We fight pests and diseases with folk remedies. The fight against aphids folk remedies

Hello dear readers!

We met with all the main methods of protecting plants from diseases and pests in. It remains to talk about folk remedies for plant protection, which are preferable to other methods, unless, of course, they help to cope with the problems.

Get rid of all kinds harmful insects and ticks that pounce in hordes on beds, berry bushes and fruit trees, various herbal infusions, decoctions and others can help gardeners and gardeners. True, their effectiveness is somewhat lower than pesticides (toxic chemicals), and they do not act on all pests, but they are much safer than chemicals: they do not accumulate in plants, quickly lose their toxic properties, and do not harm the environment.

The toxic properties of plants used for this purpose depend on next moments: collection time and weather. The bulk of herbs should be collected in the flowering or budding phase. Plants whose raw material is the root should be harvested in early spring or autumn.

Herbs should be harvested in dry weather, when there is no dew on the plants. Collect only healthy plants. Bulbs and rhizomes used for decoctions and infusions are well cleaned and washed cold water. After harvesting, the plants should be dried well in a well-ventilated area, and preferably under a canopy, tying them in small bunches and hanging on a rope or spread out thin layer.

Dry herbs intended for pollination of plants are ground into powder, and for the preparation of infusions and decoctions, they are roughly crushed, poured into hot or warm water, after which they insist for a certain time or boil. cooked infusions and decoctions can be stored by tightly closing the container and placing it in a cool place (with proper storage and storage, they can retain toxic properties for up to two months).

Apply infusions and decoctions, with rare exceptions, on the day of their preparation, preferably in cloudy weather, and even better in the evening. Their impact on harmful organisms is enhanced by the addition of adhesives to them: soap, glue, molasses. Repeat the processing of garden and horticultural crops after 5-7 days (as needed). There are from 3 to 5 such treatments per season. Efficacy data folk remedies for plant protection contradictory.

Have a rich harvest!

Garden plantings are attacked from all sides - if you do not have time to exterminate insects and pathogens, then the crop may be completely lost. Ruddy apples and juicy cherries are guarded by preparations for combating garden pests and plant diseases, designed specifically for protection. Detailed Instructions and the calendar of treatments should be known to every gardener. Study the recommendations and put them into practice within the specified time frame.

For growing a rich harvest of fruit crops, a system for protecting the garden from pests and diseases by agrochemical and agrotechnical methods remains an indispensable condition. And it should be exactly the system, and not random processing from time to time. To do this, you should draw up an annual work plan for garden plantings and strictly follow it.

All plants have certain stages of development. Insects also go through cycles of transformation. In some periods of life, both are especially vulnerable. Given this fact, a work plan is drawn up in order to maximally influence those phases of insects in which they are more sensitive to spraying with drugs.

Protecting the garden with agrochemical methods

Used to treat orchards various methods:

• agrotechnical;
• agrochemical;
• biological;
• mechanical.

Stages of development of insects

To preserve the health of humans and birds, preference is given to biological methods. But there are situations when chemical treatment is necessary and even mandatory in order to comprehensive protection garden from pests and diseases worked flawlessly.

It is preferable not to run the garden, not to allow pathogens and insects to take up residence on your trees. For these purposes, prophylaxis is carried out for tree and shrub crops from pests and diseases by any possible means. If a set of preventive measures is carried out on time, then subsequent treatments are minimized - regular preventive work.

To protect the garden from pests, they begin spraying trees and shrubs in the fall immediately after harvesting the fruits. At this time, it is important to massively exterminate the egg-laying insects, the nests in which they settled on hibernation, get rid of intermediate hosts - weeds, growths of lichens and mosses - hotbeds of fungal diseases.

Beautiful healthy garden

Critical importance has a garden treatment in the spring from pests and diseases, it begins long before the buds swell. This includes a whole range of works leading to the destruction of overwintered individuals, the prevention of diseases and the impossibility of relocating pests from other places to your plantings.

Pest and disease control

The fight against hordes of insects and diseases begins with the planting of healthy seedlings purchased from a nursery, where all planting material is properly processed. To reduce damage by insects and pathogens, planting of zoned varieties that are bred specifically for the corresponding region can.

