Why does blackcurrant bloom but not bear fruit? Black currant. The bush is big, but there are no berries! Why? Why blackcurrant does not produce berries

Currant is considered unpretentious shrub, which does not impose excessive requirements for care and growing conditions. But, there are times when the main external parameters are perfectly maintained, and the currant does not bear fruit. To understand and prevent this phenomenon will help knowledge of the reasons due to which the fruiting of the currant stops. In the article we will tell you why currants do not bear fruit, consider the main mistakes of gardeners.

Reasons for the lack of fruiting on currant bushes

There is a natural period during which currant fruiting occurs actively and abundantly. But sometimes, even good care and compliance with all conditions for growing crops, it is impossible to wait for the berries. If the currant does not bear fruit in the first year after planting, then this is normal. If the lack of fruit is observed in subsequent years, but action must be taken.

Responsibly approach the choice of currant seedlings so that the fruiting of the kut is of high quality.

The most common phenomena leading to the unnatural end of the fruiting of currant bushes:

• violation of the requirements for planting currant seedlings;
• selection of a non-zoned variety that is not able to grow and bear fruit in certain conditions of the region;
• illiterate choice of landing site for bushes;
• imbalance in the lighting of currant bushes (excess or lack of sunlight);
• discrepancy between the climate and the requirements of the plant for weather conditions;
• irrigation disturbances;
• lack of cross-pollination;
• density of landings;
• lack of pruning (formation) of bushes or illiterate conduct of this operation;
• age of currant bushes;
• crop diseases and pests.

Agrotechnical causes of infertility of currant bushes on the site

Follow the rules for planting currants so that the plant develops normally.

Summer residents can lay down further infertility of the culture even at the time of choosing a variety or planting currant seedlings. What you should pay attention to so that this does not happen:

1. The place where they are located currant bushes. For a shrub, you need to choose a place with harmonious lighting. Currant does not like shading or heavily sun-drenched areas throughout the day. The neighborhood of currants with a very warm fence will be unsuccessful. It will increase the thermal effect and will reflect the sun's rays, which will lead to overheating of the bush. Shading the bush, on the contrary, will lead to a rapid growth of green mass with no ovaries.
2. The right choice of seedling. First of all, pay attention to the presence of leaves. Saplings dug up before shedding leaves and planted in autumn freeze slightly in winter period. In addition, the greatest loss of moisture occurs through the leaves. A seedling bought with leaves will already have a dried root, which will also adversely affect its development.
3. Landing hole dimensions. If there is not enough space for the root system of a currant seedling, then the plant suffers in the first year of development. In the future, fruiting decreases and may stop. The second aspect is filling the potash pit phosphate fertilizers in autumn mixed with black soil.
4. Soil composition. Overfertilized soil also stimulates the development of greenery, but currants are in no hurry to give birth. The second factor that requires attention is the indicator of soil acidity. Currants do not bear fruit well on acidic soil.

Tip #1 Apply nitrogen fertilizers and organic matter when planting currant seedlings in early spring to ensure the normal development of the plant.

Climatic reasons for the lack of fruiting on currant bushes

Contribute different types fertilizers for currant bushes to provide optimal nutrition to plants.

If a currant seedling is planted in the right place and taking into account all the requirements of the planting stage, then another reason may be the discrepancy between the climatic conditions of the region. In this case, even a young and healthy bush refuses to bear fruit.

1. If the plant is damaged annually by recurrent spring frosts or strong winter frosts lead to the death of fruit buds, then it will not work to wait for the currant harvest.
2. Varieties intended for cultivation in the southern regions cannot cope with the changeable weather conditions of the northwestern zone. In such varieties, the buds start growing early, and when frostbitten by frost, they do not bloom. Therefore, fruiting does not occur for natural reasons.
3. In bushes with poor frost resistance, young shoots often freeze out in snowless or cold winters, on which the crop is formed. Therefore, the fruiting stage does not occur.

Before planting currants on the site, familiarize yourself with the requirements of the variety for weather conditions. It is best to choose zoned proven species.

Infertility of currants in violation of the requirements for plant care

Check the acidity of the soil to create optimal conditions for the development of currants.

