In summer, the taste is ordinary, but at the end of the season it becomes saturated strawberry. |
For quick return of the crop with intensive technology, strawberry seedlings are used according to the method frigo, having a strongly developed one-year matured root system and a multitude of horns - future flower stalks. Frigo is stored in refrigeration in a forced rest. The seedling is not depleted and is not exposed to extreme environmental conditions in the winter. At the same time in the case of bulk purchases its cost is acceptable.
According to the quality, frigo seedlings are divided into 4 classes:
- A ++ (extra class) - the highest potential yield and 100% survival rate, fruiting in the year of planting. Due to the high cost demanded by farms and greenhouses;
- A + - fruits in the first year, can be used for the autumn laying of the plantation, available to some summer residents and small farmers for commercial cultivation of berries;
- And - the average productivity (laid 2 - 3 peduncles) in the year of planting with good care, at a price available to amateur gardeners;
- B - after planting, flower stalks are removed, intended for harvesting in subsequent years after the root system has been built up.
By purchasing frigo seedlings of any class, depending on the goals, you can count on a good survival rate of strawberries, high yields and the absence of pests and infections. But for this you need to choose the manufacturer responsibly and check the quality certificates. In any case, additional disinfection does not hurt.
Have a good harvest!