The next most important are preventive actions. They are followed by regular spraying with pesticides, biological products and mixtures of various substances to disinfect garden plantings.

Preparations and their use

Garden Treatment Products

Start processing garden plot in the fall, after fruit picking and the end of leaf fall. The most common drugs are urea, Bordeaux liquid, iron and copper sulfate.

1. Another multifunctional preparation for the treatment of garden plantings is iron sulfate. It is used for scab, cytosporosis. The timely treatment of the garden from pests and diseases with iron sulphate pursues two goals at once - the destruction of pathogens and the supply of additional iron to the plant.
2. Copper sulphate solution is used as an active fungicide. Plants are carefully sprayed against powdery mildew, spotting, moniliosis, scab and a number of other fungal diseases. Proper handling garden blue vitriol can triple the yield of fruit crops.

Preparations of copper and iron sulphate irreplaceable

Biological preparations for the garden plot

Many gardeners spray their nurseries with a huge amount of pesticides, often forgetting about the sense of proportion and own health. Among the wide variety of pesticides on store shelves, there are those that are not dangerous to human health. These are biological preparations for the garden, which are conditionally divided into two groups:

• agents that kill the pathogen or insect;
• drugs that act on a plant in such a way that it increases immunity and the ability to resist a disease or insect.

Biological products for plants

Weakened plants suffer the most from diseases and insect attacks. On the shelves there is a wide variety of biological products for horticultural crops. Some of them are discussed below.

« healthy garden". Plants become less susceptible to scab and powdery mildew pathogens. The tool protects against damage by codling moths, sawfly, aphids. Increases drought resistance of plants. Reduces the content of nitrates in fruits. It is produced in the form of granules containing, in addition to the active substance, potassium, magnesium, sodium. To prepare a solution, two granules are dissolved per liter of water. Spray trees three times a season.

Mikosan. Actively increases plant immunity. The drug obtained from the extract of the tinder fungus contains substances that, moving through the vessels of the plant, act on the cell walls of most pathogenic fungi. In this case, the cell walls become permeable and die.

However, the drug does not have any effect on the beneficial microflora, increases resistance, which contributes to the rapid growth of green parts. The product is available in the form of a preparation for treatment planting material("Mikosan-N") and for spraying adult plantings ("Mikosan V"). Instructions are included in the package.

Ecoberin

Ecoberin. It is used when spraying trees to increase immunity, drought resistance, and increase resistance to diseases and pests. The substance cleanses cultures of poisons, salts heavy metals rejuvenates plants. Improves the taste of fruits.

Fungicides and their effectiveness

In modern defense systems garden plants from pests and diseases, they certainly include fungicides, without which full-fledged chemical protection is impossible.

An incredible increase in the incidence of scab, coccomycosis, fusarium, sulfur and other types of rot, all kinds of leaf spots, fruit moniliosis, leads to significant crop losses.

Various drugs have been developed against fungi. Fungicides are divided into systemic and contact. Systemic agents penetrate into the internal tissues of the plant and act from the inside. Contacts remain on the surface of leaves, branches and trunk. They act on pathogens only with direct contact.

Treating the garden with fungicides

Contact fungicides - polycarbacin, cineb, copper oxychloride, mancozeb cannot cure a diseased plant, but they perfectly protect healthy specimens from pathogens. To do this, it is enough to carefully spray the garden. Moreover, the foliage is treated from below and from above, since many fungi begin to germinate precisely from the bottom of the leaf.

The disadvantage of such reagents is that the first heavy rain washes off the active substance and you have to repeat the treatment.

Systemic fungicides plants outside and inside. They treat, but in the very early stages of infection. After spraying the garden after a few hours, the rain will not be able to wash off the reagent, as it has penetrated into the plant.

After that, the drug works up to three weeks. The main disadvantage was that pathogenic fungi quickly get used to the substance. To reduce this factor, gardens are treated with the same reagent no more than twice during the growing season. They can be alternated with contact preparations or with systemic, but having a different chemical formula.

Copper oxychloride

Such alternating spraying is considered the most effective way to combat diseases of fruit plantations.

A whole list fungicides are recommended for these purposes: Vectra, Granite, Derozal, Rubigan, Folpan, Horus, Strobi. There are multi-component tools that act immediately contact and systemically: "Acrobat MC", "Pylon", "Oxyhom", "Arcerid" and others. Systemic, but related to different groups: "Falcon", "Archer", "Mikal".

