    As soon as I pick currants, I will certainly mark the bush that fully justified my hopes for the harvest, and I cut woody cuttings from it for propagation.

    And I’ll pick berries - I’ll immediately feed the currant bushes with a small amount of nitrogen (20-30 g of ammonium nitrate per bush), or with a mullein solution diluted four times with water. Indeed, at this time, the currant is expending nutrients with might and main on laying the kidneys, and in addition, it stores food for overwintering. Oh, and don't forget to water the currant bushes!

    Then I carefully examine the currants and remove the shoots damaged by the stem gall midge (they are easy to see by the withering leaves), as well as the branches, the core of which the glass has gnawed through. Unfortunately, they cannot be distinguished from healthy ones, only when cut off are the dark holes of the caterpillar's course visible. Although sometimes damaged branches suddenly wither along with the berries.
    From American powdery mildew, I treat bushes with thiovit, jet and topaz preparations; from anthracnose, septoria and columnar rust - vectra, topaz, foundationazole, strobi. I also remove gall midges, aphids, sawflies, leaf-eating aphids with the help of appropriate preparations, and with a weak lesion - with infusions of mustard, ash or a decoction of tomato tops.
