Most of the varieties of strawberries have already finished fruiting, so it is worth starting the arrangement of the plantations.If we do not intend to collect seedlings growing on runners, cut them off and remove.We weed the inter-rows of weeds.
Older, 2- and 3-year-old shrubs are often infected with fungal diseases. Such plants can be treated with a simple phytosanitary treatment, i.e. mowing the leaves.This way we will remove the source of diseases and pests, which will improve the he alth of the shrubs.After cutting the old leaves and raking them, soon new, he althy leaves will appear on the plants.
With proper care until fall, strawberries will grow enough to produce a good harvest the following year. However, let's remember two rules. The first one concerns the date of the treatment, which should be performed immediately after fruiting.
Secondly, cut the leaves so as not to damage the growth cones, i.e. the place from which they grow.When mowing and raking the beds, the remains of rotten fruit are also removed from the bushes which are the source of gray mold.