New generation drugs

Scientific developments are constantly underway to produce new generations of pesticides. But today's requirements are so complex and high that the pace of development of the industry has slowed down. However, new preparations for the control of pests in the garden and garden are available on the shelves of the respective stores.

Cherry moniliosis

Here are a few of them:

• "Tsineb" is a full-fledged substitute for Bordeaux liquid in the fight against apple and pear scab. It is used on pome and stone fruits in the same terms as Bordeaux liquid. Very toxic to humans.
• "Selinon" - designed to fight against suckers, scale insects, aphids, anthracnose, scab, American powdery mildew. Serious safety measures are observed during work, as it is poisonous to warm-blooded animals.
• "Ftalan 50%" - effective against scab, powdery mildew and other diseases of fungal origin. The tool can be used with most other pesticides, except for alkaline ones. Not dangerous for warm-blooded animals.
• "Efirosulfonate" - a drug for the destruction of herbivorous mites. Kills eggs and young larvae, but has little effect on adults. It is insoluble in water, but when stirred it forms a stable suspension, which remains on the foliage for a long time. Because of this, it has time to act on different phases of development of ticks from eggs to larvae. May cause burns of vegetative parts of plants if atmospheric humidity is high. Therefore, it is better to use it on already coarsened leaves.

Stone fruit coccomycosis

Do-it-yourself mixtures for processing cottages

To save time on processing garden plantings, many gardeners prepare the so-called "tank" mixtures, that is, cooked in one tank.

For example, it works well for garden trees and shrubs a mixture of "Aktara", "Topaz" and "Zircon". At the same time, insects and various diseases are destroyed.

A mixture of copper oxychloride and Fufanon treats trees from diseases until the buds open, which reliably prevents infection by fungal pathogens and eliminates many pests.

For protection against sunburn or late frosts, as well as preventing the appearance of aphids and fungi, prepare a tank mixture from the preparations "Healthy Garden" and "Ecoberin", taking 40 granules of each. This effect also leads to increased growth of the vegetative parts of plants.

Any tank mixture is consumed only on the day of manufacture. Processing is carried out at low atmospheric humidity, without wind.

You can combine in the tank mixture:

• growth stimulants, fertilizers, pesticides;
• growth stimulants, live biopreparations, fertilizers.

Attention! If during the preparation of the tank mixture flakes fall out or the solution separates, then this mixture should not be used. It is most likely dangerous to humans and plants.

tank mix

Until now, a lime-sulphur solution has been successfully prepared and used to combat pests in gardens. It is not easy to prepare it, but the effect will not keep you waiting.

1. For 17 liters of water, two liters of ground sulfur and one liter of quicklime are measured.
2. Lime is quenched in a small volume of water without violent boiling. As soon as the lime is warmed up, sulfur is added to it, stirred and the rest of the water is poured in.
3. The resulting mixture is boiled for 50 minutes until a red-brown color is obtained, under the lid.
4. While boiling, gradually add water to the original volume.
5. Stop topping up 15 minutes before the end.
6. The cooled broth is filtered through the canvas and poured into storage in glass container or enamel containers.

Effective for garden pest and disease control against most pests.

Video: The main types of garden spraying

1. From the very beginning of spring until the buds swell, garden plantings are treated for diseases with copper sulphate mixed with slaked lime. In this way, prevention of the occurrence of cytosporosis, ordinary and black cancer, as well as from tinder fungi is achieved.
2. In the phase of the "green cone" of the kidneys, spraying with Bordeaux liquid from fungal pathogens is carried out. Protection against aphids, flower beetles, suckers is carried out by "Decis", "Tanrek", "Fufanon". The preparations "Strobi", "Abiga-Peak", "Skor" are sprayed against clasterosporiasis, leaf spots, rust, cytosporosis, scab, moniliosis.
3. Rosebud phase. Aphids, leafworms, tinnitus appear. Weevil, flower beetle, California scale insect. Of the diseases, scab and bacterial cancer begin to develop. Sprayed with preparations "Aktara", "BI-58", "Decis". Bordeaux liquid works well for diseases.
4. At the beginning of flowering, plants are treated with Karbofos-500, Gamair, Abiga-Pik, Euparen-M from ticks and weevils. Also from fusarium, alternariosis, moniliosis.
5. After flowering is completed, Fufanon, Abiga-Peak, Raek, Fitoverm, Cumulus will be used against activated caterpillars, leafworms, codling moths and ticks.
6. The following treatments are carried out before the beginning of the fruit ripening period with Fufanon, Inta-Vir, Vertimek, Iskra against aphids, weevils, suckers, codling moths, sawflies, powdery mildew.
7. In autumn, after harvesting, they carry out preventive spraying of the garden with copper and iron sulphate.

