Victoria strawberry grade can be found quite often in garden and household plots. It does not always happen to what berries are taste, dimensions are different, the color scheme is also floating, what is the variety? How to distinguish a real Victoria from other types and hybrids?
Victoria variety - strawberries or strawberries?
To deal with confusion, it is necessary to remember, in the household sections, a large-scale garden strawberry is grown in the gardens various varieties, in literary sources is mentioned as strawberries. AT different regions Often B. spoken Speech We hear the word "strawberry" or, popularly, Victoria.
According to history, the strawberry garden large-scale, brought from Europe, began to be called Victoria. Earlier, the strawberries were grown, which with the arrival of European strawberries lost its place in the garden and lost its name. It is difficult to say, called Victoria some kind of variety of Dutch origin or a new strawberry received such a name, but Victoria became common name for sad strawberry For a long time period.
When new varieties appeared, agrotechnical cultivation techniques were developed, strawberries began to call Victoria significantly less often, today in the former sense this word is found not often. But you can meet the characteristics and description of the Victoria variety, given that there is no information in official patented lists. According to reviews, Victoria is characterized as a berry, the taste of which we remember from childhood.
Strawberry Victoria variety, myth or truth?
Most likely, the tradition remains to use the word Victoria, since another 30-35 years ago, this fact was not rare. In fact, such varieties do not exist , except for the gardeners-lovers derived by varieties.
Features landing
Put strawberries on solar levels. The root system of berry seedlings is in the surface layer, so the soil must be light, loose and air, most importantly - nutritious. Wetlands and sections with level soil water Less than one meter from the surface is not suitable for cultivation, but the situation can save the landing of garden strawberries on the ridges (hills).
The beds under the strawberry are preparing preliminarily prepared in 1-1.5 months before the alleged landing. They contribute (humid, compost 5-6 kg / m.kv), potassium salt (10-15 gr / m.kv) and superphosphate (15-20 gr / m.kv) when preparing in autumn. With a spring landing in the soil, it is desirable to make an ammonia nitrate (1 tbsp.l. / m2). The land is drunk, loose, leave before shrinkage.
It is desirable to plant on cloudy days either in the evening so that the sun does not burn the rays of the plant. In the spring, the duration of planting strawberries begin at the end of March (in the southern regions and in Kuban), in middle lane - May, but the best time is the summer landing at the end of July, August. Complete work in September, so that the socket is well rooted before the cold, laid flower kidneys for fruiting next year.
Ensures the selection of healthy strong mustache with developed urine roots, in this case the plant will quickly go to growth, will take it in 2-3 weeks. When landing is followed by a growth point (heart), which should be located in the ground with earth, without unnecessary rehabilitation, discover from the soil. Applied various schemes, depending on the number of seedlings, characteristics, variety features, terrain relief, etc.
separately standing bushesIn this case, the sockets are formed powerful and large. For good care It is less likely to get rotting and other diseases, since it is sufficiently ventilated. The method is suitable for regions with high humidity, in the south, the scheme is rarely applied due to the roast climate;

carpet landing - Comfortable I. easy method, It is not required to trim strawberry mustache. Strawberries grow up, forming a lush green carpet. The disadvantage is the berries smaller, in areas with frequent and abundant precipitation, in this way it is not recommended to plant a strawberry due to a wet microclimate inside the plants. Suitable for the south of Russia, where summer is roast and sunny;

strawberry landing nests Ensures the placement of one plant in the center, around another 5-6 seedlings. The distance from the central bush to the side 7-10 cm, between the nests of 30-35 cm;

strawberry landing in the ranks is the most common. The mustache is located in one or two rows at a distance of 18-20 cm, the gaps of 0.4-0.45 m are left in the rivers. The method is convenient for further reproduction of strawberries, as there is enough space to throw away the mustache and good rooting.

