How to treat trees in April from pests. Spring garden processing: four stages

In the spring, already in the month of March, a caring summer resident has things through the roof! First of all, we go to the garden: we check the shelters (in the daytime, if the weather is favorable, they can be ventilated), we start pruning fruit trees, and think about early spring spraying of the garden. With regards to treatments for pests and diseases in the spring Most amateur gardeners have two main questions:

• When to start spraying trees and shrubs?
• What can you spray the garden in spring?

We tried to answer both of these questions in as much detail as possible in this article.

Timing: When to spray trees and shrubs in spring

The exact date when you can start spraying, no one will say. Theoretically, you can spray the garden at the end of March. At this time during the day the temperature can rise to 10 degrees Celsius, and pests wake up at a temperature of 5-6 degrees Celsius. In addition, pathogens of fungal diseases (rot, scab, moniliosis) begin to spread early. But treatment at the end of March may be ineffective, because it can still snow, drizzle, and the product will quickly wash off. The best time to wait for drier, more stable weather is in April.

Usually, fruit trees in the garden in spring sprayed in two terms:

• BEFORE buds swell / open (primarily from diseases),
• DURING bud break in the green cone phase (first of all - from pests, but also from diseases).

1. First spraying

When to spray? At the stage of closed, dormant buds, as they say, “on a bare tree”, when there are no signs of awakening on it yet. At this time, spores of fungal diseases can already begin to scatter. It is believed that it is advisable to carry out the treatment when the average daily air temperature reaches 5 degrees Celsius.

How?The first spraying is carried out from diseases, since the insects have not yet had time to become active - they simply have nothing to eat (the kidneys have not opened). Spraying will protect the garden from various types of rot, moniliosis of stone fruit crops, from scab - on apple trees and pears. Drugs are used: Bordeaux mixture 3%, urea, ferrous sulfate, copper sulfate, copper-containing preparations Hom, Oxyhom, fungicides Horus, Skor, Farmayod, Abiga-peak, Nitrafen, Rayok and insecticides "30 plus", "Prophylactin".

Prior to bud opening, treatment is relevant against overwintering stages of pests, and here modern preparations "30 plus" and "Prophylactin" come to the rescue, as well as the proven complex remedy "Nitrafen", which works against both pests and diseases.

2. Second spraying

When to spray? On a green cone, when the buds have already burst, but the leaves have not yet begun to unfold. It is very important not to skip this phase, as the apple flower beetle (weevil) is activated.

How?Insecticides used against pests: Iskra, Intavir, Tanrek, Kinmiks, Fufanon, Decis Profi. You can carry out the treatment and fungicides from diseases: Bordeaux mixture 1%, Horus, Skor, Oksikhom. It is only important to consider that Horus works well in cool weather and is more suitable for the first treatment, while Skor is more effective at temperatures above 5 degrees Celsius.

You can spray fruit trees 2 more times: at the stage of a pink bud (not for flowering plants) and for ovaries, the size of a pea - against the codling moth and from moniliosis (second wave). Spark and Intavir, Decis, Horus, as well as Fitoverm and Bitoxibacillin biological products are suitable for spraying (they work at temperatures above 14 degrees).

You need to spray not only the branches, but also the trunk and even the trunk circle. Fruit trees, stone fruits and berry bushes are processed.

Currants and raspberries it is also better to process early, without waiting for the buds to swell. First of all, you can go to collect tick buds (they are round, and healthy ones are elongated), they can be distinguished even in winter. The tick wakes up at an average daily temperature of 5 degrees Celsius. The kidneys must be collected and burned. Twisted shoots that were affected by aphids last year are also cut and burned.

It is possible to spray in the early stages, while it is still cool enough, with acaricidal preparations against ticks: Teovit-jet, Kleshchevit, Akarin, Aktellik. At temperatures above 12 degrees Celsius, the Fitoverm biopreparation is used.

On swollen buds, before the leaves bloom, they are sprayed with insecticides: Spark, Decis Profi, Tanrek. To prevent powdery mildew, currants are sprayed with copper-containing preparations (Bordeaux mixture, chorus, hom, oxychom, soon) when the leaves have already begun to bloom - at the end of May.