Table of garden treatment from pests and diseases

A well-designed system for treating the garden from pests and diseases, strict compliance with the deadlines for this system leads to the desired result - obtaining healthy, beautiful and tasty fruits.

It takes a lot of energy from gardeners, sometimes without bringing desired result. Today we’ll talk about folk remedies for pest control, time-tested, which will really give results and benefits to garden crops.

All gardeners, first of all, try to get an environmentally friendly product from their plots, so folk remedies will help in the fight against pests and fit plants as best as possible, and will not harm the human body.

The main thing is to be on time, to process the plants even in the period initial stage pest development. Then folk remedies will help. But when there are too many pests, only application can help. chemicals plant protection. Therefore, watch your plants and start processing in a timely manner.

Table - folk remedies against plant pests

Infusions, in the recipes of which the shelf life is not indicated, are used on the day of preparation.

For the preparation of infusions, use a 10-liter bucket. Strain the resulting infusion. Processing of plants is carried out in the spring by the kidneys, then at the beginning of flowering.

As soon as young leaves begin to curl at the ends of the branches - main feature the appearance of aphids, do not miss this moment.

The sooner you notice pests, the better for the plants and for us.

I wish that in your gardens and vegetable gardens there were as few pests as possible!

AT recent times we, as specialists and state plant protection inspectors, began to face another problem - the untimely and ill-considered use of plant protection chemicals in the garden. Fortunately, chemicals can now be bought everywhere. This can lead to serious consequences - the accumulation of residual amounts of poisons in products and poisoning of humans and animals.

Mistakes in the use of chemicals in the country

Quite often we are faced with the misuse of chemical plant protection products. For example, some complain that they did not achieve an effect in the fight against scab by treating apples with karbofos, infusions of pepper and wormwood. Others complain that they sprayed the trees 10 times different drugs, as a result, the fruits fell off, the leaves withered. Unfortunately, such examples, when the use of chemicals does not give the desired effect, are not isolated. And it is not the drugs that are to blame, but those who use them or use them for other purposes and without observing the consumption rate.

Chemical means of protection are not omnipotent: they can give an effect when agricultural technology is observed, varieties are grown, if not completely resistant, then at least relatively little susceptible to harmful organisms.

Unfortunately, already when laying the site, many make mistakes, which subsequently cause the mass reproduction of pests and diseases. It is clear the desire to plant as many as possible on four or six acres different cultures, and gardeners do this without considering that plants also need living space.

While the plantations of fruit trees and berry bushes in the garden are young, this error does not seem to be noticeable. But then grief begins: trees and bushes close, berry bushes form thickets. Little light enters the site, aeration is disturbed, the soil warms up poorly, and the activity of beneficial soil organisms decreases.

After the closing of the crowns and the growth of berry bushes, the planting area for annual crops decreases, which limits the crop rotation.

If, in addition, the owner of the garden does not prune trees and bushes, does not thin out crowns, does not remove fallen leaves and affected fruits, does not remove weeds and various debris, then the possibility of the appearance of foci of pests and diseases increases more and more. Under such conditions, the use of even the best chemicals does not give positive results.

The effect of the use of chemical and biological means of protection can be high if they are used strictly for their intended purpose, taking into account their action against a specific harmful organism, stages of development.

So, karbofos does not suppress scab pathogens, but only reduces the number of first instars of leafworms, hawthorn and sawflies, at the same time it is non-toxic for older larvae (caterpillars), butterflies, and eggs of these insects.

Decoctions and infusions of the fruits of bitter varieties of capsicum are recommended to combat aphids, suckers, slugs; a decoction of wormwood has a detrimental effect on the caterpillars of the codling moth, the larvae of the Colorado potato beetle. However, these infusions and decoctions do not affect the development of scab.