Care in detail
Garden strawberries with timely and proper care Possible to give high yield with large-sized berries. The feeders are important plants at all stages of growth, for the year you need to eat strawberries three times:
In early spring After snowing snow, when the soil snacks, old leaves will be removed, and loosening produced, give the first feeding of strawberries using a solution of chicken litter (1:10), ammonia nitrate (1 tbsp. on 10 liters of water) or nitroammofoski (50- 60 g / 10 l);
During flowering Strawberry should be filtered with a mortar of a cowboard (1:15), green fertilizer, ash (120-150 grams with the addition of 10-15 grams boric acid To increase the number of groats). Make spraying by drugs a bud to stimulate the germination of pollen, the tie of fruits during the formation of the formation of flowers (breed according to the instructions on the package);
After harvesting strawberries (in August, September) feed for the restoration of forces, good Development and the formation of mustache. If no cultivation is required planting material, the mustache is cut into the plants to take the nutrient elements from the uterine bush. Putting fertilizers in this period will contribute to the laying and increase in the number of flower kidney for the crop of next year. Use complex balanced feeders, organic fertilizers With a small amount of nitrogen in the composition.
Watering strawberries is produced once every 2-5 days depending on weather conditions and the state of the soil, plants. In dry days, the amount of irrigation is participating, especially after harvesting. The lack of moisture during the bookmark of floral kidney leads to a decrease in the yield for the future in the future.
Grocery for strawberries must be kept in its pure form, timely removing weeds and loosen the upper layer of the Earth. To preserve a favorable microclimate throughout the entire season of vegetation, landing is mounted with straw or hay, which also facilitates the collection of berries that are not dirty. The feature of the agricultural equipment of strawberries is to transplant plants every 2-3 years, since the berries minor, the damage to pests and disease is increasing.
We will tell you about the secrets of landing and care strawberry "Victoria". After examining them, you will become an excellent gardener.
What is the difference between "Victoria", strawberries and strawberries
"Victoria" – This is the name of one of the varieties of strawberry garden. The main difference between strawberries and strawberries is that the strawberry grows in the fields, and strawberries in the forests. You will be surprised, but the gardens and gardens are growing not strawberries, as we are all used to calling it, but the strawberry garden is large. The feature of strawberries is that she has men and women's plants, while the garden strawberries plants are only one-bedroom.
No matter how many contradictions about the difference between strawberries and strawberries, everyone agreed in one thing: both garden, and forest, and a dozen species of strawberries and strawberries belong to the genus "Strawberry".
Did you know? Strawberry Sadovaya was obtained from American large-scale species in the XVIII century in Europe.
Some features of the planting "Victoria"
The first thing to pay attention to when landing "Victoria" is the climate of your region. If the winter is not very frosty, then it is possible to plant it in the spring, then in the summer it will grow and grow strengthened. But if you are in a softer climatic zoneYou should wait with the landing until autumn.
When it is better to plan
The landing time is selected from considerations that we want to get in the end. To get the best mustache and sockets, it follows in early spring or late summer. At this time, moisture in the ground is enough, and the air temperature is just suitable for planting strawberries. Therefore, from March 15 to April 5 and from July 25 to September 5 - best time For landing.
Growing "Victoria" is still better to postpone in August. It is this month that all the favorable conditions are created for young bushes of strawberries.
How to choose and prepare a landing space
Shed strawberries should be in the soil, where legumes, root, onions or garlic grew before that. The main thing is that the place is well lit. Ideally choose a place in advance and falling by his sites. Lupine is the best Siderate.
Important! Before planting seedlings, you should get rid of all weeds and mix the soil.
To plant strawberries, you should make a hole for her:
- They should be wide and deep.
- The distance between the wells should be from 30 to 50 cm, and between the rows - 40 cm.
- Earth bucket we mix with a bucket of manure, a bucket of compost and add two glasses of ash.
- In the center of the wells make Hollyk.
How to put strawberry bushes
A favorable time for planting strawberries, as well as for most other cultures, evening or gloomy day. An hour before you decide to plant seedlings, you should soak seedlings in water. So they will quickly get in the ground. A good seedling before landing should be no more than four healthy leaflets and the length of the roots should not exceed 10 cm.
Consider phased landing Saplings:
- Take a bush and put it on a hilmik.
- The growth point should be at the level with the surface of the garden, roots with a hilly.
- We hold the bush and at the same time fall asleep it with soil and water water.
- The growth point must be perfect in the soil. It is impossible for it to be too deep or too high above the soil.
Did you know? Berries of strawberries bring the taste into our lives, and its leaves are beneficial. They contain such vitamins like iron, calcium, carotene and vitamin C. From the leaves, it is useful to brew tea, they could cure gout, atherosclerosis and poisoning.
