In the summer season, after that, just as fruiting will be completed on strawberries, the most experienced summer residents, as well as the principle, cut off the leaves. The problem is that the period of existence of strawberry leaves is rather short, but as a result, earlier to in the gray of summer, she begins to crimson, in some cases turn yellow, wither, compensate for various specks.
Of course, a speck is, according to a huge share, all without exception, really a criterion of the disease. For this reason, after fruiting, it was established to cut off all leaves without exception, without affecting in any way just showing, also without affecting the root outlet - a heart.
However, pruning must be combined with plant disinfection. This should be done simultaneously after pruning or on the second or third day after it. It is necessary to cut the leaves with a sharp pruner or scissors. Soak your implement in disinfectant solution from time to time, pay attention to this factor. In a similar way, you will exclude a public infection of strawberries if suddenly the only one from the bushes is shocked by any disease.
And earlier, after cutting off the leaves, strawberries can be sprayed with potassium permanganate. For this purpose, create a slightly pinkish mixture. Take only warm water for the solution. It is possible to simply put it in the sun in advance or boil it first.
Then, with the support of a sprayer or a spray bottle, irrigate the strawberry bushes in the same way (do not rush here). Here, while the bushes are still wet from this treatment, sprinkle wood ash according to it. For the purpose of this, it must first be sieved with a strainer, since the ash particles must be small. If you do not have this kind of ash, then it is possible to simply sprinkle the ash around the bush.
Of course, this earlier will not be a disinfection treatment, but without exception, it is really feeding. For this reason, it is more correct to find a species with a small amount of ash.
After 2-3 days, it is imperative to reproduce the same treatment with potassium permanganate also by adding ash. At this time, the younger generation of leaves will begin to appear earlier, and they simply really need such disinfection.
Among these treatments or after them, strawberries also need to be fed.