Raspberries are also treated with fungicidal copper-containing preparations before the leaves bloom - against diseases, against pests - with the insecticides listed above.

Before bud break, currants and gooseberries infected with anthracnose or powdery mildew are sprayed with solutions of nitrafen, karbofos or Bordeaux liquid.

Attention! The preparations are sprayed with garden sprayers in calm weather in the morning or in the evening.

And what will the lunar calendar 2019 say ...

Most printed sources indicate that spraying trees and shrubs you can start at the end of March - beginning of April. And if you look into Lunar calendar for 2019, in it, among other plant care work, it is recommended to spray the trees in the garden as early as early March (it's too early, of course, but such information has a place to be):

In March:

• March 3, 4, 8, 9, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 25, 26, 27, 30, 31 March - spraying trees and shrubs from diseases and pests.
• March 17, 18, 19, 25, 26, 27, 30, 31 - spraying plants from diseases and pests.
• March 14, 17, 25 - treatment of currants and gooseberries with hot water.

In April:

• April 1, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 22, 23, 26, 27, 28 - spraying the garden against diseases and pests,
• April 9 - treatment of currants and gooseberries with hot water.

In May:

• May 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 19, 20, 25, 30 - treatment of the garden from diseases and pests,

Means: How to spray the garden in spring?

And now let's go over the means that are used to spray trees and shrubs in the spring, we divided them into two groups: traditional and modern. In the description of each tool, we also highlight the recommended processing time.

Traditional preparations:

Urea

Traditionally in horticulture, a concentrated solution of urea is used to treat the garden in early spring. Printed sources offer different dosages: 500 g, 600 g or 700 g of urea per 10 liters of water. Accordingly, at the output we get a 5%, 6% or 7% solution. In our own summer cottage, we use urea for early spring spraying. As a result - a rich and healthy harvest of apples, pears, cherries (almost always). The best result is the use of a complex solution: 700 g of urea per 10 liters of water + 50 g of copper sulfate. BEFORE bud break.

inkstone

Traditional, effective and versatile remedy. In the first half of April, trees can be sprayed with a solution of iron sulfate (300 g per 10 liters of water) on bare branches and trunks - this will destroy pests. A solution of a lower concentration is used in the fall after the leaves have fallen from the apple, pear and plum trees: 100 g of vitriol is dissolved in 10 liters of water. Also, lichens on trunks are treated with a 3% solution of iron sulfate (300 g per 10 liters of water). BEFORE bud break.

blue vitriol

A 1% solution of copper sulfate (100 g per 10 liters of water) is effective against fungal diseases, mold and some pests. It is often used for spraying fruit trees and berry bushes in order to prevent fungal diseases in the spring BEFORE bud break. The solution is effective against pathogens of scab, moniliosis, clasterosporiasis, coccomycosis, anthracosis, septoria and various kinds of spotting.

Modern gardeners prefer to use blue vitriol in the spring as part of a Bordeaux mixture or urea solution.

Bordeaux mixture

Old as the world means. For spraying the garden in early spring, BEFORE bud break, a concentrated 3% solution is used, and in the green cone phase, only a 1% solution of Bordeaux mixture. The preparation of the solution was discussed in detail in the article:

Nitrafen

Against pests in the wintering stage, while the buds have not yet swollen in the spring, fruit trees are sprayed with a 3% solution of Nitrafen (300 g per 10 liters of water), and shrubs with a 2% solution (200 g per 10 liters). The drug works on fruit trees, currants, gooseberries and raspberries. In addition to the trunk and branches, the soil is sprayed with the preparation in near-trunk circles. Read .

Modern drugs:

Kemithos

The drug "Kemifos" at a dosage of 5 ml per 10 liters of water is used against a complex of pests on stone fruit and fruit crops, on berry bushes. Processing is best done in the morning or evening hours.

prophylactin

In early spring, before bud break, when the average daily temperature reaches +4 degrees, fruit trees and berry bushes can be sprayed with the Prophylactin preparation. The solution destroys pests even before they come out of hibernation.

Copper-containing preparations

Hom and Oksikhom are used both for the first (before bud break) and for the second spraying (green cone phase). The solution is prepared according to the instructions.