Some features of the care of "Victoria"
When you just planted strawberries, the yield of "Victoria" can be reduced to flowers and mustache. Do not regret and do not admire them. Your duty is to snatch them and give strawberries calmly root in a new place.
How to water strawberries
Immediately after landing and before the start of flowering, the strawberries do not require watering. She is enough moisture that remained in the soil after the winter. Instead of watering, it is important to loosen it, it satages the ground with air. In just season, strawberries need to be poured at least two times. If the summer was dry, watering should be every 10 days. Especially strawberries require a lot of water when it starts to bloom and until the very end of fruiting.
Important! If you want the berries of strawberries not to start, do not water it with sprinkling. Only drip watering.
It is important to pour strawberries in front of the winter cold. The most optimal month for this is October.
How to correct strawberries
When the strawberries take place a season of vegetation, it really needs to be fed. But it is important to remember that the fertilizer "Victoria" should be moderate. If it is recalled, the berries will not be so tasty and they will appear on them gray Gnil. Find the right nutritional balance, as if the fertilizers are not enough, the berries also lose taste, sweetness and leaves become pale or red.
In the first year, strawberries have enough fertilizers with which she was planted. But since the second year, Superphosphate, Selitra and Potassium are introduced into the soil, each to 50 g. After the first fruit fertilizers are repeated in the same quantities. It is necessary to feed strawberries after rain or with independent watering. First you water the earth, then fertilize and leave the soil again.
What is the benefit of mulch for strawberries
Mulching strawberries should be mandatory:
- Mulch helps to delay moisture in the ground.
- Weeds are sitting under the ground and do not climb on the surface.
- The soil is enriched with nutrients and acquires loose consistency.
- Under the layer of mulch, rainworms appear, which improve the structure of the Earth.
Methods of breeding "Victoria"
- Reproduction seeds. Perhaps this is one of the most difficult growing processes of strawberries. So that the seeds sprouted and withstand all the conditions need for them special care. In order to get at least some result, you must sow seeds and for 30 days to keep them in the most favorable conditions.
- Dilution of mustes. You will need one plastic glass, warm water with added fertilizers, warm and bright room. Gently cut off the mustache from strawberries and put in a plastic glass with water and fertilizer. We leave for several days while the socket and the roots are formed. Next, we transplant to another glass and create a "swamp" atmosphere: I fill the roots so that they can continue to grow. Somewhere in 15 days should dry up the upper layer, fall asleep mulch, and the Us is ready for disembarking into the ground. Already in 45 days you will see the result.
- Transfer outlet. The easiest I. convenient way reproduction. Cut a socket and immediately plant it on a new place, which in front of the water and fertilize.
- Pollination of strawberries in the greenhouse and on open soil. Strawberries are considered a dwarm berry, so insects need insects. There are no problems with this in the open soil, but artificial fertilization can be used in the greenhouse. Take a brush with thin villings and poke into all the flowers. After some time, there will be so many pollen on the tassel that you can fertilize all the flowers. Repeat this process twice a week with a new discovery of flowers.
Gardeners are often confused in the names: strawberries, strawberries, Victoria, - So I want to clarify these concepts.
Dear gardeners, we all grow a large-scale garden strawberry of different varieties, and it is not necessary to describe its characteristic. On the literary language, it is simply abbreviated called strawberries. It is her in various regions of Russia that is even now called strawberries or Victoria. Why is it so called strawberries?
Many years ago in Russia they grown strawberries. This culture with very tasty and fragrant berries, but, unfortunately, its berries are much smaller than that of large-water garden strawberries, and it is low-way. By appearance This plant is very similar to a large-scale garden strawberry. However, there are differences. Its blooms (consequently, both berries) are significantly higher than the leaves. The edges of the leaves are strongly dissected. Flowers are white, pink and light lilac, they are smaller than the strawberries. Currently, strawberries in the gardens are extremely rare.
Why in some localities, the strawberries call Victoria?
A large-scale garden strawberry for the first time to us in Russia was brought from America. She was brought by marigors travelers. It was Victoria strawberry grade. Our gardeners for the first time seeing this plant, asked the sailors: "What is this plant?" The navigators answered them: "Victoria!".
