Gray rot on strawberries: how to save the harvest with effective methods.

The appearance of gray rot on strawberry bushes is a common problem for gardeners. To combat this pest, it is important to know which factors contribute to the emergence of rot and how to act correctly to save the berry harvest.

Gray rot can appear because strawberry bushes are grown in poorly lit and poorly ventilated areas. Another reason may be the failure to clean up old vegetation. Improper mulching or its absence can also lead to rot infection.

What to do if gray rot appears on strawberries

To reduce the risk of gray rot infection, it is important to harvest the crop in a timely manner and dispose of affected berries. It is also recommended to treat the soil with wood ash under the strawberry bushes. During the plant's vegetation, special preparations such as 'Fundazol', 'Horos', 'Teldor', and 'Switch' should be used. At the end of the season, it is important to remove damaged leaves and prepare for the new growing season.
