The abundance of fruiting depends on the quality of the planting material. Seedlings must be grown exclusively from the first outlets of healthy and strong bushes. If the seedlings are not grown independently, then they must be purchased in specialized stores, nurseries or from familiar farmers.

Basic rules for planting strawberries Chamora Turusi:

  • First of all, you need to choose a landing site and prepare it in advance. Organic fertilizers and a nitrogen-mineral complex must be added to the soil. The optimal time for disembarkation is spring.
  • The most common planting pattern is 35 * 60 cm.In heavily thickened plantations, the likelihood of developing fungal diseases significantly increases, the abundance of fruiting decreases, and insect pests take root.
  • The plant is demanding on the composition of the soil - extremely fertile and light soil, Chamora Turusi does not react well to excess nitrogen, does not need to introduce a large amount of humus - and without that the leaves and root system are powerful. The optimal formulations for feeding the variety are potassium-phosphate fertilizers (Kristallon, Rostkontsentrat).

Planting and leaving

That the Chamora Turusi variety does not like

  • High humidity and excessively frequent watering have a detrimental effect on the taste of the fruit. The pulp loses its structure, becomes watery, acidity and sugar content decrease. Such fruits can no longer be transported, they will simply turn into porridge.
  • The culture does not tolerate thickening. When planting, the interval between the bushes should be at least 30 cm. This is due to the active formation of a mustache and a powerful root system. The interval between mature bushes should be approximately 50-60 cm.
  • Deficiency of moisture leads to crumbling of fruits, they do not ripen.
