The most beloved of garden berries believe raspberries. Aroma, taste, color, shape - all happy in it.
How sad when at harvest of berries crawling small white worms, or berries in half black; leaves at the height of the season start to turn yellow and fall off.
raspberry pests
Raspberries like any plant susceptible to various diseases of fungal, bacterial and viral origin. Still love him pests: mite raspberry, spider mite, raspberry beetle. The disease is manifested in the form of leaves and branches of drying, appearance of growths on the branches, discoloration lamina, premature fall of leaves, fruits blackening.
raspberry beetle
Among the main pests of raspberry include raspberry beetle. The female beetle lays up in the spring of 40 eggs, of which there are worms that feed on the juice of raspberries. Suffice dozen such samochek and raspberry bushes will be ruined.
How to deal with the raspberry beetle
Grown specimens down to the ground and burrow into it. To prevent the appearance of worms and other pests, and to get rid of them, I was treated twice with raspberry bushes for the season. Early in the spring, two weeks before the formation of buds, and after the harvest at the end of the season spray the bushes Fufanonom and the ground under the plants with liquid Bordeaux.
prevention
For the prevention of plant diseases in the early spring spray the fitosporin -M. It is a universal tool for the control of fungal and bacterial diseases. If processing for some reason could not be held in the spring and signs of the disease were found in the period of fruiting raspberries, apply again fitosporin.
But before spraying delete all yellowed leaves, withered branches and burn them. After processing, raspberries can not eat for two days, because before processing collect all the ripe berries. Slightly loosen the soil under the bushes. I do this with a fork, so as not to damage the roots just pierces the depths.
Processing plant is better in overcast but not rainy weather or in the evening, before sunset. If the processing to take place in sunny weather, the liquid forms droplets on the leaves, through which, as through a magnifying glass, the plants get a burn. In addition, drugs in the sun quickly dries and does not have time to act on pathogens or pests.
If you handle in the rain wash off chemicals into the soil and will not have any action on the plant roots absorb poisons and postponed in the fruit. Process must not only buds or damaged parts, and the whole plant: branches, leaves and flowers, as well as the ground around the plants. Concentration of solutions and flow rate for processing specified in bags and fitosporin Fufanona.