Fungicides and insecticides

For spraying before bud break also used: fungicides (for diseases) Horus, Skor, Farmayod, Abiga-peak, Rayok, insecticides (for pests) "30 plus", "Prophylactin".

When the kidneys have burst, but the leaves have not yet begun to unfold, they use insecticides (against pests) Iskra, Intavir, Tanrek, Kinmiks, Fufanon, Decis Profi, fungicides (for diseases) Horus, Skor, Oksihom.

Folk remedies:

Salt

For spring spraying, a solution of sodium chloride is also used: 1 kg per 10 liters of water. It is believed that this solution is necessary to start sap flow.

hot shower

Immediately after the snow melts, but while the buds have not yet blossomed, the currant and gooseberry bushes are heat treated: they are poured with hot water from a watering can (80 degrees) at the rate of 8-10 liters per 1 bush. This method allows you to destroy wintering pests.

So, there are a huge number of means for spraying trees and shrubs. And the processing time will largely depend on the drug chosen. Experienced gardeners also recommend focusing on the state of nature: the snow has almost melted, the temperatures are already positive, but the buds have not yet woken up - it's time to start spraying. In total, the garden can be processed at least 4 times in spring (in summer conditions), because various pests and diseases are activated at different times.

Spring is the time to start active work in the garden. Spring treatment of the garden from pests and diseases is an important step in preparing the garden for a good harvest.

And the main task is to help the shrubs cope with awakening insect pests and pathogens of various diseases. Of course, we cannot completely get rid of them, but it is quite possible to reduce their number.

♦♦♦ Treat the garden after pruning fruit trees.♦♦♦

One garden treatment is not enough. Specialists and experienced gardeners agree that a series of treatments should be carried out.

When to start gardening?

We are determined not by the dates indicated in magazines, reference books, but by weather conditions, by average daily temperature, by the condition of your trees and shrubs.

♦♦♦ Remember that sooner is better than later.♦♦♦

The first spring treatment of the garden

We carry it out as soon as the average positive temperature is +4°…+5°.

♦♦♦ The first spray is the most important!♦♦♦

We spray fruit trees and shrubs until the buds swell.

Sleeping kidney.

♦♦♦ Be sure to inspect the plants. Plants do not wake up at the same time.♦♦♦

If the kidneys are not swollen, you can use a high concentration of drugs. It won't harm the plants.

But if the kidneys are already swollen, it is impossible to use a high concentration of drugs.

What to spray?

Antifungal compounds:

• blue vitriol

1% solution (100 g per 10 l of water) Having previously dissolved 100 g of copper sulfate in 1 l of warm water, add the remaining 9 l to the container. The resulting solution should be filtered to avoid clogging the sprayer.

♦♦♦ Important! When preparing solutions containing copper sulphate, contact of the sulphate with the metal should be avoided.♦♦♦

• 3% solution of Bordeaux mixture

How to make Bordeaux liquid

From pests

• Fufanon-Nova
• Iskra M
• Universal remedy for pests and diseases: Urea 700 g + 50 g of copper sulfate dissolved in 10 liters of water

Second spring treatment "Green Cone"

The tip of the kidney, which had moved into growth, turned a little green. The green cone is characterized by the fact that the buds on the buds of the trees have burst, but the leaves have not yet unfolded. The green cone phase is very short. At a temperature of +10°C, sufficient moisture and enough sun, the plants go through this phase very quickly.

If the leaves have unfolded, the green cone phase has already passed.

What to spray?

Antifungal compounds:

• 1% solution of Bordeaux mixture
• Oksikhom
• Ordan
• Horus

From pests

• Fufanon-Nova
• Iskra M
• Aliot

tank mixes

Tank mixes can be prepared for gardening. To do this, a drug for diseases and a drug for pests are diluted in one container.

For example: "Horus" and "Aktara" are compatible; Horus and Decis.

Types of tank solutions for eradicating treatment:

♦♦♦ When filling the sprayer, use a filter.♦♦♦

Copper sulphate is pre-dissolved in 1 liter of hot water.

Urea prevents the development and reproduction of fungal diseases and pests.

♦♦♦ Treating the garden with urea in the “green cone” phase delays the flowering of the garden a little. This is relevant at the risk of return frosts.♦♦♦

Soap removes surface tension, which contributes to the uniform distribution of the solution on the plant.

