Today it can be found in Western and Eastern Siberia, in the forest and forest-steppe and zone of our country, Ukraine, the Caucasus and Central Asia.

Main characteristics and description Victoria variety:

Victoria refers to the hybrid varieties derived from the crossing of the Virgin and Chilean strawberries.

Victoria has several types of shoots - horns, mustache and flowers. The first of them are represented by a short arrow, on the top of which the kidney is located. Second-type shoots are raised on the ground. They are used by dackets as processes intended for breeding (division) of culture. The third type of shoots (blooms) are presented in the form of arrows emerging from generative kidney.
In the inflorescence there are 5 petals. Flowers Victoria with flowers of white shade. Then the flowerons grow up, forming the cobs of the fruit. Of these, then grow tasty and juicy berries of red.

Further, the soil on the site and potassium enriched mineral dressings.
Victoria planting is carried out in several rows. Seedlings must be present between the distance of not less than 25 cm width of aisle typically -. Deepen seedling 75-85 cm into the ground at 20 cm then sprinkled its ground...
After seedling is planted, the ground must be compacted at a portion between the rows and, conversely, loosen. Then watered seedlings.
In winter, the seedlings should be warm. To do this, use manure or straw.

If planting is carried out in the spring, the site should be prepared previously in October. To do this, dig up the soil, remove the roots of weeds. The process is the same as the autumn and planting Victoria.

How to care for Victoria in the fall garden

Care Victoria autumn is in the following events:

Gardening of garden Victoria in autumn

Victoria reproduction depends on its variety. Basically, most of the types after the end of fruiting throw away the mustache, which are used for reproduction. Becid varieties of strawberries are multiplied by dividing the bush or sowing a seed material.

Usami reproduction is most commonly applicable when cultivating culture and gives quite good results. The procedure for reproduction is as follows:

The field of how the bush finishes fruiting, it produces a mustache, at the end of which rosettes are formed with leaves. They are leaning to the soil and sprinkle with loose soil in such a way that it does not get into the core of the socket.
After that, it is watered and left for time until it is rooted. When the socket locks the root, it is cut off from the bush, carefully dig and transplant to a new place. In some cases, they are not transplanted on an open place, but on the so-called growing bed.
It is defined in order to be covered with agrofiber or Loutrasil to protect the rapid seedlings from entering direct sunlight. When transplanting on sockets, no more than 3-4 sheets are left, all the others are simply cut. Transplanted seedlings to the "working" garden only at the end of September, canopy from the Sun can be removed in 2-3 weeks.

Quite often, novice gardeners prefer to buy prepared seedlings. It is better to do this in proven breeders, otherwise such a step is comparable to buy a "cat in a bag". If the decision to purchase seedlings is made, it is necessary to pay attention to its quality. A normal seedling should be well developed, to melt at least 4 leaves and long roots (at least 4 cm). The horn of a good bush should be powerful.

Growing Victoria from seeds is used by frequent gardens quite rarely. Basically, green farms and agrofirms are engaged in such a method of breeding. Seeds are breeding those varieties that do not allow the mustache.

Procedure for breeding on this technique:

The disembarkation is produced at home in a container with a compost. Seeds of plants are slightly pressed into the wet compost, after which they are covered with glass.
For 3 days after sowing, the capacity must be put into the refrigerator to the bottom compartment, and then remove and move to a warm place with a temperature of approximately + 20 ° C.
The first shootouts of strawberries should appear in about a month. As soon as it happened, you can remove the glass and move the container with seedlings to a more illuminated place.
Saplings picking are produced when 3-4 sheets appear on them. After that, they are moved to peat pots and leave to grow to the moment when it is possible to plant them into open ground. To do this, he must be warm enough. The transplant seedlings on the bed is only when the probability of frosts is too small.

Also, vaccine varieties of Victoria breed with the help of the division of the bush. To do this, after the fertility period, it is necessary to choose the most powerful bush, carefully dig it, without damaging the root system, and smoke the ground. After that, the bush is divided in such a way that the horn, long and developed white roots remained on each of the parts, and 3-4 sheets. Then the old roots are cut from both parts and they can be planted in an open ground. Thus, from one bush of Victoria, 2 or even 3 full-fledged plants.

Pruning garden Victoria in autumn

Although many believe that the victory does not follow, motivating this by the fact that the leaves give additional energy to the Kuste. However, this is not the case. A large number of leaves and mustache with sockets, on the contrary, will take a lot of juices at the plant, so it is not necessary to run bushes. For the winter, it is also impossible to leave a bush without leaves. That is why Victoria needs to trim on time so that the bushes to grow new foliage to the first frosts. At this plant will take up to two months, so the trimming is better to start in mid-August.

Young you can not cut. For bushes 1-2 years of growth, this procedure will deliver more trouble than good.

After the completion of the pruning procedure, the Victoria bushes is treated with insecticides and fungicides. Also conduct several abundant irrigation, weeding the beds and the removal of weeds.

Diseases and pests Victoria Sadovaya

Like most fruit plants, Victoria strawberries are exposed to various diseases and pests. Among the first most common are:

Phytoofluorosis. Fitofluorosis sick of Victoria bush can be found on the fading of the leaves. The disease itself amazes the root system of the plant. To prevent the disease, it is necessary to observe crop rotation, check the seedlings before landing. When signs of the disease, it is necessary to treat the plants with tripides, using a drip irrigation system, and the soil is treated with quadris or radomyl.
Gray rot. This disease is distributed almost everywhere. First of all, the fungus, which is its root cause affects berries and flowers. The cause of the disease is high humidity on the plot and its bad ventilability. The prevention of the disease is to normalize the mode of watering, and processing the site by the following drugs: derosal, EUPares, Topxin M. The sick plants are mandatory removed from the site and burned.
Puffy dew. This disease develops on the bottom plastic sheet and affects flowers, leaves, mustache and plant berries. Determined by the presence of loose plates on infected areas of the plant. Then the stains will grow into necrosis, and the plant gradually dies. In the presence of signs of the disease, it is necessary to carry out the processing of the bed with the help of Fundazola or Bayleton.

Victoria's pests are also enough:

Weevil (strawberry and raspberry and rope-leaf). These bugs are a real attack for Victoria's beds. Actively multiplying, they begin to eat leaves and flowers of plants. So in the launched cases you can remain without harvest. The prevention of the disease is carried out by treating the beds with a carbophos, confident or decisis. Do it twice: before the start of flowering and after collecting berries.
Strawberry tick. The pest damages the leaves of the plant. His actions lead to the degradation of the berries and the death of the whole bush. The special activity of the ticks is shown at the end of summer. The sick plants in early spring spray with a solution of colloidal sulfur, and a week before the flowering of Nero.