Some points are not even taken into account by gardeners when currants are infertile. For example:

1. Absence of pollinating plants. It is generally believed that currants are self-fertile crops, but among modern varieties there are those that require cross-pollination for fruiting. Otherwise, a couple of berries are tied on the bushes, and not every year.
2. Insufficient watering is the second point that you need to pay attention to. Especially in hot, dry summers, even healthy large currant bushes produce a meager harvest of small berries.
3. The use of the same type of fertilizer to feed currant bushes leads to a decrease or cessation of fruiting of the crop. Read also the article: → "".

Tip #2 Carefully monitor the weather conditions in order to adjust the schedule for watering and fertilizing currant bushes in time.

Control and prevention measures for violations of agricultural technology and care

Timely measures taken at the first sign of a decrease in yield can prevent further currant infertility. And if you pay attention to the bushes before the appearance of such signs, then you can definitely avoid it.

Cause	Solutions
Wrong planting site.	Choose a site with sufficient lighting without excessive shading. Do not plant currants in the place where they will be under scorching rays sun during daylight hours.
Irrigation deficiency.	Closely monitor the air temperature and the activity of the sun. Adjust the duration and frequency of watering, taking into account these indicators. Make refreshing waterings. Mulch tree trunks to reduce moisture loss. Water in the near-stem grooves so that the water soaks the soil deeper than the top layer.
Top dressing with one type of fertilizer.	Considering the season, make nitrogen fertilizers in early spring, phosphorus-potassium during the formation of ovaries and fruiting. Adjust nutrition, taking into account the composition of the soil on the site, so as not to overdose some components and not provoke a deficiency of others. Draw up a competent plan for feeding currants, taking into account agronomic recommendations.
Planting currants in acidic soil.	Determine soil acidity using folk ways or litmus paper.
Violations when planting a seedling.	Carefully inspect the seedling before buying. Especially pay attention to the condition of the root, the presence of leaves, mechanical damage, signs of disease. Properly prepare the planting egg - maintain the dimensions, orient to the cardinal points, apply fertilizer.
Thickening of currant rows.	When planting, follow the recommended scheme. Do not skip rejuvenating and shaping pruning bushes.

Currant infertility when affected by pests and diseases

Another important factor affecting the yield of currants is damage by pests or diseases.

Problem name	How does it manifest	How to fix
Reversion (terry) currant	At the time of flowering, flowers appear with abnormal sizes - too narrow petals and overgrown pistils. On the flower tassel instead of berries are yellowish scales. The leaves change shape, become three-lobed and stretch. In addition, they lose their specific flavor.	There are no cures. Uproot the plant and burn it completely. Plant varieties that are resistant to the bud mite. For prevention, regularly inspect the bushes in order to notice the pest in time and acquire only healthy planting material.
Kidney mite damage.	Affected kidneys are round shape, larger and do not bloom. Currant branches are exposed due to the lack of leaves.	Carefully inspect the buds of the plant, especially in early spring. Early detection of the tick will prevent the pest from spreading to epidemic proportions. Remove the affected buds before the leaves begin to bloom, so as not to miss the moment the pest exits. Spray currant bushes with acaricides: "Apollo"; "Vertimek"; "Nissoran"; "Envidor". The preparations are diluted according to the instructions and sprayed on the plants.
Glass case.	The larvae of the pest eat away the core of the branches, moving along it inside. There are no external signs of injury. To detect a pest, the shoot is cut off. A black hole in the center of the cut indicates the presence of a glass case. Affected shoots do not develop and gradually dry out.	Selectively cut the shoots on the bushes. If the presence of a pest is detected, repeat the cut to a healthy core. Cover the cuts with garden pitch. With a high degree of infection, cut off the shoots in the stage of dormant buds to rejuvenate the plant. Use varieties with relative resistance to glass damage.
Defeat by forest ants.	Insects feed on the interior of the flower. Currant loses its ability to bear fruit due to the lack of ovaries.	Use biological (planting volatile plants) methods of control and the use of chemicals.
Bush aging.	This is a natural reason for the absence of ovaries and fruits on currants. Old branches differ from healthy ones in the absence of fruits and leaves.	Regularly carry out rejuvenating and shaping pruning. Leave branches no older than 5 years on the bush.

Gardeners' mistakes leading to infertility of currants

Inspect plants regularly to spot pests in time.