♦♦♦ Laundry soap, any solid soap and liquid green (garden) soap are not compatible with blue vitriol. Copper sulfate precipitates.♦♦♦

Stir the resulting solutions well until completely dissolved and spray the garden.

Iron vitriol oxidizes quickly, so we add a complexing agent, for example: citric acid. After dissolving citric acid in water, add iron sulfate.

Coniferous processing

We process coniferous trees, especially juniper, with a diluted solution.

If the conifers have already begun to grow, we dilute the preparations in 30 liters of water.

Spring processing of conifers will save plants not only from diseases, but will also prevent the development of rust fungus, from which the pear suffers greatly.

You can repeat the treatment after 7-10 days, but be sure to pay attention to the condition of the kidneys. For best results, the use of different solutions is recommended.

Third treatment before flowering "Rosebud"

What to spray?

Antifungal compounds:

• Horus

From pests

• Inta-Vir,
• senpai,
• Alatar

Fourth treatment before flowering

What to spray?

Antifungal compounds:

• Horus
• oxide
• Proton extra

From pests

• Inta-Vir
• Senpai
• Biotlin

Safety

When processing the garden, do not forget to use personal protective equipment:

Treating the garden from pests and diseases in the fall is extremely important.

There are several reasons for this:

• autumn gardening is a good preventive procedure, reducing the number of wintering pathogens;
• autumn heat and humid air stimulate the reproduction of microbes and bacteria. at this time they penetrate the sap flow system and spread throughout the tree;
• autumn processing of the garden is recommended at the beginning of leaf fall, and during this period the main work has already been completed, the gardener has more free time;
• there is still a lot of time before the fruit ripens and you can apply more concentrated and effective mixtures;
• special attention should be paid to the treatment of young trees. Their immune system is not yet strong and untreated trees may not survive until spring;
• autumn treatment with increased concentrations of drugs destroys most of the insects settled for the winter.

Processing time

The optimal time for autumn processing it could be considered beginning of leaf fall.

At this time, the leaves have already turned yellow, but still remained on the tree and it is convenient to process them. Even high concentrations of solutions will not harm the tree - there is no longer any need for leaves.

Under the trees, the soil is not yet covered with fallen leaves and it also needs to be treated with a prepared pesticide. Thus, we will destroy the pests that have gone to winter in the soil and are waiting for warming from the foliage.

Tree preparation

Beginning in mid-autumn, trees begin to prepare for winter. You can increase the winter hardiness of trees by adding phosphorus and.

The bases of the skeletal branches and the trunk of the tree are cleaned of dead bark and pests hiding in its cracks. At the same time, the trunks and bases of the branches are covered with a protective layer of garden whitewash. The trunks of young trees are tied with roofing material, covering material or nylon tights.

How to spray fruit trees?

For spraying the garden in the autumn, you can use:

• inkstone;
• carbamide or urea;
• drug 30B;
• diesel fuel;
• bischal;
• soap-copper emulsion.

inkstone

Trees are treated with a solution of iron sulphate either before the start of the growing season, or with the onset of leaf fall. Dissolved in water, this powder helps fight diseases of pome and stone fruit trees, and berry bushes. The action of iron sulphate is detrimental to moniliosis, spotting, and scab.

For processing the garden, a 5-7% solution of the substance is used. To prepare the working fluid, you must:

• 500-700 g of powder is dissolved in a small amount of warm water;
• after complete dissolution, the volume of liquid is adjusted to 10 l;
• strained mixture is poured into a sprayer;
• set up a very fine spray;
• evenly cover the leaves and branches with a solution, it’s not scary if some of the liquid gets on the ground. It also needs to be sprayed.

blue vitriol

Wasp copper sulfate or copper sulfate is a recognized fungicide that helps in the fight against spotting, rot, scab, coccomycosis, lichens.

The working solution of copper sulphate for garden treatment should have a concentration of 3-5%. It is prepared in the same way as iron sulphate, only 300-500 g of powder is taken for the same amount of water. Prepare and use in the same way.

Urea or urea

The use of urea or carbamide for fall gardening involves tilling the trees and the soil underneath. The term for such processing is the beginning of leaf fall. A strong solution of urea is able to burn out all wintering forms of pests and diseases.

