Berry bushes processing
Strawberries, raspberries, currants and other horticultural crops often suffer from viral and fungal diseases, and are susceptible to attack by arthropods. The first treatment is carried out in early spring, before the buds begin to bloom. Pre-crops are examined and cut, the soil is freed from old foliage and loosened. After harvesting, the planting is necessarily sprayed for prophylaxis.
Currants and gooseberries
In April, at a temperature of 13-15 degrees, the first spraying of insects is carried out. The pesticide Actellik is used.
In early May, a kidney mite appears. Colloidal sulfur is used to combat it. Dissolve 50-100 g of suspension in water and spray the bushes so that the liquid does not get on the leaves. The preparations "Tanrek" and "Novaktion" help with other pests.
Black currant suffers from terry - a dangerous viral disease. Sign: fleecy lilac flowers. Damaged shrubs are removed from the site.
Gooseberries are often attacked by moths and sawflies. How to fight:
- After the seedling has flowered, it is undone and the butterflies are removed.
- The beetle larvae are shaken off the plant.
- After the pests are eliminated, the berries are sprayed with the Azofoski solution 2 times with an interval of two weeks.
At the first signs of powdery mildew, a solution of soda ash or copper sulfate with soap is used. The procedure is repeated after 10 days. After harvesting, the shrubs are sprayed with Aktellik, Fufanon or Azofos.
How and what to process garden strawberries
Colloidal sulfur helps in the fight against powdery mildew, spider mites and raspberry flower beetles. Plants are cultivated in early May, when buds begin to tie on the bushes. How to apply:
- In 10 liters of water, dilute 100 g of the drug.
- The solution is sprayed on strawberries.
During flowering, gray rot often appears on strawberries. The preventive measures are as follows:
- Mulch the planting site with straw.
- Spray the ground with slaked lime.
- Place slug traps on the beds.
When the berries are ripe, strawberries can get sick with nematodes. They are indicated by thickening of the foliage stalks. It will not work to save the affected shrubs, so they are dug up and burned.
At the end of summer, plantings are sprayed with Bordeaux liquid. This will prevent gray mold and spotting from developing. Fufanon provides reliable and comprehensive protection.
Raspberry
The first spring treatment is carried out early, in March - April, with any fungicidal agent. When the buds begin to bloom, the culture is sprayed with Bordeaux liquid (1%). In areas where insect pests often appear, special preparations are used, for example, "Inta Vir" and "Anti-tick". During the setting of buds, the plants are sprayed with Novaktion and Aktellik.
Berry and fruit tree processing
Plums, cherries and apple plantings at the end and beginning of the garden seasons are treated with preparations after thinning. During the fruiting period, they regularly harvest and carefully examine the fruits and plantings in order to notice damage in time.
Cherries and plums
Spring pruning is carried out in April. In early May, the trees are sprayed with 1% Bordeaux liquid. The next treatment is carried out before the plants begin to fade, after about 2 weeks the procedure is repeated.
"Novaktion" and "Fufanon" save from insects gnawing on plant leaves. Mites are destroyed by a solution of colloidal sulfur. In case of a repeated attack of insects, the treatment can be repeated after 15–20 days.
Pear and apple tree
The larvae of aphids, scale insects, ticks, etc. often overwinter on trees. In April, as soon as it gets warmer to +5, the crops are sprayed with "Preventor".
With bud break, weevils appear. They are periodically shaken off, and the plantings are treated with a 3% solution of Bordeaux liquid. Colloidal sulfur copes with the pear mite (100 g of the drug is dissolved in 10 liters of water).
Trees are sprayed with 1% Bordeaux liquid before and after flowering. Spraying foliage with colloidal sulfur protects against insects, mottling, dew and a number of other diseases. If necessary, apply several times per season, observing an interval of 10 days.
The complex preparation "Decis" protects against various insects. Insecticide "Karate" is used against the moth.
