Landing

The culture is planted at rest, either in early spring before the start of sap flow, or in the middle of autumn with its completion. If this condition is met, the seedlings will take root better and will be less susceptible to disease. When choosing a location, give preference to sunny, open areas, with a slight rise, but protected from the winds. You can land near buildings and a fence, but 1.5 m from them.

For planting, choose 1- or 2-year-old specimens with a good root system, without signs of disease. The day before transplanting, the seedlings are soaked in a root-forming solution. Planting scheme - between bushes 1-1.5 m, between rows 1.5-2 m. The planting pit is prepared in advance.

The volume of the hole depends on the roots. Better to dig a bigger hole. Drainage is laid at the bottom, then there is a layer of humus with mixed wood ash, at the end it is sprinkled with garden soil.

Growing and care

Competent agricultural technology in growing crops is timely irrigation and feeding. The plant spends a lot of energy on growth and fruiting. Therefore, whatever the fertile land, the soil must be enriched with nutrients.

After planting seedlings, they are watered once a week, after rooting, watering is reduced to several times a month. The bushes are irrigated as the soil dries up, but if the weather is hot and dry, you need to water more often.

Fertilization begins in the second year of development. Binar currant responds positively to both mineral and organic fertilizers. The variety is fed 3 times per season: in the spring, as the buds begin to swell, after the end of flowering and during the formation of the berries.

Pruning is carried out both in autumn and spring. Branches that bore fruit, dried, broken, diseased and frozen are subject to mandatory removal. For better wintering, a layer of mulch is laid under the seedlings to protect the roots from freezing.

The most important step in caring for currants is the correct moisture of the crop throughout the growing season. Due to errors in watering, you can lose most of the crop and get small and tasteless berries.
Pruning is an indispensable element of caring for any fruit shrubs, including currants. If you carry out this agrotechnical procedure at the optimal time and do it correctly and regularly, the result will not slow down to affect the quality and quantity of berries grown.
Competent preparation of currants for winter is the key to a good harvest for next year. Autumn care for currants and preparation for cold weather includes the following stages: pruning, watering, feeding, treatment from diseases and pests, shelter.
In the process of growing currants, timely feeding is an important part of care. Organic and mineral elements are necessary not only for the harmonious growth of the bush, but also for the formation of the crop. During the entire growing season, the plant needs different substances, which is important to consider when choosing a fertilizer.

Currant is one of the most favorite crops of gardeners, it can be found on almost any personal plot.In order for the currant berries to be tasty and large, and the bush itself to be healthy and strong, you should properly care for, treat and protect the plant from harmful insects. It is important to recognize the signs of the disease in a timely manner and begin treatment in the early stages of plant damage.

If there is a need to increase the size of the plantings of currants or to rejuvenate the shrub, then you can propagate the currants yourself. You can propagate currants in different ways: green cuttings, lignified cuttings and layering. Each of the procedures is a vegetative propagation of currants and allows you to get full-fledged seedlings without much effort.
