Belarusian Strawberry Farmer's Secret to Abundant Harvest
Gomel Strawberry Farmer Explains Delayed Runner Production Anya strawberries, a popular remontant variety in Belarus, are experiencing a delay in runner production this year, according to Galina2607, a strawberry farmer from Gomel. In a recent video, Galina explained that she intentionally removed flower stalks from her plants to encourage the growth of runners, essential for propagation. "We removed all the flower stalks to get more runners," Galina said, showing her field of Anya strawberries. This technique is common for remontant varieties, which produce multiple harvests throughout the growing season. Galina also noted the high demand for remontant strawberries, explaining the reason behind her focus on runner production. She plans to plant additional strawberries in a greenhouse during the autumn months to ensure a plentiful supply for the coming year. Galina's video offers a valuable insight into the challenges and techniques involved in strawberry farming in Belarus.
