The main nuances of growing varieties
Despite the fact that the seedlings are almost always well accustomed, you should pay attention to such moments as Lada pear planting and further care.
In general, the variety is not too whimsical to the soil, however, in order to preserve the yield, poor soil should be fertilized. The most suitable soil for planting the Lada is fertile loose soil( black earth, loam).If the garden is broken up in an area with poor soil for nutrients, the soil must first be enriched with mineral fertilizers and organic matter. At the same time, the amount of fertilizer applied should exceed the normal feedings on nutrient soils.
Pear Lada very sensitive to the lack of trace elements( especially organic).If you do not correct the situation, the tree may soon get sick or even die without surviving the winter.
With regard to the care of the Lada pear variety, special attention should be paid to the irrigation regime. This is due to the fact that the variety has low drought-resistant abilities. In the summer, the tree needs regular watering on the principle of "rarely but abundantly."The most demanding pear in relation to watering during the growth of shoots and ripening fruits - from May to July. Under young trees, at least 30 liters of water should be applied at one time, and up to 50 liters under an adult pear.
In parallel with irrigation, you can feed a pear, with the first application of fertilizer must be carried out before the start of flowering( nitroammofoska or organic).In the future, it is necessary to make at least two additional feeding - when the tree fully flourishes( urea or saltpeter) and after the formation of fruits( urea).
In addition, it is necessary to add wood ash( 150 g) for 1 young trees in the fall. Also prepare pears( both young and old) for wintering, putting a mineral mixture of the following composition( calculated per 1 square meter) in the tree trunk circle:
- 1 tbsp.lpotassium chloride;
- 2 tbsp.lsuperphosphate;
- 10 liters of water.
In general, the variety tolerates direct sunlight, but in the case of too hot and dry summer, young seedlings should be protected from the sun. Otherwise, the foliage may turn black and dry.
According to the description given above( with photos) of the Lada pear variety, it is perfectly suitable for cultivation with the aim of obtaining an early harvest. Despite the fact that the fruits are not stored for a long time after removal, they can stay on the tree for a long time, since they do not crumble. Due to this, the crop can be removed in parts and gradually processed. Several seedlings of this variety to replenish the garden and provide healthy fruit for more than one family.
