Currant and gooseberry need continuous power and improvement of the soil around the roots. How it is correct to feed up them in the fall to receive tasty and large berries in new season?
Why to introduce fertilizers in autumn time?
The fertilizing brought in aestivo-autumnal time will help plants to save up reserve of nutrients and to transfer difficult weather patterns to the winter period, and it both frosts, and lack of snow cover, and freezing of the soil, and thaw.
When it is necessary to bring fertilizing under bushes of currant and gooseberry?
The autumn period can be separated into two terms of application of fertilizers. The first - August end of September, it is possible to use for fertilizing of all bushes of currant and gooseberry. At this time as a part of fertilizing give a little nitrogen, but the most part is the share of phosphorus and potassium. Nitrogen is necessary to roots for digestion of phosphorus. Roots continue the work, growth and development. But, if in the spring and in the summer significant nitric fertilizing was brought, then it is possible to do also without them. It is necessary to look narrowly at bushes. If gain good and leaves large, then bushes have received nitrogen enough and vice versa. It is better to introduce fertilizers small doses in the fall.
The second fertilizing is given to currant at the end of September beginning of October. At this time use only phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. You should not forget also about microelements. They also should be included in fertilizing.
At the beginning of November under bushes scatter the rotted-through manure, organic chemistry. Under each bush bring not less half-bucket. All fertilizers close up to the soil on depth of 8-12 cm on krone perimeter. It is necessary to consider that the pristvolny circle at currant is much wider, than at gooseberry.
What fertilizers to apply to fertilizing?
From phosphoric fertilizers apply superphosphates. The dose of phosphorus twice higher less than slags is better to give preference to double superphosphate, in it. From potash it is possible to use potassium sulfate, kalimagneziya, wood ashes. And here chloride potassium is undesirable to red and white currant. But it is possible to feed up also chloride potassium in the fall, considering that chlorine is washed away by precipitation. The gooseberry needs potassium more, than currant.
From complex fertilizers apply the Fall fertilizer, special for bushes. In the absence of those even the nitrophoska will approach.
The amount of the introduced fertilizers depends on age, condition of bushes and return of harvest. Norms of introduction under bush indicate instructions of each fertilizer.
In dry weather after application of fertilizers it is necessary to water plants.