Gardeners make mistakes when growing currants, which lead to the fact that the bushes stop bearing fruit:

Mistakes	What do they lead to
Planted plants in the wrong place for its development.	The plant lags behind in development, its ability to bear fruit is reduced.
Currants are fed only with manure or other types of organic matter, without taking into account the needs of the crop and the composition of the soil.	An excess of nitrogen leads to hypertrophied growth of green mass and weakening of fruiting.
Regular inspections of bushes are not carried out to detect signs of damage to currants by pests and diseases.	Pests not destroyed in time quickly spread and cause irreparable harm to currant plantings.

Mistakes can be prevented by studying the requirements of agricultural technology for growing currants and carefully observing all points.

The first reason for the absence of berries on blackcurrant bushes is early flowering, which fell on the cold season, when pollinating insects were not yet active.

The second reason and the main one is the incorrect formation of the bush. The yield of currants depends very much on this.

Some gardeners practically ignore this process or leave too many basal shoots. Therefore, due to the large thickening of the bush, in its center, there are almost no currant berries.

It is necessary to form bushes from the first year. This contributes to the growth of basal shoots and good yields in subsequent years.

The formation should be completed by about 4 - 5 years after planting.

Currant, how to properly form a bush?

At young bush planted in early spring, almost the entire ground part is cut off, leaving 2-3 buds on each branch. This technique causes, as I said, the appearance of young root branches. By autumn at proper care behind a bush they should grow six to eight pieces.

The next year, reno in the spring, 1-2 shoots are cut off, leaving two buds above the soil surface. Two - three shoots are left for fruiting, and all the rest are removed without leaving a hemp.

In the third year, 10 - 12 healthy one - two-year-old basal shoots are left in the bush, located sparsely.

In the fourth year - at least 15 - 20, of which 12 - 15 are fruit-bearing. All the rest must be removed under the root.

This completes the formation of the bush. Goal achieved! This will provide us favorable conditions for the growth of fruit-bearing shoots, due to good ventilation by the wind inside the bush and sun exposure. As a result, the berries will be evenly distributed throughout the bush, not only on its periphery.

In subsequent years, pruning should be carried out in order to thin out, remove dry, diseased, lying on the ground, fruit bearing and all young branches, with the exception of replacement shoots. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the number of fruit-bearing shoots does not decrease. The longevity of root shoots is small. They bear fruit for only 4-5 years. After that, they need to be removed.

If pruning has not been carried out properly for several years and the bushes have become neglected, all weak, diseased, dry and fruit-bearing branches must first be removed. Then the bush needs to be thinned out, cutting off the shoots at the root.

If the bushes are heavily thickened, this procedure is best done in two years. In the future - annually, as usual.

Currant, how to rejuvenate an old bush?

In old barren bushes, you need to cut off the entire ground part, except for healthy ones. annual shoots. Shorten the root shoots, leaving only 1-2 buds on the soil surface. In the future, in the first two years after rejuvenation, it is necessary to apply pruning-shaping of the bush (as described above), leaving 5-6 shoots of different ages every year.

In order for currant bushes to grow strong, it is also necessary to regularly fertilize the soil around them with humus and mineral fertilizers, loosen and water.

Buying high-quality planting material in the nursery or growing it on your own, the summer resident hopes for good harvests in the future. But the time comes for fruiting, but there are no currants on the bushes. Some gardeners at the same time note the good condition of the bush, its normal foliage.

In some cases, the currant blooms, but some purple double flowers and berries never appear. It happens that flower buds appear, but deformed, similar to a miniature head of cabbage, large and loose. And again, the bush is not happy with its crops.

Black currant may not bear fruit for some reason. And the main ones are: the climatic features of the regions, non-compliance with the rules of planting and care, as well as the defeat of bushes by pests and diseases. We will talk about why blackcurrant does not bear fruit and about the main mistakes of new summer residents in this article.

Agrotechnical reasons

Already when planting a seedling, you can lay its infertility. Therefore, it is necessary to do everything so that this does not happen:

Given these provisions, the summer resident must apply preventive measures to prevent currant infertility.

Wrong landing site

From the correct choice of site for landing black currant depends on the beginning of fruiting, its productivity. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account some characteristics and parameters of the plant. Read about the characteristics of the Dubovsky grape variety.

Moisture-loving

The culture is demanding on moisture, so the distribution area is the central regions of the country. In the southern regions, black currants are planted in irrigated areas, in relief depressions. But wetlands with closely passing groundwater not suitable for planting seedlings.

