• Loosening of the soil around each plant, with a dusting of the exposed roots.
• Feeding and disinfection of plants by watering them from a watering can with a warm solution (65 ° C) of potassium permanganate and boric acid.
• Preventive treatment of plants from gray rot with iodine solution (10 drops per 10 liters of water).
• Feeding plants with complex fertilizers (Effect, Vita, Stimul, Kemira, etc.). On a bush, 2 liters of solution from 1-2 tbsp. spoons of complex fertilizer in a bucket of water.

• Watering once every 10 days.
• Top dressing with ash 1 time in 10 days, sprinkling around the bush and in the aisles.
• Mustache trimming once every 2 weeks.
• Loosening of row spacings - once every 10 days.

Before flowering and during the growth of ovaries(July):

• Foliar feeding of plants with a solution of micronutrients.
• Top dressing with infusion of mullein or bird droppings (1 liter per bucket of water with the addition of 1/2 glass of ash).
• Watering after flowering, while pouring berries and after harvesting.
• Garter bushes, mulching, wire pulling.

After harvest (immediately!)(August):

• Cutting of old leaves, peduncles, whiskers.
• Abundant watering of the plants (10 days after the destruction of old leaves).

Large oval berries. Berries of the first harvest reach 34 g. Berries of subsequent harvests do not change their shape, but are slightly smaller. The pulp of berries is sweet and sour taste, juicy, red, with aroma.

Productivity - up to 1.5 kg / sq.m.

In the first collection, their weight reaches 35 g, but in subsequent collections they shrink to 12-14 g, but the correct oval shape is preserved. Berries of the Tsarskoselskaya variety are well gelled, which makes them an excellent raw material for processing.

The highest yield of the variety is 1.8 kg / sq.m.

The variety is winter-hardy, resistant to fungal diseases and wilt diseases.

Marvelous

The variety is of medium ripening. Tall, compact, medium leafy bushes. Since large leaves are located on a thick long petiole, and multi-flowered, semi-spreading inflorescences are located on long, thick, sparsely pubescent peduncles, the bush is well blown by the wind.