From those times and the confusion went in the title: some are called strawberries, others - Victoria.
In the 80-90 years of the last century, scientists, crossed strawberries with a large-scale garden strawberry, brought a completely new garden culture. This eloquently says itself 
name of culture. This culture is more winter-hardy, it is better to resist diseases of strawberries, in particular, such a common illness as gray rot. Created already many varieties: Raisa, Penelope, Nadezhda Zagurn, Diana and others. This culture partially combines positive traits Both parental couples: its berries larger than that of strawberries (although much smaller than that of large-sized strawberries). From strawberries she "took" a pleasant aroma and good taste qualities. But despite such positive qualities, in our gardens this culture has not yet been widespread. The main obstacle to this is a relatively small size of the berries - 7-12 g, although they are significantly more strawberries, but smaller than that of modern strawberry varieties.

How nice winter evening drink tea with strawberry jam, because his taste and fragrance remind of summer. However, few people know that strawberry jam is not brewed.
Agronomas argue that the berry that we used to consider strawberries is a garden strawberry, and our grandmothers have called her Victoria all their life, and she has no relation to strawberries. Here you need to figure it out.
Strawberry, or, as it is also called, nutmetic strawberries, unlike garden strawberries Leaves strongly corrugated light green. And the blooms are almost always above the leaves, the flowers are same-sex. At varieties of garden strawberries Obroat flowers.
As for strawberries, it is smaller than the garden strawberries, but larger than the forestry. The taste of berries is sweet, with a strong aroma. And they are poorly separated from the color, there are red, pink, and sometimes violet color.
So, strawberries and strawberries - plants are different. Nobody will argue with it.
However, the question arises: how much the names we are accustomed to what plants are representing.
Both strawberries and strawberries belong to the family of strawberry family of rustic. Representatives of this kind can be found throughout Eurasia and America. The most common berry is wild, or forest, strawberries. It is her who we are accustomed to collecting in the forest.
In ancient times in the gardens and parks in Europe, forest strawberries were grown only as decorative or healing plant. And only in the XV - XVI centuries. It began to be considered a berry culture. She was named Fragaria, which means "fragrant" in Latin. However, despite its pleasant taste, the popularity of the strawberries did not use - her berries were too small. And the history of strawberries would have ended, if two centuries later did not appear, the new one, which we call strawberries and grow in our sites. This is the so-called garden strawberry, or pineapple. In nature, it is impossible to meet it, but also specially not taken it. It simply arose during the coincidence of certain circumstances.
It is believed that the progenitors of garden strawberries, or strawberries, were two species - Virginian and strawberries of Chilean. They received their names at the place of growth. But one species grows in North Americaand the other - in South, how did you appear a new look?
This happened in France. To Europe from America was the first strawberry Virgin. This is a large plant with delicate fragrant and sweet scarlet berries. She was taken at the beginning of the XVII century. And landed in Versailles. Ripe berries were 2 times larger than the berries of forest strawberries, but not so delicious.
Strawberry Chilean fell into Europe only after a hundred years - at the beginning of the XVIII century. Attention to this kind of strawberries, or rather, the French officer Amida Fleze, who performed military assignment in Chile. The plant was distinguished by powerful shoots, rounded leaves and large berries. Some were sizes with a small egg. But the taste of berries was not as good as the forest strawberries.
The film captured several plants with him to France, of which only five survived the end of the journey. One of the bushes were transferred to the Royal Botanical Garden in Paris. There, it was propagated in a vegetative way, and from there, several samples came to the French botanic Antoine Dushen, who was a big connoisseur of Fragaria in Europe.
So, the bushes of Chilean strawberries landed in Versailles near the Virgin strawberry. This is where their random pollination occurred, as a result of which the hybrid turned out to be called a garden strawberry. He was superior to taste, sizes and unpretentiousness famous species strawberries. In Russia, garden strawberries got into late XVIII at. The first was the spread of a large-scale English variety "Victoria".