Shade tolerance

Blackcurrant loves light partial shade. Therefore, it can be planted near houses. But right next to concrete fences or corrugated board is not recommended.

Some summer residents say that in this case the bushes overheat in the heat, receiving excess heat from the fences. But at the same time, such an arrangement of plants protects it in winter from frost and northern winds.

Learn about black Kishmish grape varieties.

Poor quality seedling

The yield of blackcurrant depends largely on the quality planting material, and not only from the cultivation technique or variety. For planting, you need to take seedlings with the following characteristics:

• The root system is developed, well branched, about 20 cm long;
• Shoots about 50 cm long;
• The seedling should not have leaves. If the digging of planting material occurs early, then leaves remain on the shoots. Such plants can either freeze completely in winter or will be sick for a long time after planting.

Before planting, the roots that were damaged during digging are cut with a sharp secateurs. When the root system dries up, it is necessary to soak the planting material for 12 hours in water.

Violation of the landing rules

The yield of blackcurrant, its fruiting also depends on violations of the planting rules. For example, the hole was dug too small or too big. It must be remembered that the seedling should be placed 5 cm deeper than it grew in the nursery. When planting, the roots should not remain twisted or bent upwards. Putting a plant in a hole, you need to straighten them. The soil poured on the roots is well compacted for close contact. Pro the best varieties currants for growing middle lane will tell.

Necessarily before planting a bush is necessary upper layer mix the soil with potash and phosphorus fertilizers and lay this mixture on the bottom of the pit.

Can't just pour mineral fertilizers to the planting site. This can damage its roots.

The thickening of the planting affects the plant and its fruiting. Some gardeners say that the distance between the bushes should be at least 1.5 meters. And when landing near the fence, the desired distance from it is 1.2 meters. Find out about the best varieties of blackcurrant by.

Soil composition

Blackcurrant does not like acidic soils. And such can be floodplain lands with high humidity. Visually, you can determine the acid-base balance by the plants that grow on the site. A sign of soils with strong acidity can be the presence on the site horse sorrel, plantain, horsetail. Therefore, if there are such plants in abundance there, then it is necessary to bring slaked or quicklime, or wood ash at the rate of up to 6 kilograms per 10 square meters. The dose should be less on the lungs sandy soils, and on heavy loamy it is increased. He will tell you about bush holders for currants.

Lime materials are best applied in autumn, but ash is used in any season.

Climatic reasons

Before planting seedlings, you need to make sure that this is a zoned variety. If a plant with a low level of frost resistance, then in severe frosts or snowless winters, buds will freeze on young or unripe shoots as a result of diseases. Such currants can also suffer during late spring or early autumn frosts. Therefore, fruiting from it can not be expected. If the variety is intended for the southern region (,), and the summer resident wants to grow it in his area in the northwestern zone, then this can be detrimental to the plant and its fruiting. Buds wake up and freeze before other varieties. And there will be no berries on such shoots.

Therefore, in order not to be left without a currant crop, before buying planting material, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the requirements of the variety for climatic conditions.

Violation of the rules of care

Violation of the elementary rules of care leads to blackcurrant infertility. It could be:

In more detail, some violations of the rules for caring for plants, we will consider below.

No pollinator plants

Previously, currants belonged to self-fertile crops. Now there are high-yielding with many positive characteristics varieties that need cross-pollination to bear fruit. When isolated from insects, the binding capacity may be negligible or zero. But in the presence of currant bushes of other varieties blooming nearby and the work of bees, the set rate rises by 30%. Therefore, one of the reasons for the loss of fruiting may be incorrect or the absence of a number of pollinating plants.

Poor watering

Blackcurrant is a moisture-loving plant and needs correct watering. After all, her root system fibrous and located at a depth of 10 to 60 cm. If there is not enough water, then the growth of shoots slows down. They do not ripen and go into the winter weakened. In severe frosts, the buds on such plants freeze out and there will be no fruiting. But abundant watering will also not benefit the plant.

If the summer is hot and there is no precipitation for a long period, then the bushes are watered after ten days. The norm of water is 50 liters per bush.

Poorly selected fertilizers

In order for the currant to bear fruit, it is necessary to choose the right fertilizer.

In the third dressing, there should be phosphorus and potassium, since the plant gives strength to the formation and ripening of berries. After fruiting, flower buds are laid at the currant, so again it is advisable to feed the bushes with saltpeter.

