How to grow a crop

Fairy pear is grown in a standard way for culture. It is necessary to choose the right place for her, land on time, having prepared planting material.

Choice of time and place

It is optimal to plant pear seedlings in March, before the movement of juices, so that before the arrival of cold weather, they have time to take root. The place is chosen sunny, open, but you should not give preference to the lowlands. Moisture accumulates there, rhizome rotting is possible.

The soil has been prepared since autumn, it is plowed with a shovel bayonet. When digging a hole, they throw out the soil on 2 sides - separately the upper and lower layers. Organics or mineral compounds are added to the fertile substrate, mixed.

Preparation of planting material

Seedlings are checked for damage, rejected. The rhizomes are straightened, dipped in a growth stimulator like Epin, Matador, for 30 minutes. Additionally, you can lower the seedlings into a weak manganese solution for the purpose of disinfection.

Fitting technology

It is necessary to plant a pear according to the scheme below.

1. The hole must be at least 60 cm deep and 80 cm wide.
2. A drainage layer of broken bricks, pebbles is placed on the bottom.
3. Introduce humus, compost, water the soil mixture with water.
4. After absorbing moisture, a mound is made in the center, a seedling with an open rhizome is placed on it. Container plants are planted in a recess at the height of the coma.
5. The soil is covered, leaving the root neck above the soil.
6. After, the earth is tamped around the trunk, irrigated with water.

When the trees are weak, they place a support in the middle, tie them to it. To preserve moisture, the trunk circle is mulched with peat, humus, sawdust.

• before the start of the growing season, apply funds based on nitrogen;
• after the withering of the tree - phosphorus-potassium agents;
• in October, after picking the fruits, humus is introduced.

Due to the timely introduction of nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, complex compounds, the yield increases, the quality of fruits increases. You can also add organic matter: compost, manure.

Cutting