Well, what then is such a strawberry? From the point of view of Botany, this kind of strawberry, but completely different. Strawberry is a muscat strawberry that received its name for a specific fragrance. The strawberry began to be called it because her berries in shape resembled small talls. A nutmetic strawberry in a wild form grows in the southern regions of Russia, in Ukraine, in Kazakhstan and Central Asia. In nature, it divine Plant: Men's I. female flowers Located on different bushes. Fruit only female plants. It must be said that both in Europe, and in Russia, the strawberries were grown specifically and even received several of its varieties. But after the emergence of garden strawberries, it stopped growing.
In the 1970s. Scientists crossed the strawberry garden and strawberries nutmetic and received a hybrid, which was called "Zemlika".
Botanical description
It is believed that strawberry is a variety of garden strawberries. But actually strawberries and strawberries - not the same thing: The origin of these two types of berries is different.
So, strawberries fine-cooled is the form of forest strawberries. It has small berries, in addition, strawberries of low-market. All varieties of strawberries with large berries are a kind of garden large-scale, it is also called pineapple, strawberries. This kind of strawberries occurred from the American - Chilean and Virgin.
Often in everyday life we \u200b\u200bcall a large-scale garden strawberry strawberry. But it's not right. Strawberry has a poor choice of varieties that were derived with wild strawberries. But since the strawberries have low yields, the fruits are small, and the transportability is bad, then it has not been widespread.
If you compare strawberries with strawberries, then it can be noted that strawberries has a powerful bush, her leaves light color, densely flooded, the flowers are always towering over the leaves, small berries, have a conical shape, the party that was in the sun, a reddish-purple shade; In addition, strawberry berries have a rather strong nutmeg aroma. For the most part, strawberry varieties are downtown plants.
But as for strawberries, this is a long-term grassy plant, a long-term part of which is represented by the rhizome in the surface layer of the soil. Rhizome has nodes in which the reduced leaves are located in the form of film scales. Side kidneys are developing in the sinuses of these scales. Root strawberry system consists of podep roots, thick covering young parts of the root. The roots of strawberries are growing throughout the growing season, but the most active growth occurs in the spring and continues until the end of fruiting.
Spring roots grow faster than leaves. This happens approximately 10 days before the leaves of the plant begin to develop. So early growth of roots ensures stock nutrientsremaining since last year. To start the growth of the root system, it is enough that the temperature of the soil reached + 2-3 ° C. And at the soil temperature + 18-25 ° C, the most active growth of the roots occurs.
The second wave of active growth of the root system comes a little later. It is associated with the development of the apparent roots of the plant in annual growths.
Strawberry has a basic, well-branched root system. Most of the roots are in the upper layer of the soil at a depth of up to 30 cm. Each year their increase occurs mainly by the formation of new apparent roots. Bottom part The root system after a few years is winning. In the old main roots, the reserves of nutrients are postponed. Rhizome strawberries are located directly under the leaves of the plant itself, sometimes it can go beyond their projection by 15-20 cm.
The above-ground part of this plant is annual growths reaching a length of 1-1.5 cm. Such growths are called horns. Leaves are formed by the horn, colorless escape with inflorescence at the top and mustache. Having finished fruit, the color-point escape dies. At this stage, the progressive development of the horn is completed. After that, the growth of the overhead part of the strawberries continues through the development of stubborn kidneys, of which new horns appear.
During the period of rooting, the young outlet of the leaves has a single horn. In the fall, their quantity increases to 2-3, after a year there are 5-6, and in two years the number of horns increases to 8-16, etc. The active growth of horns from strawberries occurs only in the first three years of life, after which the plant begins The age and the appearance and development of new horns are reduced.
During the growing season at strawberries, there are 2-3 leaf generations. Each generation of leaves has a lifespan of about two months. The most active appearance of the leaves occurs in the spring, before flowering plants. In the phase of fruiting the appearance and development of new leaves decreases, since most of Nutrients goes on the formation of fruits.
The second wave of active growth of the leaves occurs after harvest. The more intense is formed by the leaves during this period, the better the laying of flowering kidneys. And this, in turn, will provide a high harvest next year. The leaves appeared on the second wave of sheet formation, live for 70-80 days, die late in the fall.
In about mid-September, strawberries arise autumn leavesWith which the plant winter. Under favorable conditions, these leaves live until spring. If the strawberry winter with leaves, then in the spring season of vegetation in such plants begins earlier than others, by 1-1.5 weeks. In addition, in the period of fruiting on such bushes, there will be 25% more harvest than on plants with leaves metering.
