Experienced gardeners told why raspberries do not grow well

0

Often, the lack of useful trace elements necessary for normal growth and fruiting of raspberries is judged by the quantity and quality of the harvest. This is not correct. Experienced summer residents have named signs that will help to feed the raspberry bush in time and get a lot of tasty and sweet berries. In fact, the lack of certain nutrients can be judged by the external signs of the leaves and shoots.

Signs of fertilizer deficiency

1. If the leaves on the raspberry have faded or are growing small, this is the first sign of a nitrogen deficiency. This affects the condition of the entire bush.
2. If the unripe berries suddenly begin to fall off, and the bush “gets fat”, this is an overdose of this supplement.
3. If the edges of the leaves begin to dry, curl up and begin to darken, the plant clearly lacks potassium.
4. When raspberries lack phosphorus, this affects not only the bush, but also the berries. In general, the seedling weakens, the shoots become thin, and the harvest is meager.
5. When the leaves begin to turn yellow from the center, the bush needs magnesium-based feeding.
6. If the leaves turn yellow and the veins remain green, it means that the raspberry lacks iron.

In each of these cases, feeding should be carried out unscheduled.
