Bacterial pear burn: drugs and folk remedies

Seven years ago, we, three neighbors in the plots, without speculating, bought a pear seedlings at the autumn fair.

Planted them in the fall, they carried the winter well and in the spring, to our general satisfaction, turned green.

Sorts of all were different, which only added to us the joy, because we were counting on pereopylenie: the landing was about ten meters apart.

The first anxiety appeared at the end of June, when on young growths the leaves first acquired a reddish hue, and then their edges turned black, as if someone had singed them with fire. And so on all three sites. We discussed different versions, but agreed that it is the effects of freezing (spring was extremely uneven in the weather) or the death of roots from soaking. They did not exclude any bacterial muck, so, treating tomatoes against late blight, they went through sprayers and pears. And closer to August on the trees again appeared green leaves, and we calmed down. But in the beginning of September, a neighbor had dried her pear completely.

I, frightened, my own processed 3% solution of copper sulfate.

The spring of next year did not bode ill. Again everything turned green, new growths grew, and suddenly again in June-reddening of the leaves, then a marginal burn, and in some places a burn of whole leaves, the tip of the shoot withered and curved. I again tried to treat the seedling with various preparations from fungal and infectious diseases, but there was almost no effect.

Bacterial burn: and on neighboring pears

Now the second neighbor has lost the pear. My while holding, although it was bad. I cut off the dead ends and again treated with copper sulfate, realizing that this will not help cardinally.

The following spring, everything repeated: the overgrown branches turned black and withered. She began to study literature and scour the Internet for answers. There was very little information, but it all came down to a bacterial burn. The disease, which, according to even reputable experts, is very dangerous - leads to the destruction of apple trees and pears in vast territories, is easily transmitted by flying insects (and even when cut by wind), and most importantly, it can not be cured. It remained only to cut a tree and certainly burn it.

But I felt sorry for him, and I began the fight for saving the pear.

Bacterial pear burn - pruning anything and everything

Armed with a secateurs, she cut off all the sore spots on the branches to healthy tissue (there, on the cuts, a muddy, pus-like liquid appeared in the core). I had to do this mercilessly: I cut the branches by half and more, and from some there were only 10-20 cm cuttings left. And all this at the height of summer, when there is intensive growth! But what to do? As a result, the four-year-old tree turned into a terrible stump ... My 77-year-old mother sighed, groaned and let out a tear at every look at him. The neighbors looked with surprise and curiosity.

In the literature it is said that the young plants suffer from a bacterial burn, and if the tree grows and gets stronger, the disease will not cause irreparable damage. Preparations based on copper do not give the desired effect, although they help to cope with other pear diseases, mainly with scab and fungal infections. And in this case we are dealing with a bacterium.

Can an antibiotic help from a bacterial burn?

But such drugs for the treatment of plants simply does not exist. And I decided to take advantage of what was in my dacha first-aid kit.

Having rummaged in it, I found expired tablets (I think the name is not important here, the main thing is the antibiotic). But how to feed them a plant? First, I spread 3 tablets in 1 tbsp. l water and this suspension processed all sections after trimming (after drying grains of medicine froze on them). Then she sprayed the remaining leaves and the trunk with another solution: 2 tablets per 1 liter of water. After a day, I painted the sections with paint. For better growth, the plant poured water with mineral fertilizers. Two weeks later, she repeated spraying, and ash was poured into the trunk circle. From the awakened buds, shoots started again, and I had hope. Processing was repeated after two to three weeks, and after leaf fall - again copper sulfate.

I waited anxiously for spring, I was thinking and wondering if my pear would wake up after so many trials. Even dreams became somehow nervous. But the tree woke up and released leaves. True, in June, blackening tips again appeared on one branch, which means that it did not completely cut it off. I had to delete the branch and process the tree again in full. I took another antibiotic, but kept the same proportions. Over the next two years, the disease did not appear, and the tree had already grown and strengthened significantly, pleased me with flowering and first fruits — there were already seven pieces ...

I think we defeated the disease with a pear. And last year, I planted four more varieties into the crown of my pear - all took root. I do not insist on the correctness of my method, but in this case it worked - maybe it will help someone else.

Our advice:

Spraying garden trees from pests in summer with Bordeaux liquid (as well as other copper-containing preparations) can lead to burns of leaves. And the point here is not so much in the concentration of the substance, but in the effect of direct sunlight. Therefore, before processing the entire crown, it is worth spraying first one “control” branch.

Adult trees are also affected. Some of the cheapest antibiotic is not treated, tested on their own trees. I had to uproot all the pears, now it’s the turn of the apple tree :(. Last summer a young apple tree fell ill, cut off diseased branches and after reading tips, sprayed it with “some cheapest antibiotic” for two months - the result was zero, the burn went into the trunk. I’ll have to cut it. I spoke with nurseries, they all say - there is only one way: to clean everything, to heal the land and only then plant new and constantly spray with different drugs, but in this case the positive result is very doubtful, as I will do it, but the neighbors don’t ...

In the first weeks of spring, stone crops suffer from sunburn on the trunks and in the forks of the skeletal branches. This occurs as a result of strong heating of the crust on sunny days and subsequent strong cooling during night frosts. To prevent burns in early March, the stems and skeletal branches need to be painted with sun-protection whitewash, if you have not done it yet in the fall.

in May of last year planted two pears in the garden: Forest beauty and Augustow dew. Bought, however, they are not in the nursery, but with hands, but they settled down normally. But at the beginning of this summer, the leaves at the top of the trees turned black, and the tips of the shoots withered and crooked. He began to wool all kinds of literature and began to incline to the fact that my pears suffered from a bacterial burn. Well, an hour from the hour is not easier, because in those books, or some tricky ways of treating this illness were offered, or immediately said that the trees cover.
And here it was just the new issue of “Summer Cottage” that I received with that cherished article. Immediately, he did all the procedures described there. I cut off all the affected shoots, spread three tablets of the cheapest antibiotic in 1 tbsp. l water and processed all the learned sections. Then he sprayed the remaining leaves and trunk with a solution of the same antibiotic, but in a different concentration: 2 tablets per 1 liter of water. And in a day painted sections with paint. Two weeks later he repeated spraying, while he poured ash into the trunk circle. All this was repeated three times in a season. And here is the result - new shoots 20-25 cm long have grown.

  From this description, it is quite difficult to understand the true cause of the problem. Most likely, the wasp is pierced by the fruit - they fly by the smell and regale themselves with pear juice. By piercing the fruit, insects damage the skin of the fruit, which leads to infection with moniliosis. Be sure to remove the scavenger around the trees, it is the fallen fruits that attract wasps, which then begin to damage the mature fruits of the pear.
