In the second half of summer, gladioli become one of the main cut flower crops. It is not easy to get a high-quality cut of inflorescences and at the same time grow a well-ripened corm, which will continue the further flower life.
Instructions
Step 1
The first feeding of gladioli is usually carried out when the plants have two leaves, a month after planting the bulbs. All applied dressings are carried out only in liquid form. 0, 5 tbsp. tablespoons of urea, 0.5 tbsp. tablespoons of potassium sulfate, 0.5 liters of chicken manure extract, dissolve in 10 liters of water and add to 1 square meter of plantings.
Step 2
We do the second feeding when the plants have three leaves.
0, 25 Art. tablespoons of urea, 0.5 tbsp. tablespoons of potassium sulfate, 1 tbsp. a spoonful of complex soluble fertilizer (Solution or Crystallin), 0.5 liters of chicken manure extract, mix in 10 liters of water and fertilize plants per 1 sq.m.
Step 3
At the end of June, you can start prophylaxis against fungal diseases of gladioli. Diseases such as botrytis and hard rot are best prevented beforehand without waiting for a fungal outbreak. 1 tbsp. a spoon of Homa (copper oxychloride) must be dissolved in 10 liters of water and sprayed with plants.
Step 4
When the fifth sheet appears, add a solution: 1 tbsp. a spoonful of mineral fertilizer (Solution or Crystallin), 1 tbsp. a spoonful of potassium sulfate - dissolve in 10 liters of water, feed the plants per 1 sq.m. At the same time, it is good to do foliar feeding on the leaves, so that the composition contains zinc sulfate and boric acid, 1-2 g per 10 liters of water.
Step 5
When the flower arrow begins to form, we exclude nitrogen fertilizers in the dressing. 1 tbsp. spoon of potassium sulfate, 0.5 tbsp. spoon of superphosphate - mix in 10 liters of water and water the gladioli. To obtain not only a high-quality cut, but also a high-quality corm, gladioli need potassium. Potassium sulfate is the best fertilizer because it does not contain chlorine.
Step 6
The last feeding is carried out at the end of August, 3-4 weeks before the bulbs are dug. 1 tbsp. a spoonful of potassium sulfate, 5 g of copper sulfate we dilute in 10 liters of water and water the plants.