The procedure for processing trees:

• 700 g of urea or carbamide are dissolved in 10 liters of water;
• process unfallen leaves and tree trunks;
• the trunk circle is treated with the same tool.

It is necessary to use such a liquid for autumn garden processing as late as possible. nitrogen, the loading dose of which is contained in the solution, can cause the growth of new shoots. In the spring, it is not necessary to apply nitrogen fertilizers under trees treated with urea.

Preparation 30v

Insect-acaricide "Preparation 30V" destroys wintering pests in the garden and on berry bushes: scale insects, whiteflies, leafworms, aphids, mites, moths.

The drug disrupts the air and water balance of insects, leading them to death. Pests cannot adapt to the action of the drug, it can be used annually. The advantages of the product include environmental safety, high efficiency, excellent adhesion, the ability to use the entire season from spring to autumn. The drug has a contact effect, it must be applied without leaving untreated areas.

The drug is very easy to breed. It is simply dissolved in water and used within the next 2 hours after dilution.

Treatments are carried out at an outdoor temperature above +4°C.

The concentration of the solution for the treatment of trees and shrubs is 3-4%.

The protective effect of the drug lasts from 5 to 10 days. You can harvest after processing after 20 days.

Diesel fuel or diesel fuel (DT)

Solar oil is an oily liquid. After treating the tree with such a liquid, an oil film forms on the surface of the bark, which destroys pests by blocking their respiratory openings.

Diesel fuel, being the result of oil refining, is not considered an environmentally friendly substance, and therefore it is dangerous to use it in the spring. It is best to use such a tool in the fall, by the time of harvest it will completely disintegrate and will not remain in ripened fruits.

Successful recipes for the use of diesel fuel:

• 1 part of ferrous sulfate is dissolved in 10 parts of water;
• add 10 parts of lime milk 10% concentration;
• 20 parts of diesel fuel are added to the resulting mixture;
• the resulting mixture is used to process plantings after leaf fall.

Another successful recipe:

• 5 parts of clay are dissolved in 5 parts of water;
• 20 parts of diesel fuel are added to the resulting mixture;
• plantings are treated with the resulting emulsion.

Another solution that is effective in pest control:

• grind 1 part of laundry soap;
• the chips are dissolved in 9 parts of water;
• 10 parts of diesel fuel are added to the resulting solution;
• we process the garden with the resulting emulsion.

Using diesel fuel, you need to remember that its density and water are very different, and you won’t be able to get a complete solution. When mixing water and diesel fuel, an emulsion is formed, which is very quickly divided into two fractions. Keeping this in mind, when working with such a mixture, you need to periodically shake the solution.

Bordeaux liquid

Bordeaux liquid is a mixture of copper sulfate and lime in a 1: 1 ratio. This mixture destroys foci of diseases (moniliosis, spotting, rot and fungal diseases, scab), and also destroys wintering forms of insects.

To prepare Bordeaux liquid, you will need lime, blue vitriol, water, any non-metallic utensils and litmus paper:

• in a non-metallic container, 1 kg of copper sulfate is diluted in a small amount of hot water and brought to 50 liters;
• in another container, 1 kg of quicklime is quenched and the solution is diluted to 50 liters, filtered;
• immediately before use, both solutions are combined - a solution of copper sulphate is added to the milk of lime (but not vice versa).
• the resulting mixture is checked with litmus paper - the reaction of the solution should be neutral;
• for better adhesion of the solution per 100 liters of liquid, add 100 g of sugar or 5 cups of paste;
• Ready mixture can be purchased at a garden store.

Bordeaux mixture should be used in warm, dry, calm weather. Up to 10 liters are used per tree.

Bishal

Autumn and early spring processing of fruit trees can be carried out using the Bishal preparation. This is a solution of the natural remedy bischofite. It contains almost all microelements necessary for plants.

Depending on the concentration, trees can be treated with this solution before bud break or before leaf fall, a garden can be cultivated on a green leaf, and can be used to soak seeds.

Autumn treatment of the garden with a solution of bishali will destroy pests prepared for wintering, bacterial, viral and fungal infections.

For autumn processing, bischal is bred in a ratio of 1:10.

