Processing garden trees in summer. How to spray trees in early spring

Spring time is the beginning of worries for summer residents and gardeners. How much you need to do to get a rich harvest of vegetables and fruits! It is during this period that the bulk of the work related to the preparation of the soil, trees, shrubs and other plants falls. In spring, nature wakes up, and with it numerous insects. Spring processing of the garden from diseases and pests plays a very important role. Therefore, you need to know how to properly carry it out in order to achieve a good harvest.

Comprehensive care

Spring treatment of the garden from diseases and pests includes three important points. Firstly, it is the whitewashing of tree trunks. This helps to decontaminate the bark, which can be a source of disease and pests. Gardeners use it for this. It is applied in two layers. Modern drugs, which are intended for processing the bark, contain chalk, PVA glue and copper sulfate. Second important point- this is tillage near shrubs and trees. This is a simple digging of the earth with a shovel.

Trees or shrubs are dug around, and all the pests are at the top. This procedure is carried out a few days before the treatment of trees with chemicals. This is the third stage of complex care. Spring processing of the garden from pests and diseases is carried out by any suitable means. It is better to choose sparing, but effective drugs.

Three stages

Processing and spraying the garden from pests and diseases takes place in three stages. The first procedure is carried out very early (early or mid-March), when the buds on the trees have not yet blossomed. Wherein Special attention should be given to such shrubs as raspberries, gooseberries and currants. We clean the plantings from old and dried branches and fruits. We cut the crown of the trees and remove the old bark on the trunks.

All old branches must be removed outside the garden or burned. After that, the spring treatment of the garden from pests and diseases is carried out with any effective preparations. The second time this procedure is carried out before flowering. In this way, you can get rid of weevils, apple flower beetle, sawflies and some fungal diseases. After flowering ends, the third spring treatment of the garden from diseases and pests is carried out.

A little about pests

Any gardener needs to know what pests are that harm plantings and reduce yields. Only in this case, you can notice changes in time and get rid of uninvited guests. The main pests are numerous weevils. These include bukarok and geese. All of them have a long proboscis, which is broken by unopened buds - they dry up and die. These pests infect fruit trees, which leads to lower yields.

Shrubs are more susceptible to attack small insects: aphids, caterpillars, spider mite and currant moth. The damage inflicted by them, you can not immediately notice. The garden sawfly infects the plant during the flowering period. The insect lays its eggs in the ovary of the flower, and the larvae gnaw it out. Fruits in this case are not formed and fall off. One of the most dangerous pests- It's an apple mite. These insects infect trees in whole colonies. The site of attack is the kidneys. They do not develop and disappear. That is why it is important to treat trees for pests in the spring, before buds open and bloom.

Diseases of trees and shrubs

In addition to pests, diseases are a great danger to shrubs and trees. The most common of these is scab, which mainly affects apple and pear trees. Its causative agent is a fungus. Signs of scab appear on the leaves and fruits in the form of small light green spots. Then they are covered with a velvety coating of brownish-olive color. Wu is striking upper part leaves, and the pear - the bottom. The disease leads to drying and falling of leaves. The fruits change their shape, and in places of lesions become hard. Scab fungus overwinters on fallen, dried leaves and young shoots. In spring, spores become active and infect lower part crowns.

Spring treatment of the garden will help protect plants from diseases and pests. Gray rot usually affects cherries and plums. Its signs appear immediately after flowering trees. The branches dry up, and the flowers become dark, but do not fall off. On the fruits under the influence of the disease appears dark spot, which gradually covers the entire fruit. The fungus overwinters in branches, shoots and affected fruits. The disease develops in spring period in damp conditions. Early spring protection garden from diseases and pests will help to cope with these problems.

Processing tools

Any gardener should always have at hand an inventory that will facilitate his work. Some tools are simply necessary. Spring treatment of the garden against diseases and pests is a simple procedure that requires certain adaptations. They can be purchased in specialized stores. With them, the spring processing of the garden will be easier. What to use for work? Special pumps or sprayers are best suited for this.

They allow high-quality processing with minimum consumption drug, which should lie down in small droplets on each leaf, twig and fruit. Such devices allow you to get even the most distant branches. To do this, you need to choose a hose of a suitable length. Sprayers operate on the principle of irrigation. Therefore, the sprayer must be kept at a distance from the object (about 70 centimeters).

