Many gardeners and summer residents are surprised that the indicator of productivity of currant falls every year. Berries become smaller by the size and maturing at them not simultaneous.

To such negative processes the wrong cutting of currant family of bushes or even in general its total absence can be the reason. But such situation is not limited to one problem. The maturing speed, intensity of coloring and the size of berries of currant are influenced also by other factors. It first of all fertility of soil, incorrectly held agrotechnical events, adverse weather conditions, age of escapes, defeat of bushes different diseases and parasites.

Besides different maturing of berries on bushes can depend on high-quality features. The berry overload is characteristic of some grades of currant.
