Specifications
"Lada" is considered samoplodnym grade.
The best pollinators for him are Rogneda, Severyanka, Chizhovskaya, Cosmic and Otradnenskaya.
The presence of any of these varieties at the site significantly increases the yield and quality of the fruit.
Variety "Lada" is considered skoroplodnysince already for 2-4 years after planting is able to bring a good harvest.
Mature tree with proper care and regular pruning on average brings about 50 kg of pears every year.
High yields bring such varieties of pears: Hera, Noyabrskaya, In memory of Zhegalov and Yakovlevskaya.
REFERENCE: A very low transportability during transportation and the impossibility of long storage can be attributed to a clear lack of variety.
Winter hardiness varieties at a high level. Trees in winter you can not even coversince it is not required at all. Given the overall thermophilicity of this culture, such resistance to low temperatures is rare.
The winter-hardy varieties include pears: Sverdlovchanka, Fairy Tale, Uralochka and Svarog.
Planting and care
When planting seedlings must take into account the time of year. Ideal if you plant a young tree in the spring. It is not recommended to plant in the autumn, because of possible weak rooting in the autumn-winter period.
ATTENTION: Seedlings purchased in nurseries should not be older than two years. In the opposite case, root survival sharply decreases.
The variety is not very whimsical to the choice of soil, therefore, distributed almost everywhere. But the most favorable soils for growing "Lada" are black earth, forest and loamy.
Before planting, organic fertilizers should be applied to the pit, such as compost, potassium salt and superphosphateand then loosen the soil well.
The dimensions of the pit should somewhat exceed the size of the rhizome, so that the plant is freely located during planting. The approximate dimensions of the pit 70x100, respectively, the depth and diameter.
REFERENCE: For the formation of a smooth and regular crown, next to the seedling drive a stake, which should protrude from the ground by 60 cm.
The root neck when planting must necessarily look at 5-7 cm, and root shoots are neatly straightened and sprinkled with the ground in which the seedlings were grown.
At the final stage, the ground around the tree is compacted and watered abundantly. Around it is necessary to pour a little manure or humus. After all that has been done, the trunk of the tree should be carefully tied to a peg previously dug in.
The tree should often be watered only during periods of prolonged drought, because too frequent watering can damage the root system and cause various diseases. Up to the complete destruction of the plant. Watering should be carried out abundantly, two or three buckets of water under one tree.
In the spring, after wintering the plant, it is necessary to feed it with nitrogen fertilizers.. This should be done after the snow melts and the weather is dry.
Dry or damaged branches that form after the winter period are removed. The stem part of the stem is processed mainly with iron oxide or lime.
In the fall, mineral fertilizers are best suited.that contribute in October. The period of hibernation also requires care. It is necessary to ensure that during the thaw the sleet does not stick to the branches.
The severity of the snowy icy cover can easily break thin branches. Shelter trunk for the winter is not required this type of pear, because of his high frost resistance.
REFERENCE: In the first year of fruiting, the excess young ovaries must be thinned to form the correct tree crown.