Security

Processing trees from pests in the spring should be carried out taking into account all safety measures. All insecticides are dangerous to humans and animals. For processing, you need to choose clear, and most importantly, calm weather. Be sure to use a respirator or at least a gauze bandage. The presence of glasses is also prerequisite, because getting the drug into the eyes can lead to very sad consequences. It is necessary to put on a protective cap on the head, since the probability of falling small drops from above is very high.

Well, rubber gloves will become reliable protection hands. Armed with these tools, you can not worry about your health. When choosing a drug, it is better to give preference to less dangerous, but more effective. Do not forget about beneficial insects, which can be harmed by spraying trees and shrubs.

Processing rules

Processing and spraying the garden from pests and diseases has its own rules. Their observance increases the efficiency of the procedure and reduces the risk of the process. First, this correct application drug. It must be evenly sprayed over the entire surface of the plants. Modern fixtures designed for this, allow you to do this without difficulty. The main thing is not to miss a single section. Secondly, the leaves must be processed on each side. Some pests are located on inside sheet. Thoroughly rinse all equipment and clean protective equipment after each spraying. Immediately after contact with toxic substances, wash your hands well, wash your face and rinse your mouth.

Plant protection products

There are three types of drugs that are used for the most common - these are chemicals. They are produced by enterprises specializing in this and have factory packaging. Applying them is very easy. Chemicals easily and quickly dissolve in water. Their duration depends on several factors and ranges from a few days to a month. Usually, these drugs affect a specific type of pest or disease. The second group is the combined means. These are very effective drugs that at one time help get rid of several diseases or pests. The third type is biological agents. They do not apply to chemicals. Their action is based on the activity of bacteria and microorganisms.

The use of drugs

In the first spraying, which is carried out before bud break, use insecticides with copper and iron vitriol. Also, the treatment with Bordeaux liquid gives an excellent effect. It will help get rid of the flower beetle, scab, spotting and destroy all insect larvae. Before flowering, preparations with copper, anabasin, karbofos and DDT powder are used. They destroy weevils, ticks, many fungal diseases and enhance plant immunity. After flowering, during the third treatment, you can give preference to combined preparations. This will be an excellent prevention of the formation of wood rot.

Bordeaux liquid

The cheapest and effective remedy It's Bordeaux liquid. But what to cook it, you need to know some subtleties. To get such a wonderful tool, you need to take 300 grams of copper sulfate, which is sold in hardware and specialized stores, and 500 grams of slaked lime. Copper sulphate must be dissolved in hot water(3 liters). The temperature of the liquid should be in the range of 50-60 degrees. It is undesirable to use metal utensils for this. When the liquid has cooled, it must be filtered. Separately, we dissolve the lime and also filter it.

Then pour the lime solution into a larger bowl and pour copper sulfate into it in a thin stream. During the whole process, do not forget to constantly stir the solution. It should turn out homogeneous, without flakes. Then we bring the total volume of the drug to 10 liters. If, when lowering a nail into a solution, a copper coating forms on it, then the volume of lime should be increased. ready mix we pass through again. Bordeaux liquid is ready. But remember one rule: pour copper sulfate into lime, and not vice versa.

Preparations and their purpose

The most popular remedies are Bordeaux liquid and blue vitriol, which is diluted in a proportion of 100 grams per 10 liters of water. From ticks and larvae of pests, the drug "Neoron" very effectively helps and For the destruction of weevils, trapping belts are used, which include glue. Here one can highlight " Clean house"," Viola "and" In-vlip. In the fight against leafworms, suckers, aphids, apple beetles and moths, Inta-vir, Fastak, Kinmiks and Decis help. Against scab and some fungal diseases, you can use the drug Nitrafen, Chlorophos, Tanrek, Raek and a urea solution (5 percent). For processing apple trees, pears, cherries, plums, apricots, peaches, currants and grapes, Horus, Skor, Delan, HOM and Bordeaux liquid are suitable. They will help to cope with leaf curl, rust, spotting, moniliosis, coccomycosis, gnawing and sucking pests.

The ideal time to spray is when the buds are already swollen but not open. Spring processing is carried out early in the morning or at least before lunch. This will protect the plants from spraying. Spraying should start at the top of the tree. Don't forget to work the trunk and the ground around the bush or tree. It is necessary to dilute drugs before their direct use. Use all the liquid, leaving it until the next time. Do not forget about safety, then the spring treatment of the garden from pests will be effective and harmless. Advice is never superfluous, so you should listen to them.