Bishal, like urea, burns out all the infection that remains in the cracks of the bark, but unlike urea, it contains many essential trace elements.

The advantages of bishali include the absence of a waiting period after processing the garden.

Soap copper emulsion

Another tool for autumn garden processing is a soap-copper emulsion. The recipe for its preparation is very simple:

• 10 g of copper sulfate are dissolved in 0.5 l of water;
• separately, 100 g of planed laundry soap is diluted in warm water;
• a solution of soap is added to the solution of copper sulfate, the volume of the mixture is adjusted to 10 l;
• if the water is hard (flakes appear in the solution), you can add 50 g of soda ash.

With a high number of wintering pests or a strong infection with an infection, the doses of soap and copper sulfate are increased by 2-3 times.

The garden is gradually waking up after a long winter hibernation, the buds are about to begin to bloom. Now, in spring, fruit trees and shrubs especially need the protection and attention of the gardener. How to process trees and shrubs in early spring, how to help our beloved “plants” in order to cure diseases, protect against pests and adverse climatic conditions, we deal with experienced gardeners of our portal, who have accumulated volumes of useful material on this topic over the years of gardening.

In this article, we will look at:

2. Calendar of garden treatments in early spring in spring. When to carry out the first treatment;
3. How to prepare Bordeaux liquid;
4. How to deal with fungal diseases;

Member of our portal Eleni three grandchildren, so his family attaches great importance to the safety of fruits and berries, and "no chemicals" are used at all. The question of how to spray fruit trees and shrubs in spring does not arise in this family: the treatment of the garden from diseases and pests is done only with safe home remedies.

Home remedies for spraying fruit trees and shrubs:

1. Infusion of garlic;
2. Infusion of onion peel.
   Green soap is added to these infusions for better stickiness.

An infusion of onion peels is made as follows: 350 grams of onion peels are poured with two liters of water, brought to a boil and cooled. The resulting solution is diluted in 10 liters of water with 2 tablespoons of green soap (sold in garden stores).

Garlic infusion recipe: 300 grams of whole, unpeeled garlic heads are passed through a meat grinder, poured with water. The mixture is insisted for a day, stirring from time to time, 2 tablespoons of green soap are added, and diluted in 10 liters of water.

It is also popular to treat currant and gooseberry bushes with boiling water (not hot water, but boiling water, from a boiled kettle), which is carried out even before buds open. Try to start processing with this - surprisingly, boiling water is no less effective than special substances.

Treatment with home remedies

Member of our portal Eleni three grandchildren, so his family attaches great importance to the safety of fruits and berries, and "no chemicals" are used at all. In early spring, he sprays all his garden bushes and trees with infusions of garlic and onion peel, to which he adds green soap for better stickiness.

An infusion of onion peels is made as follows: 350 grams of onion peels are poured with two liters of water, brought to a boil and cooled. The resulting solution is diluted with 10 liters of water with 2 tablespoons of green soap (sold in garden stores).

Garlic infusion recipe: 300 grams of whole, unpeeled garlic heads are passed through a meat grinder, poured with water. The mixture is insisted for a day, stirring from time to time, add 2 tablespoons of green soap.

Both of these infusions are used for spring spraying of all fruit crops.

It is also popular to treat currant and gooseberry bushes with boiling water (not hot water, but boiling water, from a boiled kettle), which is carried out even before the buds open.

Time and means for spraying trees in spring.

Every person associates a garden with delicious apples, pears, plums, peaches and cherries. But in order to grow such a garden, you need to work a lot and process trees and plants in time. Let's take a closer look at the methods and means for caring for the garden so that it generously pleases us with its beauty and delicious fruits.

When to spray trees and shrubs in the garden in spring: timing, schedule

A responsible owner, who cares about the future harvest, begins work in the garden immediately after the first snow has melted. After all, there is a lot of work to be done: before proceeding directly to spraying the garden, you need to carefully prepare everything.

In the first half or middle of March see if there is dry bark and branches damaged after winter, all this needs to be removed. Spring is a very troublesome time, nature is waking up and you need to seize the moment to protect it from various diseases and pests.