It is necessary to apply nitrogen-containing fertilizers no later than the end of August - the beginning of September, because otherwise it can cause intensive growth of young shoots that will not ripen by winter, which means the buds will freeze. And as a result - the lack of fruiting.

Diseases

Currants can be fruitless if the bushes are affected by diseases. Such as:

But the most unpleasant thing for a summer resident is reversion or terry. This is a disease in which the currant completely ceases to bear fruit.

Reversion or Terry

The first sign of the disease is the complete loss of a specific currant smell by all vegetative parts of the plant. Then you can see the changes:

• The leaves become three-lobed, strongly pointed;
• Flowers change color to purple, become double;
• There are no berries.

Bushes affected by terry are not treated. They need to be uprooted and burned.

Pests

Blackcurrant has many enemies. Insect pests affect the ripening of shoots, plant yield, fruiting. The most dangerous of them: currant vitreous, shoot gall midge, currant goldfish, bud mites, ants.

kidney mite

It develops in young currant buds, feeding on their contents.

If the summer resident sees enlarged round buds, then the pest is located in them.

Such eyes need to be pinched off, and if the bush is completely affected, then it should be uprooted and burned.

Glassware

A bluish-black butterfly with transparent wings. It begins to fly in May and lays eggs on shoots. Approximately 10 days later, caterpillars appear, which penetrate into young branches and make wormholes there. Affected shoots are cut and burned.

Ants

Ants are not only aphids. They eat the inside of the flower in search of nectar, leaving only the sepals, and as a result, the berries do not set. They gnaw the tops of young shoots and they dry up. Therefore, these pests must be systematically controlled. You can fill the nest boiled water or rummage on a spade bayonet. Good at killing insects chemicals, like Antiant, Feverfew.

Rookie Mistakes

Not only beginners, but also experienced gardeners can make mistakes when planting and growing currants, which lead to partial or complete loss of fruiting:

In most cases, currant is a self-pollinating plant, but if other varieties are planted nearby, the yield will increase, and the berries will be larger.

findings

On each personal plot central regions several currant bushes grow in the country, which pleases the summer resident with its harvest. But it happens that some plants stop bearing fruit and, naturally, the question arises about the reasons for this phenomenon. There may be several of them:

1. Wrong choice of non-zoned seedlings.
2. Violation of planting rules.
3. Errors in the care of bushes: improper watering and, poorly selected fertilizers, irregular thinning - pruning.
4. Damage to bushes by pests and diseases. Such as powdery mildew, reversion, currant vitreous, currant gall midge, bud mite and others.

It is believed that currant is an unpretentious plant. And this is actually so - it grows for itself in the forest without any care, and besides, it also bears fruit. But it also happens the other way around, when the bush looks good, develops normally, but there are no berries. Why is this happening?

If the bush is no longer young, has been in the same place for many years, but does not even try to bloom, then most likely the matter is its age. Currant fruiting occurs mainly on relatively young shoots - no older than four years. Every year it moves to the edges of the bush, and the branches gradually lose their ability to grow. Usually currants, both black and colored, bear fruit well for ten years or a little more. Then flowering stops - the bush is aging.

What to do with such a plant? The easiest way is to uproot and plant a new bush. But you can try to rejuvenate it. To do this, the plant is heavily thinned, removing all old and mossy branches and leaving only the youngest shoots. Sometimes they even cut it at the root in order to get a friendly growth next year. And, of course, it is necessary to feed the currants - with organic matter or complete mineral fertilizer.

When a healthy and young bush refuses to bear fruit, then most likely it is simply not suitable for this climate. This happens when currants are annually damaged by spring frosts, or fruit buds die in winter due to low frost resistance. The fact is that the southern varieties are not adapted to the changing weather conditions of the northwest. The buds begin to grow early and, frozen, can no longer bloom.

Another reason why a young and healthy currant bush may not bear fruit is the lack of pollinators. Although most varieties are self-fertile, sometimes there are those that produce only one or two berries without cross-pollination, and even then not every year. There is only one treatment here - it is necessary to ensure pollination in any way.

And finally, there are cases when young bushes grow well, have lush dark green foliage and huge annual growths. But no matter how they feed them, no matter how they water them, they do not begin to bloom. Most likely, such plants simply “fatten” - they endlessly increase their green mass due to excess nitrogen in too “fatty” soil. To force them to bear fruit, it is necessary to eliminate the cause that caused the nutrient imbalance, feed them with potassium and phosphorus, and monitor which fertilizers fall into areas close to the roots.