Many gardeners, especially beginners, often ask how to cultivate a garden. in early spring so that in summer pests and diseases pester the plants less and do not destroy the crop. Spring processing of the garden is carried out before bud break, when the snow has just melted, a stable positive temperature has been established. Some medications work best for low temperatures. These include copper sulphate, optimum temperature air for him is not higher than +8 degrees. This is the most effective remedy in the fight against a number of diseases. fruit trees, bushes. It must be diluted in the proportion indicated on the package.

A garden treated in time with copper sulphate is distinguished by a delicate blue bloom on the bark of plants. Therefore, such processing is affectionately called by gardeners - “blue processing”. "Blue processing" can be carried out with other copper-containing products. Bordeaux liquid is very popular. It consists of two components, copper sulfate and lime, which must be mixed in a certain proportion. Its effectiveness depends on the correctness of this proportion.

In the spring, fruit trees are processed twice. The first, early spring, work is done before bud break. Before cultivating the garden in early spring, it is necessary to make sanitary pruning, remove moss and dead bark, cover wounds with protective paint, dig up the ground at the bases of plants.

Moss, dead bark are removed with a stiff brush or plastic spatula. The procedure must be carried out carefully so as not to damage the living tissue of the tree. Cleaned areas can be disinfected with copper sulphate, a weak solution of manganese. These measures will remove harmful insects remaining for the winter, relieve the development of fungal diseases.

After cleaning, the trees must be whitewashed with a solution of lime or a special paint based on it, which can be purchased at garden stores. This paint will not only protect the plant from the development of the disease, eliminate the possibility of sunburn in areas without bark, but also cope with some diseases.

Cut points after sanitary pruning should also not be left uncoated with paint or garden pitch. A cut of a dry branch is covered with protection immediately, a living branch must stand for a day before it can be painted over. Such careful care of exposed areas of the tree will prevent black cancer, anthracnose, cytosporosis and moniliosis.

Great harm to fruit plants, especially apple trees, is caused by the codling moth and, at first glance, cute bug Alenka hairy. The fight against them is carried out at the second stage of processing the garden, at the beginning of flowering, it allows the use of drugs that are harmless to bees.

So that the caterpillar of the apple codling moth that overwintered in a fallen fruit under a tree does not get out onto the branches in anticipation of tasty fruits, a special trap must be placed on the trunks.

The photo below shows the simplest improvised trap, which effectively copes with many pests that want to climb tree branches to eat.

Hairy Alenka, a variety of May beetles, destroys all flowers in its path, leaving the gardener not only without a crop, but also without beautiful flower beds. It is very difficult to fight her. Beetles must be periodically collected by shaking off the branches. A new drug has been created that acts on the insect, but does not harm bees and other pollinators. "Calypso" is one of the few remedies that can be used during abundant flowering.

In the fight against the reproduction of pests already noticed in the previous year on trees, autumn work after harvest is of great importance. Timely harvested affected fruits and leaves, deep digging of the soil at the base of the tree will significantly affect plant health and fruit quality. If it is not possible to take out the infected organic matter from the garden or burn it, then it is necessary to bury it to a depth of at least 50 cm. Only then the pests that wake up in the spring will not be able to get to the surface and start their insidious occupation.

Problems of fruit bushes

Early spring processing of fruit bushes is the second stage on the way to a good harvest. The first was in the fall after the harvest. Before treating the garden with chemicals in the fall, it is necessary to remove diseased, damaged branches, collect fallen leaves where spores of the fungus could hide, dig up the ground to destroy the pests that have settled there for a cozy wintering.

Spring processing should be carried out as early as possible, because currants and gooseberries wake up very early. You should carefully consider the currant buds that have not yet blossomed. Too large, significantly different from others, must be collected in a container, burned. These are the ovipositor sites of the bud mite. You can identify it on a bush only in early spring by incredibly swollen buds.

Garden shrub affects the largest number of pests - up to 80 species. The fight against them is effective by 80% due to the removal of affected branches or buds, fallen leaves and regular digging of the soil under the bush.

To have a good harvest of grapes

Before you process the garden in early spring, you need to take care of the grapes. Gardeners pay a lot of attention to the care of grapes, especially its elite varieties, throughout the year. This is spring removal of shelter, sanitary pruning, regular weeding and watering, vine formation, pinching, pest and disease control, sometimes killing the entire crop of tender berries.