Chemical plant protection products in the garden should be used as a last resort, when it is not possible to reduce the number of pests in other ways.

It should be noted that many crops in the garden are not allowed to be treated with pesticides - dill, parsley, parsnips, celery and other green crops, as well as onions for feathers, strawberries and raspberries during the fruiting period.

The buyer needs to know that the trading organization must have a license for the right to trade in pesticides, and the packaging of the drug or the attached instructions should contain the relevant information: a list of crops allowed to be processed, drug consumption rates for each crop, frequency of use, the last treatment period.

Pesticide label in without fail must have the registration number of the State Chemical Commission.

The manufactured drugs do not have universal action, some can be used against pests, others against diseases of garden and garden crops.

Plant protection products

We offer brief classification chemical and biological preparations used to increase plant immunity and protect against damage from pests and diseases in private farms:

1. Insecticides are chemical and biological agents for the control of harmful insects.
2. Acaricides are chemical agents against ticks. Insecticides and acaricides are not used for preventive purposes. They are used directly against harmful stages of insects and mites that have inhabited plants.
3. Rodenticides are preparations for the control of rodents.
4. Fungicides are preparations for the control of plant diseases. Some drugs of this group are effectively used for prophylactic purposes against the wintering stages of pathogens. The main part of fungicides has a contact action, i.e. protects the treated plant from infection by pathogens. Their contact infected plants are not treated. Therefore, it is important to apply fungicides at the very beginning of the manifestation of diseases.
5. Biotechnical agents are color and glue traps and sex pheromones (substances that attract male harmful insects). These tools are used to identify, trap and destroy adults of certain types of harmful insects.
6. Growth regulators are chemical and biological agents used to increase the immunity of plants and regulate their growth.
7. Herbicides are means for controlling weeds. The use of herbicides requires special care, because if the technology is violated, cultivated plants may suffer. Therefore, they are more often recommended to be used before planting or after harvesting. cultivated plants. AT summer period herbicides must be used with extreme caution, directed at vegetative weeds.

How and when to treat plants?

It is necessary to process plantings with protective equipment at certain periods, it is especially necessary to strictly observe the terms of treatments during the growing season. Do not spray during the flowering of the crop - this can lead to the death of bees and others. beneficial insects. Before starting work, be sure to mow weeds.

Processing is best done in the early morning hours, in calm weather. Do not spray before or immediately after rain.

It is necessary to strictly observe the terms of the last treatments (waiting period), since chemical agents can accumulate in plant products, and it takes time for the drug to decompose before the removal of fruits and vegetables.

In order not to pollute the environment and products with residual amounts of chemical protection products and not cause leaf burns, it is necessary to strictly observe the consumption rates of drugs, the frequency of use, etc.

In individual gardens, hand-held hose sprayers are used for treatments. Solutions should be applied to plants evenly, especially carefully on the underside of the leaves, where pests and pathogens are more common. Spray the top first, then the middle, and finally the top. lower part crowns.

The consumption of working fluids of plant protection products depends on the area of ​​plant foliage. When spraying young trees, up to 2 liters of solutions are consumed per plant, fruiting trees - from 5 to 10 liters, currants and gooseberries - up to 1.5 liters per bush, raspberries - up to 2 liters per 10 bushes, strawberries - up to 1.5 liters per 10 m of plantings, vegetables and potatoes - up to 1 liter per 10 m.

Particular attention should be paid to safety when working with pesticides. Working solutions are prepared in special containers that cannot be used for other purposes, especially for storage. drinking water, feed and products. To work with pesticides, special clothing (gowns, boots, gloves) should be allocated and protective equipment (cotton-gauze bandages) should be prepared. Do not eat, drink or smoke while working with pesticides. After it, the clothes are shaken, aired and washed in a soap and soda solution with the addition of synthetic washing powders. After spraying for three to four days, you can not be on the treated area.

In conclusion, it must be emphasized again that the chemical treatments without taking into account the species composition of pests, their numbers, the degree of development of diseases, as well as neglect of the regulations for the use chemicals can lead to pollution environment, the destruction of beneficial insects, is dangerous for humans.
