SPRING TREATMENT OF THE GARDEN - HOW EVERYTHING AND BETTER

Before the flowering of fruit crops begins, gardeners need to do a lot: remove and clean the garden from last year’s plant residues, plant and transplant new trees, prune and plant them. In the list of important and urgent work, one of the first places is occupied by the treatment of fruit trees with preparations for protection against pests and diseases.

It can be said that this operation opens a new season - it cannot be neglected, since it depends on the first early spring spraying whether the plants will be healthy for the whole next year and whether they will produce a bountiful harvest.

The first spring treatment is carried out after pruning fruit trees and shrubs, when the average daily temperature reached a constant positive value in 5 ° C, but the snow had not completely melted. During this period, the pests are dormant. For the first eradicating spraying, it is recommended to apply the solution of the preparation ZOV (76% oil emulsion) - 200 g of substance per 10 l of water.

Oil emulsion is environmentally friendly. It forms a thin film on the bark of shoots, skeletal branches and trunk, which blocks the supply of oxygen and moisture to harmful insects hibernating in the stage of eggs and larvae, which leads to their death. The drug ZOV acts against the larvae of all types of pseudoschitovok and shchitovok, eggs of fruit mites, and so on.

The second spring treatment coincides with the beginning of the sap flow of plantswhen insects are still inactive and vulnerable. This time, trees and bushes sprayed with 7% urea.

Urea refers to nitrogen fertilizers of the highest concentration (almost 46%). It is also an environmentally friendly tool, very effective against pathogens of fungal diseases and viruses. Urea is instantly absorbed by plants and begins to act almost immediately after application - a big plus in the fight against harmful insects, when every minute is dear. The action of urea has a long period.

Additionally, Early spring spraying of fruit trees with urea protects the garden not only from diseases and insects, but also from spring frosts, detrimental to flowers. Nitrogen is absorbed through the bark into plant tissue and slows the growing season by 1-2 weeks. Trees begin to bloom after the most dangerous frosts fall out, capable of destroying the entire future harvest.

To increase the effectiveness of urea, it is combined with copper sulphate (700 g of urea, 50 g of copper sulphate on 10 l of water) - a fertilizer with protective properties is obtained. Treating trees and soil in tree trunks are treated with this solution, especially areas with fallen leaves, under which pests like to spend the winter. Urea inhibits insects and their ability to reproduce, preventing the primary infection of the garden with a scab in the early spring period.

If the plants still show signs of damage by scab or other fungal diseases, the treatment is repeated.

In the budding phase and before flowering in the garden, the larvae of the pear leaflet, the silkworm, sawfly, the sheet-gnawing caterpillars and other pests "come alive." Anti-insecticides permitted for sale to the public (for example, BI-58, decis) can be used in a tank mix with fungicides (speed, strobi, horus, etc.). 1% Bordeaux liquid is also used.

In the flowering phase, the plants are not sprayed in order not to harm the pollinating insects. Immediately after flowering, treatment is carried out for blotches, powdery mildew, scab, fruit rot with fungicides topsin-m, 10 g, flint, 1,5 g, strobe, 2 g, scor, 2 g, chorus, 3 g, with the addition of BI-XNUM insecticides , aktar and others.

If necessary, for winter varieties of apples and pears, the treatment (with a tank mixture of a fungicide and an insecticide) is repeated after two to three weeks - from pests, scab and fruit rot. If necessary, after two or three weeks, repeat the treatment of winter varieties of apples and pears (a tank mixture of fungicide and insecticide) - from pests, scab and fruit rot. Daily worms are collected and rotten fruit. They are removed from the site and buried in the soil to a depth of at least 50, see

Of course, every garden owner himself determines when and which trees to process. Some gardens with low infectious backgrounds do not need sprays at all.

If the concentration of pests is low and they can not cause significant harm, it is better to leave the trees alone and get an environmentally friendly crop. An individual approach to each plant is important, because different cultures are affected by different diseases, many stone pests are not particularly dangerous for pome plants. It is also necessary to take into account the economic characteristics of varieties, their resistance to common diseases. For example, varieties resistant to scab, can not be sprayed with fungicides, and the poorly resistant need protection.

I wish everyone in the new season healthy plants in the garden and a generous harvest.