So that the garden meets your expectations, pleases the eye and soul good harvest, it is necessary to provide him with proper, professional care. Landscape workshop Lenotre-Park will gladly take care of the processing and spraying of fruit trees and shrubs. For this we have experienced professionals, special equipment. Ordering garden processing in Moscow and the Moscow Region is simple - just one call to the phone number indicated in the right column.

The cost of work:

Spring processing of fruit trees is a series of measures aimed at the prevention and treatment of diseases of trees and shrubs, to prevent the invasion of pests or to destroy them. Qualitative and quantitative indicators of the future harvest depend on how timely, efficiently, organized and competently the work is carried out.

Spring processing of trees is carried out in several stages:

  • Before the start of the growing season
  • By the green cone when the buds hatched
  • During flowering
  • After flowering.

Spraying is also carried out outside this schedule, as needed.

But at the same time, you need to be aware that spring spraying of fruit trees is not a strictly regulated event in the sense that no one will say in advance exactly when and with what preparations to treat the garden, because each tree is unique in its characteristics and condition, respectively, requires an individual approach. When planning the processing of fruit trees for the spring, it is necessary to start, first of all, from the degree of infection of the garden with certain insects and diseases. The “just in case” principle does not apply to trees. Excessive use of chemicals can adversely affect the well-being of plants, moreover, it is undesirable for people and the environment in general.

Landscape workshop LE-PARK provides services for comprehensive spring processing of trees and shrubs in Moscow and the Moscow region. Our specialists carry out competent planning of events, correct selection drugs, timely and high-quality spraying. You can order as comprehensive care behind the garden, and seasonal cultivation of the garden.

First treatment before awakening of the kidneys

In early March, when the snow melts and the daytime temperature is stable within + 5 ° C, you can start preventive or recreational activities.

Trimming and cleaning trees and shrubs

Garden processing in early spring begins with pruning trees and shrubs. Tops, dead and frozen branches should be removed, the thickened crown should be cleared. At the same time, it is necessary to treat areas of the cortex damaged by rodents. The places of damage are cleaned to a living woody tissue, they must be treated first with copper sulphate (1% solution), then with rannet (the places where branches are cut during pruning are processed in the same way, copper sulphate is not necessary).

After that, it is necessary to carefully, without damaging the bark, clean the trunks and branches from exfoliated and cracked dead bark, from fungal attacks, lichens. Removed dead bark under the tree can not be left. It is advisable to first lay a cellophane film or other bedding around the trunk and under the crown. After completion of work, collect and burn garbage. If there are stumps in the garden that are a constant source of fungal diseases, they must be uprooted.

Be sure to process the hollows, if any. Clean them, disinfect, lubricate and leave to dry, covering them from rain and dirt.

Trunk processing

Further, in the spring processing of trees, whitewashing of trunks and near-stem branches follows. The task of this event is to prevent the development of the remaining larvae laid by pests in the fall, to scare away adult insect pests, which will soon wake up and kill fungal spores.

Effective for these purposes are modern facilities(ready-to-use), which can be purchased in specialized stores. They come in several types: aerosol, water-dispersion, acrylic. They usually contain fungicides. It is desirable that the mixture let air through, which is especially important for young trees.

You can prepare a solution for whitewashing trees yourself. To do this, dilute 2 kilograms of slaked lime in a bucket of water, add 1 kg of clay and 250 g of copper sulfate. Some add laundry soap, glue. Mix everything well. With this mixture, whitewash the trunks and lower parts of the stem branches of trees.

It is also necessary to prepare near-stem areas for processing. If a autumn work have not been carried out, this should be given the most close attention. Remove and burn last year's foliage, mummified fruits.

First spraying of trees and shrubs in early spring

The very first spring spraying of trees is carried out in without fail. Spraying is carried out before the awakening of the kidneys, and it is directed primarily against fungal diseases - scab, coccomycosis, leaf spot, against mosses and lichens, etc., as well as against aphids, mites, apple moth caterpillars, suckers, etc.

How to spray trees in early spring? There are many drugs on the market now. The problem is that they are often narrowly targeted. Therefore, pay attention to the description when buying. It is better to use broad-spectrum drugs. It is clear that it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, for a person far from gardening to quickly understand the intricacies of this matter. The right decision will seek help from professionals who know exactly what, when, how much and how.

