Many people love raspberries: they make stewed fruit, jam, and add them to different dishes. Therefore, they often allocate a large enough plot of land for growing these berries. Remontant raspberry is especially popular among adults and children. It has certain peculiarities of care during cultivation, which you definitely need to know in order to collect a high yield.
I.V. Kazakov - Professor, Doctor of Agricultural Sciences, as well as Academician of the Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences and one of the most famous breeders in Russia. He knows all the nuances of caring for a remonty raspberry and shares these secrets with other people.
These berries like to use almost all adults and kids. It is appreciated for a very delicate and sweet taste, and a pleasant aroma.In addition, raspberry brings great benefits in the treatment of various colds. Until recently, it could be enjoyed only in July, and today berries can be consumed before the first frost.
Selection and preliminary preparation of soil for planting raspberries
For the cultivation of remontant raspberries should pick up well-lit places, which receives a lot of sunlight. This is important because the degree of illumination of the plot directly affects the yield, as well as the speed of ripening berries. In addition, raspberries prefer fertile soil and warm air. Choosing a site, it is necessary to avoid lowland areas. It has been established that the first berries will ripen much faster if the snow cover melts earlier and the top layer of the soil warms up well.
Repair raspberry is not too demanding on the soil. However, it is possible to significantly increase the yield of a plant by adding a large amount of mineral and organic fertilizers to the soil. Indeed, in this type of raspberry, the need for various useful components is several times higher than that of ordinary raspberries.
Before planting, the top layer of the earth should be dug up, after introducing into it the compost, completely decomposed humus, a specially selected complex with fertilizer of mineral composition, which contains an increased number of trace elements. Also, instead of complex fertilizers, it is allowed to use either potassium sulphate or superphosphate. With the help of wood ash, a problem with an insufficient amount of useful compounds and potassium in the soil is solved.
What time of year do you need to plant the plants?
Early spring and late autumn are excellent for planting reedacious raspberry seedlings. So, if the planting is carried out before the third decade of September, then, most likely, it will be difficult for the plant to take root and it is unlikely that it will be able to spend the winter. In the regions that are in the middle Russian strip, raspberries are usually planted, starting from the first days of October until late frosts.
In the process of planting, care must be taken to ensure that the root neck is not buried in the soil - it must be located on the ground surface. As a rule, burial is possible only on light soil types, a maximum of five centimeters.It is necessary to control the degree of thickening of the raspberries and ensure good coverage of the site. The method of planting is determined not only by the raspberry variety, but also by the quality of agricultural technology and soil fertility.
Most of the varieties need to distance between rows from one and a half to two meters. At the same time, the recommended interval between plants is from 70 to 90 centimeters. Through the use of this planting pattern, it is possible to form a series with the guaranteed preservation of the individuality of all the bushes. In addition, it is practiced to create small groups consisting of a maximum of three plants, with a distance of approximately 60 centimeters between them.
Recently, planting dates in the summer season have become especially popular. This is possible when using seedlings that were grown in closed containers. In bushes obtained from young seedlings, the formation of a stronger root system and a well-branched aerial part of the plant is often observed. With such a planting scheme, the crop can be harvested after a few months.
Proper care of planted seedlings
The basic rules for the care of raspberry seedlings of this type are reduced to the implementation of constant and carefully loosening the upper soil layer, providing additional feeding, timely cleaning the raspberry tree from weeds and watering plants.
It is not necessary to allow even the smallest thickening of the shoots, except in cases where the yield of berries deteriorates due to an insufficient number of shoots.
It is necessary to rejuvenate the plantings. To do this, the core is isolated in the bush along with the roots, then a well decomposed humus is added to the resulting well. From the roots that remain, a small strip of shoots is made. Another option is to completely remove the above-ground part of the bush after the onset of prolonged, sustained frosts. With the arrival of spring, young branches will appear - they will begin to bloom in July, and in August they will give a harvest. So, there is a support for the one-year cycle, aimed at improving yields.
Spring mowing is practiced, which should be carried out before the start of intensive sap flow. This procedure reduces the likelihood of plant damage by various fungal diseases.Thus, it is possible to refuse the treatment of shoots with chemicals.
The repair raspberry has one particular difference - the berries can hang on the branches without beginning the process of decay for a long time. Therefore, the crop is usually harvested 1 time in about ten days.
How reproduction raspberry reproduces
This type of raspberry is a bit overgrown and shoots. It breeds with young offsprings and cuttings lignified by root processes. For planting, it is necessary to select seedlings up to thirty centimeters high, which have a strong root system.
The most effective method of reproduction is to obtain a seedling from the root cutting. It is planted in fertile soil with good drainage, enriched with organic fertilizers.
