One such fertilizer is iodine.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topsovety.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/495345742_1232617198227118_7562837647536671069_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21812\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today I&#8217;ll tell you how to properly apply this fertilizer and what effect it has on our strawberries. The iodine solution accelerates the growth of the plants, making them a richer green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, you will notice that the number of berries will increase, and the berries themselves will be much larger.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topsovety.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/imgpreview-76-500x289-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21809\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the effect of iodine on seedlings has not yet been fully studied, it is known that it is a normalizer and regulator of nitrogen metabolism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iodine is also involved in the synthesis of proteins and amino acids, which directly impacts crop yield. Most fertilizer manufacturers now include iodine in complex formulations, confirming its effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topsovety.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/imgpreview-2-64-500x283-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21811\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has been established that iodine is most effectively absorbed by seedlings through their leaves. Therefore, I recommend watering the plants from a watering can, directly on the foliage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To prepare the fertilizer, you will need only a few minutes: dilute 10 drops of iodine in 10 liters of water and water the plants.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topsovety.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/imgpreview-3-52-500x301-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21810\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, you can increase the fertilizer to provide the plants with additional nutrition. Add 2 tablespoons of sifted ash and a pinch of potassium permanganate to the iodine water to provide the plants with additional nutrients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strawberries simply love this type of feeding, and you will be able to get a larger and more productive harvest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As an experienced gardener, I strive to get the most out of my plants, so I always apply a few unconventional fertilizers to my strawberry plants early in the spring.