At the stage of vegetation, stranded shoots appear in straggings, so-called mustache. They are formed unevenly. AT spring period they develop slowly long time Staying in the infancy. The mustache begin to actively grow in June and July, capturing the beginning of August. Fully the growth of the mustache ceases at the end of August.
Flower kidney strawberries are laid in autumn, during its first two months. Some strawberry varieties can lay buds and in summer. An important role in this is played by the number of preceding precipitation. Strawberries - moisture-loving plantand with sufficient moisture of the kidneys are formed earlier and in larger quantities. In the spring period, plants flowers are formed for three weeks. Strawberry grade and age plants affect the number of color-kidney and flowers. The younger plant, the stronger the flowers and more flowers will be formed on it.
Almost all varieties of strawberries have flowers with normally developed stamens and pestles. Such varieties are self-polling and planted in an array with one variety.
The fruit of strawberries - a false berry formed from the screaming color. It is false because in fact the fruits of strawberries are small bright seeds located on the berries. Different varieties Strawberries have a different duration of fruiting. In addition to the variety, it also depends on the weather conditions carried out by agrotechnology. Choosing strawberries with different terms Maturation, you can extend the time for collecting berries.
To this day, the nerds argue: if everyone's favorite juicy strawberries are false a false berry - to be blown up to large sizes - or still proclaim it with the first and unique plant, whose seeds are not inside, and outside the fetus.
Strawberry, perhaps, not the most winter-hardy berry among other berry crops. Strawberries are able to normally winter only under the snow cover. If the winter is extinct, and the temperature lasts about -10 - 15 ° C, it can freeze and even die. Jump, as a rule, the top kidneys and leaves. If the thickness of the snow cover is approximately 25-30 cm, then the bushes of strawberries can transfer frost to -30 ° C.
But it should be remembered that the winter hardiness strawberries depends not only on the variety features, but also from the location garden plotconducted by agrotechnology, especially during the growing season, and, of course, from the age of the plant. Of course, the winter hardiness strawberries decreases if the plants lack moisture. Strawberries also need soil sealing. Negative influence In the winter hardiness, strawberries have pests and diseases of the plant. In order for the strawberry to be normal to winter, you need to delete the collapse of the mustache in a timely manner.
Each gardener loves to grow berries at home. This delicacy is not only delicious, but also useful. From berries boiled fragrant jam and prepare exquisite desserts. And homemade ice cream with strawberries is the nice treat for children.
Rail Victoria by panstone Not so difficult. Sufficient to observe the agricultural landing and basic rules Care. In this case, the gardener will receive a rich strawberry harvest.
According to some reports, the name "Victoria" was given a berry in honor of the English Queen of Victoria, since it was supposedly in her garden for the first time this berry got. Since then, culture has spread throughout Europe and a little later fell into Russia. From other sources it is known that the variety was brought from Holland. To date, this variety in the official registry is not included, since with the time this name began to be called absolutely all varieties of garden strawberries. And the term "Victoria" became synonymous with strawberries and strawberries.
Perhaps the greatest advantage of Victoria strawberries is considered to be its unpretentiousness and large-partness.
The excellent tastes also entered a number of benefits of berries. Moreover, strawberries are stable to. If the plant is affected, then because of the wrong agricultural engineering or adverse climatic conditions. Gardeners prefer to grow remote Victoria varieties. They give a good harvest and easy to care.
Strawberry is unpretentious, but still has several preferences to the soil and the place of cultivation. Their observance will be a guarantee of high yield.
To plant strawberries, choose even, sunny sections. It is desirable that the place is protected from the winds. Perfect option - Open, Sunny plot at the junction of the fence. That is, the fencing of the site is needed on both sides, so that the beds are not blocked in winter. Great if the site has a small bias towards the West. The soil should not be a marshy, strawberry does not like too raw land.
Strawberry Victoria grows well on fertile soils.
It is important not to place a plant next to pepper, or. It will feel good with bean cultures, or. Do not land Victoria next to the trees. Culture will develop very poorly. If the plant is planted in a good place, it will grow well and give a generous harvest.
