Before obzavolsya own little garden, and I could not imagine that apples can rot even in the branches of a tree, Not really maturing. Imagine my surprise when the favorite kind of strange disease struck, and instead of a few buckets of ripe apple with two apples, one with a fairly young tree with a single adult, I only obzavolsya bunch rot for compost pit.
Firmly determined to prevent crop losses in the future, I turned to gardening theory in search of ways to combat the disease unknown to me then.
a brief educational program
I realized quickly enough that my favorite apple combat the disease called "moniliosis". It belongs to the class of fungi, and can affect not only the fruit trees, but in general almost any fruit crops. The worst news was that completely defeat the disease by destroying the fungus spores chemical or "popular" method, it was impossible.
Disease is exacerbated also other pestsWasps, caterpillars and other lovers feast on sweet fruits to create on their surface damage, sufficient to ensure that the fungus was successfully developed in them. Despite the rather lamentable total balance of cases, it was possible with the help of a set of measures significantly reduce the number of affected fetuses, and I clutched at it like a drowning man clutching at straw.
The war with the fungus
First of all, I ripped all the affected apples and burned them (the only way to achieve the destruction of the fungus on the fruit). Resigned to the loss of most of the current crop, I prepared for a protracted fight with moniliosis the following year, in the autumn time carefully crafted apple (cleared of old bark scraper obkopav and fertilize it, and sprinkled with a solution of copper sulfate).
Early spring Horus handled tree (neighbor alternatively Horus advised as 3 percent liquid Bordeaux) and then repeated the operation just before flowering.
Do not forget about the trunk processing: whitened it with lime, cut the dried branches. Treatment fungicides spent twice more, the last time - in just a couple of weeks before harvesting.
As expected, win annoying fungus in the first year I was not able, however, the number of affected fetuses decreased significantly, and I was able to fully enjoy the harvest.
In the fall, in addition to careful processing wood sulphate solution (100 grams per bucket of water for at least 3 liters on wood), I handled it well, and nearby trees, then gathered all the fallen leaves around and burned her. The following year, tried to pour the apple tree only as needed (winter watering formula all the fruit trees you can learn hereCome in handy), and cleared the ground around it from weeds, providing the maximum amount of the Sun "by the roots." This has helped to create an even more hostile environment for the life of the fungus, which, to my great joy, almost completely ceased to amaze fruit.