But, if this is not possible, for one reason or another, then we advise you to use proven and reliable means. These are copper sulphate, Bordeaux liquid, carbamide, iron sulphate. Pay attention to mixtures of urea with copper sulphate. They are good because, in addition to their direct function of protecting plants, they play the role nitrogen fertilizer and delay the growing season for a week and a half. Both additional factors are useful. Nitrogen top dressing is quite appropriate at the start, and late flowering reduces the risk of falling into spring frosts.

It is necessary to spray the trees abundantly, starting from the surface of the crown and gradually moving inward, towards the trunk in the direction from top to bottom. Near-stem areas also need to be carefully treated with a solution, and then close the area trunk circles black film (the film is removed after flowering). This is done in order to reduce the likelihood of larvae emerging. harmful insects from the soil.

After spraying, you can put trapping belts on the trees. And although the insects have not yet awakened, very soon their hordes will rush to the trees.

As for shrubs - currants and gooseberries, they are processed immediately after the snow melts. On the gooseberry, it is necessary to cut out the branches damaged by the American powdery mildew, on the currant, cut out branches with unnaturally swollen buds, in which the females of the currant bud mite settled (take the cut branches out of the garden and burn them). Shrubs are sprayed with solutions of ferrous sulfate or nitrafen.

Second spring processing on the green cone

By the time the buds hatch, the life of flora and fauna will resume after the winter completely and it will become a little clearer what troubles threaten the garden. In addition, an attentive gardener can already, to some extent, predict outbreaks of diseases and the activity of certain types of pests (taking into account current and last year's observations).

Selection of preparations for the treatment of trees and shrubs in this spring time is a difficult task. Every year, dozens of new products are released, to which pests adapt throughout the year. No matter how good this or that drug is, it is not able to solve all problems in a complex, in one go. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully and accurately diagnose diseases, determine the type of pests and select appropriate means of protecting and treating trees.

If you live in Moscow or the Moscow region, qualified gardeners of the Lenotre-Park landscape workshop are at your service. You can get professional advice at any time or use the services of specialists for spring spraying of fruit trees and shrubs.

Preparations, depending on the condition of the trees, can be used chemical or biological.

Chemical preparations are rather radical means with some side undesirable effects on environment.

Biological products are harmless to the environment, animals, pollinating insects and people. Their production is based on the use of living microorganisms (bacteria, bacterial viruses, antagonist fungi). They are not so aggressive towards pests and to achieve the result, they are sprayed more often.

Chemicals:

  • Bordeaux liquid- broad spectrum fungicide
  • Fufanon- a broad-spectrum insecticide against ticks, weevils, leafworms, scale insects, raspberry beetles, aphids, thrips, moths, moths, etc.
  • Decis– contact-intestinal insecticide against Homoptera, Lepidoptera, Coleoptera
  • Inta-Vir– enteric-contact insecticide to control aphids, leaf-eating caterpillars, thrips, whitefly
  • Akarin- a broad-spectrum insecticide for the destruction of mites, aphids, sawfly, codling moth, leafworm, garden pests.
  • Bi-58- insectoaccaricide is effective against ticks, scale insects, leafworms, codling moths, suckers, moths, root pests.

Biologicals:

  • Lepidocide- for processing from caterpillars, caterpillars, sawflies on fruit and berry and forest deciduous, coniferous species.
  • Bitoxibacillin (BTB-202) completely repeats the action of the previous drug, and is also used against spider mites.
  • Gaupsin- used against all fungal diseases, as well as against ticks, codling moths, leafworms, aphids.
  • Fitoverm- recommended for combating mites, codling moth, many types of aphids, apple moths, sawflies, thrips, leafworms.

Spraying trees during flowering

During flowering, the garden is not treated with insecticides and fungicides. You can use biological products that stimulate the formation of the ovary. This is especially true when, during the flowering period of trees, the weather is not conducive to the flight of bees. Actually, the drug is called “Ovary” or “Universal Ovary”. It is classified as a growth promoter.

Fruit trees are treated twice - during the period of active flowering, and during the period of fruit formation (7-10 days after the first spraying).

Berry bushes are also sprayed twice - in the budding phase, and during the formation of the ovary.

During flowering, the intensity of work in the garden decreases. You can take the time to fill the hollows that have been cleaned and disinfected earlier.

Spraying trees and shrubs after flowering

By the time fruit formation begins, all insects have already woken up and are aimed at creating voracious offspring, which will destroy the entire future crop along with foliage - a couple of trifles. Therefore, vigilance must not be lost. At this time, fruit trees are treated from pests, guided by the principle of an individual approach.