If you are just starting to deal with this business, and are not very versed in the intricacies, then it is better to invite an experienced specialist who will tell you what needs to be done first. 3 months of spring can be conditionally divided into 3 main stages in gardening:

In order to better navigate these stages, professionals in this field have developed special calendars and manuals, which give the exact timing of tree processing, depending on the problem.

Such detailed schedules are developed in order to know how to act in a given situation. Be responsible owners of your garden and let it always thank you generously for your efforts.

When in the garden in the spring to do the first spraying of fruit trees: apple trees, pears, plums?

In order for the garden to give the owners a bountiful harvest in the fall, you need to work hard in the spring. In the summer, you can also carry out preventive spraying as diseases occur.

Now, let's take a closer look at when to spray in the spring. After all, it is then that you need to strengthen your care after the winter break.

Let's start with everyone's favorite apple trees. You need to spray them in:

• Period before bud formation(often fruit trees are sprayed in order to protect the tree from a variety of fungi and other insects that survived after the winter). Spraying should be carried out when the temperature outside reaches at least 6-7 degrees Celsius. Previously, this procedure does not make any sense, since its effectiveness will be reduced to zero.
• The period when the buds begin to bloom(at this time it is very important to ensure that they are not attacked by scab or other insects that affect the number of fruits).
• Rosebud Period care must also be taken to ensure that the pests listed above do not infect the tree and lead to huge crop losses.
• Direct flowering period(At this time, the trees are very much at risk of infection by various types of mites, caterpillars, aphids, etc.). The most important thing at this time is a quick response and spraying as soon as you see the first signs of infection. So the opportunity to save other types of trees in the garden increases several times.
• Spraying immediately after the apple trees have faded, to protect against moths, scab, or 14-21 days if the codling moth and other pests have attacked.

The procedure for spraying pears and plums is similar, the periods are the same. Plums are very susceptible to various fungal diseases, which, unfortunately, cannot be overcome without the use of chemicals.

If you are very fond of apples, pears and plums, then do everything possible to protect them. The main thing is to strictly follow the recommendations and adhere to the deadlines.

You can also help fruit trees by dropping harmful beetles on the litter and wrapping them with special belts that help trap flower beetles. These measures together give a very good result, which is worth all the effort. If you are just starting to care for a young garden, then these tips will help you figure out how and when to start gardening.

How to process fruit trees and shrubs in early spring before bud break?

Now there are a huge number of tools that can be used to combat various pests and diseases of horticultural crops. All of them have a different spectrum of action and effectiveness, but following the methods of application and the correct dosage will allow you to achieve high results when harvesting in the fall.

Remember that you need to choose a garden treatment product depending on the level of infection of the trees and the expected occurrence of various diseases. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the means that can be used until the moment when the buds begin to bloom:

• inkstone- an effective tool that allows you to speed up the vegetation process and prevent or, in the event of a disease, cure fruit trees from various types of insects and fungal diseases, which are now even more common.

Carbamide is useful in that it is a means that kills pests and contributes to the enrichment of plants with a complex of substances necessary for their growth. The garden should be treated with such a solution in early spring, until the trees begin to bud.

For a thorough spraying of all plants and the soil around them, enough Dilute 700 g of the substance in 10 liters of water. Having received everything they need, the plants slow down in growth and thus begin to bud later than usual. Therefore, they are not afraid of various weather surprises.

Copper sulfate is a very good antiseptic, it also helps to saturate with various useful substances and destroy harmful microorganisms. But you need to work with it very carefully, it is often diluted with lime (then you get the well-known Bordeaux mixture, the concentration of two substances: 100:100).

The dosage of the product is calculated on 10 liters of water. 100 g of the drug enough to protect your garden from various insects that contribute to the development of various diseases. If the tree has many wounds and it is very sick, then add 50 g of the drug, after a while you will see that the wounds have begun to heal, and the tree has actively entered the phase of growth and bud formation.

Iron sulphate is different in that it must not be mixed with lime. Before the first leaves appear, treat the plants with this product in order to prevent the possibility of various fungal infections that can infect all plants.

To do this, take 300 g of the drug (3%) and pour 10 liters of water. If the branches are slightly darkened, this is a consequence of the action of the drug. If you carried out such processing in the fall, then in the spring it is unnecessary to do this, once is enough.
