It is optimal to establish a support for already mature seedlings, if they are tied correctly, the yield increases. The trellis version of the garter is recommended, in which the bushes are formed comfortable for harvesting. Fruit production is increased and the risk of disease is significantly reduced.

  • Fertilizer. When the variety enters the period of active development, it is fertilized with phosphorus-nitrogen compounds. Before budding and creating the ovary, it is better to add compositions with iodine, boron, potassium. Organic matter is also required, which is well suited for diluted poultry droppings.
