Features of growing and caring for maintenance varieties of raspberries in southern Russia: the best recommendations
In the southern regions of the country, the problem of growing remont raspberries is drying the shoots. Strong winds in winter and spring dry the shoots and root system of the plant, the bush dies. Therefore, raspberry cultivation in these regions must be approached in a special way.
Bushes are planted in quiet places that are protected from gusts of strong winds. You can place the garden bed along the wall of the house, under the crown of trees. The place may be shaded so that the berries do not bake in the bright sun.
The best time for planting seedlings is autumn. It is better to refuse spring planting, since the temperature rises rapidly during this period, young plants do not tolerate drought well, require a lot of attention and often die.
Landing pits are prepared in advance. Their size corresponds to the root system of the seedling, the depth of the holes is about 40 cm. The soil is well mixed with organic and mineral fertilizers before planting, and then poured into the bottom of the pits.
To collect a good harvest of berries in the spring, it is important to keep as many shoots of the last year as possible. To improve their growth and development in the spring, nitrogen fertilizers are applied, for example, urea. The solution is prepared at the rate of 40 g of the drug per 1 square. m. beds. The raspberry yield is significantly increased.
It is extremely important to monitor soil moisture, especially in the spring and summer. If the weather is too dry, then the raspberry must be watered, and the soil around is mulched. For industrial cultivation, plots are laid on the banks of rivers, on the side of mountains, where there is more natural rainfall.
Do not forget about late autumn water-loading irrigation, bushes do not tolerate winter well without it. After the last harvest, the garden is abundantly watered, and the root zone is mulched.