For apricot, the main threat is clasterosporia and monilial burn. Despite previous treatments, apricot trees should be treated with copper chloride or a 1% solution of copper sulphate. If aphids and leafworms are present, add an insecticide to the spray solution.

Plum most often suffers from moniliosis, clasterosporiasis, polystigmosis, etc. For spraying, copper oxychloride is used with the addition of an insecticide (if necessary).

Sweet cherries and cherries are prone to clasterosporiasis, coccomycosis, aphids appear on the foliage, the leafworm, cherry fly, etc. are activated. From fungal diseases, trees are treated with topsin, copper oxychloride. From insects - spraying with ash, sumition.

On pears and apple trees after flowering, the appearance of powdery mildew, scab and other spots on the foliage is often observed. It is necessary to spray with fungicides such as Vectra, Rubigan, Strobi, Fast. Spraying is repeated after 12 days, while changing the drug to another.

And in this way it is necessary to analyze and spray all the fruit trees and shrubs in the garden.

After the trees have faded, there is a high risk of sawflies, mites, aphids, leafworms, and other pests. At the first sign of the presence of these "friends" of the garden, it is necessary to treat the trees with broad-spectrum insecticides - BI 58N, Rogor S, Mitak, Danadim, etc.

good harvest fruit crops largely depends on quality processing garden from pests in spring. The warm rays of the sun warm not only those resurrected from hibernation plants, but also numerous insects that overwintered in rotten leaves, under the bark of trees and shrubs, in the ground. Treatment garden trees in the spring from pests includes a number of agrotechnical measures.

When to treat trees for pests in the spring?

The first processing of fruit trees takes place in early spring, until sap flow begins, and buds are not yet formed. In moderate climate zone This is mid to late March. It is at this time that the crown is also cut off and the trunk is cleaned of overgrown lichen and dead bark. The next treatment is carried out during the period of bud formation, before flowering. Finally, the last stage of pest control in spring occurs at the end of flowering.

Measures to protect the garden from pests in the spring

Spring treatment of the garden from pests includes:

  1. Whitewashing tree trunks.
  2. Processing of near-stem soil.
  3. Spraying drugs.

Trunk whitewashing

Traditionally used for whitewashing tree trunks. slaked lime. But in order for the coating thickness to be sufficient, the barrel must be whitewashed twice. Currently, new products are used - chalk-based whitewashing with the addition of copper sulfate and PVA glue. Such a composition better disinfects the bark and lasts much longer, despite the spring precipitation.

Near-stem soil treatment

Effective mechanical processing of near-stem soil - digging trees. It needs to be done a few days before spraying with chemicals. There are many insects in the dug up earth, which will be raised to the surface with layers of soil. Birds will quickly destroy larvae and adult insects.

Drug treatment

The question is how to process fruit plants spring, very topical. It is best, of course, to get by with gentle spraying methods. Folk remedies have been used for a long time and quite effectively in gardening:

  • ash and laundry soap, diluted in hot water, cope with aphids, suckers, powdery mildew;
  • infusion saves from spider mites;
  • garlic infusion is used against caterpillars and aphids;
  • tobacco smoke helps in the fight against sucker, codling moth and other flying pests.

Chamomile, chilli peppers, and mustard are also used against pests.

Pretty safe environmental impact and human body biological products: "Fitoverm", "Barrier", "Aktofit", synthesized on the basis of soil microorganisms.

Unfortunately, it is not always possible to do without chemicals. Insecticides are widely used to control insects. For the treatment of bushes that last year suffered from sawflies, leafworms and bud mites, the means "Decis", "Marshal", "Neoron" are used. Traditional compositions are intended for spraying fruit trees: blue vitriol, iron sulfate, urea, . Of the purchased drugs, preference should be given combined means, destroying several types of insects, for example, Abiga-Peak emulsions, preparations "Inta-VIR", "Kinmiks", "Karate". It is very important, having studied the attached instructions, to follow the recommended dosage. Excessive concentration chemical substances causes burns of plants, death of pistils, and, therefore, a decrease in yield. In addition, the misuse of insecticides is detrimental to the environment.

Having chosen how to treat plants from pests, use for spraying hand pump or sprayer. In order for the solution to fall on the surface in the form of small drops, the tip of the apparatus should be kept at a distance of about 1 m from the plant.