Many experienced gardeners They advise to plant Victoria in the ridge. Someone recommends not to be caught and planted with strawberries as usual - in the wells. As agronomists say, the comb is appropriate on swampy soils or in the northern regions. In other cases, Victoria is planted in deepening.
Landing Rules:
- In the wells are mandatory added by hand wood ash and 1 kg of compost or humus. All components are thoroughly mixed with the ground, watered and only then plant seedlings.
- The distance between the rows is approximately 50-60 cm, and between the seedlings up to 35 cm.
- Around young bushes make a circle with an eyebrow so that when watering the water does not break down, and remained around the plant.
- After each watering, the Earth needs to be mounted or bevelled grass or straw. Measure helps to keep moisture in the soil. Especially it concerns southern Regionswhere drought is a normal phenomenon.
Many sit down strawberries, which is called "on the film". That is, the earth around the plant is closed either by agrofiber or mulching film. Berries always remain clean, and the bacteria and pests have no chance of defeating the fruits. The mulch is also desirable and because it does not give to germinate. The agricultural landing of Victoria is not so complicated. The main thing is to prepare the soil, enrich it with the organic and mineral macro and microelements. Putting the seedlings, the task of proper care is now faced before the gardener.
The rules of care for Victoria include timely watering, weeding and loosening. In addition to standard strawberry procedures, it requires constant fertilizer. She loves the body very much. Therefore, 2-3 weeks after landing, it needs to be filtered with a solution in a ratio of 1:10. If there is no such possibility, please the plant with a mineral complex with macroelements - nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. The second dressing is carried out during flowering and fruit crushing. The third during the pouring of fruits.
By the autumn, fertilizers stop and allow the plant to gain strength for the winter.
Care rules include Victoria. Conduct it every four years. The uterine plants dig up and transfer to a new place with fresh, enriched soil. You can replace old bushes to new by growing outlets from them on the mustache. Modify Victoria better at a biennium.
In the autumn, Victoria is covered with a layer of mulch 6-8 cm high. Old leaves are not removed, as they will delay the snow and protect the bushing from freezing. In the spring, when snow and soil comes down, it is desirable to inspect all the Victoria bushes. Whether they turned well. If some bush is frozen, it is removed. The plantation is cleaned from the layer of mulch and remove old, yellowed leaves.
A rather sustainable disease plant, but in a bad summer and in non-compliance with the rules of care can be affected by some diseases. In crude and cold weather, plants suffer from various types of rot, fungal and viral diseases. Pests may appear in hot. Victoria refer to the most common ailments of Victoria: - Serious rot
- Black rot
- Spotted
From rotting and spotting to get rid of difficult. First of all, delete all the affected fruits. Process the plantation of copper chloroks or Bordeaux liquid (1%). To prevent the appearance of these misfortunes, process strawberry bushes to these drugs and be sure to lay a layer or straw around the plants. From muced dew Get rid of a solution prepared from colloidal sulfur in a ratio of 100 g on 10 liters of water. You can use a solution of manganese.

Among the pests it is worth allocating only those that can significantly harm the plant. It is not recommended to fight them in the period of fruiting and flowering with chemicals. Therefore, Victoria is often treated with them before flowering as prophylaxis. To the one dangerous pests Believe:
- Strawberry tick - plant is treated with carbofos after removing the last harvest. During the fruiting, it is impossible to do insecticide processing. Therefore, there are vegetable infusions from leaves or dandelion.
- The web tick is treated with carbofos after harvesting or vegetable iridescent or tobacco in flowering.
- Weevil - for treatment use the preparation "Iskra-M" or carbofos.
- - It is almost impossible to get rid of nematodes. Here only prevention will help - this is the treatment of seedlings before planting disinfectant solutions. If the plant is affected by nematode, it is removed, and the area is treated with chlorine lime.
- Slugs and ants - slippers are collected in twilight manually, and with ants can be struggling with special insecticides.
If the weather did not fail, they care about the berry, you can not worry about the harvest. Observe landings and the plant will delight with delicious and fragrant fruits. If the weather brings, there are constant rains and there are temperature differences, be sure to inspect strawberries and take prevention measures. For example, after rains, lay a dry mulch between the rows and bushes. So the chances of the appearance of diseases and pests will be less. Standing care and attention will be rewarded with gardeners generous harvest of loved by all delicacies!
