The main thing is to maintain a balance so that the earth is not dry or too moist, since stagnant moisture negatively affects the health of plants and provokes the development of fungal diseases. Also, with excessive irrigation, the root system begins to rot, as a result of which the culture dies. Watering should be done only during the hours of minimum solar activity.Experienced gardeners use only warm and settled water.

It is advisable to feed all fruit crops, but when growing the Abundant variety, you do not need to often fertilize. 2-3 procedures are enough throughout the season.
