You can identify the variety by the tall and powerful bushes, while they are compact. Large leaves are colored dark green. It is a vigorous variety that develops quickly. The bushes have a well-developed underground and aboveground parts. Usoobrazovanie - average. Their number is quite enough for reproduction. During the flowering period, the bushes are decorated with whole flowers of medium size. Peduncles are quite strong and strong. They begin to adhere to the ground only before harvesting under the weight of huge berries.

The Primi strawberry is a medium early crop. In the southern regions, the harvest is harvested earlier than in the western and northern regions.

The yield rate of Italian garden strawberries is very high. From one bush, from 2 to 2.5 kilograms of ripe fruits are obtained. Marketability and transportability of berries is high. This means that they will retain their gastronomic quality and appearance during long-term transportation. And also the fruits have a high keeping quality.

Ripe strawberries take on a rich, dark cherry color. The surface is glossy, with a shine. The peculiarity of the variety is the very large size of the berries, the weight of which can range from 80 to 120 grams. The shape is even, oval-conical, some specimens may be elongated. The pulp is very juicy and firm.

The taste of the fruit is sweet, delicate and balanced. Those who managed to taste the harvest of the Primi variety attribute high gastronomic qualities to it. The fruit is complemented by a strawberry-nutmeg aroma.

Note: Universal berries can be stored for up to 5 days in a cool place. They retain their color and shape, do not break down into fibers.

In one place, the bushes are grown for 5-6 years, after which the plantation is renewed and transferred to a new place. The variety is winter hardy, so it will perfectly take root in cold regions. You can start a berry plantation in early spring or early autumn. In areas with a frosty climate, you need to have time to plant seedlings at least a month before the arrival of frost. The bushes must have time to develop the root system and take root in a new place.

It is recommended to adhere to the following landing pattern:

• leave 30 centimeters of free space between the bushes, and 45 centimeters between the rows;

• when planting, the heart must be left flush with the ground so that the plant does not start to rot;

• young plants need to be watered every day for two weeks.

Primi's garden strawberry loves moisture, but it should be watered sparingly. In large areas, it is recommended to use a drip system or special rainwater installations. In hot and dry weather, plants are watered every 2-3 days. Make sure that the topsoil does not dry out.

It is necessary to regularly loosen the soil to a depth of 3-4 centimeters so as not to damage the roots. The root system needs oxygen.If bare roots appear on the surface, they are sprinkled with soil. All weeds on the site are removed.

The plant spends a lot of energy on the formation of whiskers, so they need to be cut off from those bushes that will not be used for reproduction. Strawberries are periodically inspected, dry leaves and broken shoots removed.

The quality and quantity of the crop is strongly influenced by the place of planting. When choosing a site, you must comply with the following requirements:

• bushes should be protected from drafts and strong gusts of wind;

• the best choice is a spacious and well-lit location;

• steep slopes and lowlands are not suitable for fruit crops;

• if raspberries, tomatoes, or potatoes used to grow in the selected area, select another place.

A garden culture from Italy prefers sandy loam and loamy soils, which contain a lot of humus. The optimum acidity level is from 5.2 to 5.5 pH. The earth must be dug up, clearing it of debris and roots. The soil can be fed with wood ash or humus. A bucket of organic matter or a glass of ash is used per square meter.

The buds are rich in pollen, so there are no problems with pollination. During flowering, the bushes are covered with bisexual flowers.

In order for the harvest to be tasty and fragrant, the bushes need to be fed regularly.

Experienced gardeners fertilize the berries 4 times throughout the season.

• Complex formulations with minerals and a high nitrogen content are used in early spring. These components are needed for the growth and development of dense green mass and peduncles. Often used bird droppings in a ratio of 1 to 20 and mullein infusion in a ratio of 1 to 10.

• Before flowering, potassium sulfate or nitrophosphate is used. The drug is diluted with water. 5 and 20 grams are spent on a bucket of liquid, respectively.

• After fruiting, you need to feed the land with organic compounds. Manure demonstrates high efficiency, which is diluted in a ratio of 1 to 8.

• In the middle of the last summer month, wood ash is sprinkled between the bushes. And also watering is carried out.

Note: when fertilizing strawberries, it is imperative to observe the measure, especially when choosing organic dressings.For example, leaves and roots can be burned with fresh manure.

Whether or not to shelter strawberries for the winter is decided depending on the weather conditions. For example, in the North Caucasus or the territory of the Krasnodar Territory, plantations are not sheltered. In other regions of the country, the beds are mulched with compost, and the plants themselves are protected with agrofibre. You can use spruce branches instead.

Italian strawberries have managed to demonstrate themselves as a culture with strong immunity. She is not afraid of common diseases and infections. To maintain good health, you need to follow all the rules of agricultural technology and carefully examine the bushes for symptoms of diseases.

For additional protection of Primi strawberries, you can use various folk remedies.

• A weak manganese solution is sprayed on the bushes after rain. The composition will protect garden strawberries from fungus.

• Plants are planted next to the bushes that repel pests, for example, onions or marigolds. This is a safe way to preserve crops.

Accept it is recommended to propagate with a mustache. The shoots are rooted in plastic pots. With their help, you can get strong and healthy seedlings with a closed root system. Young plants are planted almost immediately in a permanent growing area. When the lateral shoots are rooting, they are separated from the mother plant only after the formation of a new plant.

The second option is division. For this, only three-year-old plants are suitable. Each of their parts must have its own root system.
