method of reproduction is considered optimal. The outlet is disconnected from the mother plant only after rooting and the formation of several leaves.