Lack of yield can also be caused by disease of the bush with terry. Signs of it are found during flowering. Sick flowers are characterized by abnormally narrow petals and overgrown pistils. The flower tassel becomes like a thin twig, covered with yellowish scales instead of berries. The leaves grow three-lobed and abnormally elongated. The disease is contagious and cannot be treated. Sick bushes must be uprooted and burned along with the roots.

Prevents the formation of berries and the defeat of currants with a glass case, as well as insect pests that eat away the pistils of flowers and young ovaries. According to some reports, even large forest ants, which have bred heavily on the site, can do this. It's better to fight them biological methods, but if those do not help, you have to use stronger chemicals.

Usually, hopeless situations can not be. If desired, fruiting can be restored in one way or another, especially if the variety is rare and valuable, capable of producing good and tasty berries.

Currant belongs to the shrubs of the gooseberry family. With proper care, this crop will develop and produce good yields in one place for many years. The plant is common in Europe and Asia, also found in North America. For normal development, the bush must be planted on a hill in a well-lit place with loose aerated soil. Currant berries contain a huge amount of vitamins, as well as trace elements, organic acids. Ripe fruits are used for food fresh, jams, jams, compotes are prepared from them, used for freezing.

Many gardeners, and especially beginners, face certain difficulties when growing this crop. Next, we consider what reasons can cause the lack of fruiting in this berry. Special attention Let's look at ways to solve problems that arise.

Too little or too much light

According to experienced gardeners the peak of currant fruiting falls on the 5th year after planting this plant. If the culture did not form berries in the first year, then this is not a cause for concern, but if there is no fruiting in the second and third year, then it is worth considering. One of the main answers to the question why currants do not bear fruit is the lack of sunlight. The plant can withstand intense solar lighting, but for a short time.

Excess natural light for bushes is also harmful. In the sun, a significant part of the formed berries fall off, which will eventually lead to a loss in yield. Based on the above reasons, it is better to plant currants in a shaded place so that only diffused light falls on the leaves of the culture.

bush aging

The currant bush has a yield potential for 7-10 years, after which the plant exhausts its natural resource. You can rejuvenate the culture by pruning, but if this does not help, then the currants are uprooted. They're digging a new one next door landing pit, mix the soil with fertilizers and plant a new plant.

Soil conditions

The condition of the soil plays an important role in the cultivation of the crop in question. The soil should be loose in structure, contain a sufficient amount of nutrients in its composition. Heavy soils are contraindicated, they can lead to moisture stagnation, which will cause rotting of the plant's root system. To saturate the earth nutrients before planting, organic and mineral fertilizers are applied, if necessary, top dressing is carried out.

Excess fertilizer for currants is also harmful. In the case when the land has a high degree of fertility, a trench is made at a distance of 40 centimeters from the bush along the circumference of the crown. This hole is then filled wood ash, clay soil and bone meal. Soil acidity should be neutral. Chalk or lime is added to the composition of acidic earth. Such operations must be carried out about a year before planting the crop.

weather influences

The lack of a blackcurrant crop often causes adverse weather. The crop under consideration belongs to heat-loving plants, therefore, when growing berries, it is necessary to select only zoned varieties. If in the southern regions of our country gardeners manage to get rich harvests large-fruited currant, then such varieties are unlikely to be suitable for the Urals or Siberia.

Spring frosts often lead to freezing of the kidneys. Among other unfavorable weather phenomena, a sharp temperature drop and a persistent drought should be mentioned. The plant does not tolerate rainy weather, because excess moisture can lead to rotting of the root system and shedding of berries. Most often, the lack of a blackcurrant crop is associated with the influence spring frosts. That is why for a particular region of our country it is necessary to select zoned varieties.

The impact of diseases and pests

The formation and further development of fruit clusters is still not enough to get a rich harvest. During the growing season, it is important to protect the plant from the effects of diseases and pests. Reversion is considered one of the main diseases of the currant. This disease leads to lengthening sheet plates and the appearance of veins. In this case, the aroma of berries is almost not felt; during the flowering period, the petals of the inflorescences turn purple. It is impossible to help plants with this disease, they are removed from garden plot and burn.
