Spring is the beginning of gardening work for. Not only nature awakens, but also various insects- pests that interfere with the growth and bearing of fruit trees and shrubs. In order for pests to summer cottage was as little as possible, it is important not to waste time, and to carry out the processing of plants on time. How to process trees and bushes in the spring in the garden from pests? The answer to this question will help you preserve not only the plant, but also its fruits.

How to treat trees and bushes in the spring in the garden from pests?

Processing trees and shrubs - what to use?

With the onset of warmth and with the melting of snow, you can proceed to the spring inspection of fruit trees and shrubs, with the aim of their further processing. First of all, it is necessary to cut off excess diseased branches and twigs, to clean the trunk of dead bark and lichen present on it. Cleared places should be processed garden pitch or other special means.

• Whitewashing of plants... Usually, a slaked lime solution is used for whitewashing, which is applied in two layers to enhance the effect. Currently, there are products on sale for whitewashing trees and shrubs containing copper sulfate and PVA glue. This composition is more stable than mortar, and protects against pests and disinfects the bark.

• Digging soil... 3-4 days before spraying trees, you need to dig up the soil around them, in order to bring pests to the surface, where they will be destroyed.

• Spraying... You can start spraying all trees and shrubs from the end of March. Processing is best done in the evening.

Various preparations are used to treat trees and shrubs. Of the chemicals, the following types are most often used.

• Even before the buds swell (preferably at the end of March), all trees and bushes on the site should be sprayed with a solution of copper sulfate (100 grams are taken per bucket of water). This will help to avoid fungal diseases, the formation of mosses and lichens, black cancer, scab. Bordeaux liquid also helps. These are the most popular and proven remedies.
• To protect grapes from spotted necrosis, anthracnose and bacterial cancer, it must be treated with an aqueous solution of ferrous sulfate (200 grams of the product per bucket of water), spraying the vine and soil under the plant. It is necessary to carry out the procedure before the swelling of the kidneys, in the period until mid-April.
• Pears and apple trees must be treated before flowering with Iskra-M, Fufanon, Karbofos. They are able to prevent the appearance of ticks, weevils, flower beetles, copperheads. If the pests have already settled on the plants, then the treatment must be carried out twice. The second time is after flowering.

But often, summer residents are used to process horticultural crops, and folk methods. For example, to get rid of spider mite use infusion onion peel... Against caterpillars and aphids - infusion of garlic. Diluted in hot water laundry soap and ash, help to cope with aphids, honeydew, powdery mildew.

In order to process trees and shrubs with high quality, they usually use hand pump or a sprayer, holding it at a distance of 80 - 100 centimeters from the plants during the procedure. From this distance, the solution will fall on the leaves and branches in the form of small drops. When spraying, for self-protection from pesticides, you should use a respirator (or gauze bandage), glasses, a hat and gloves. Spraying of trees is done from top to bottom, first the upper branches and then the lower ones. After the branches, the trunk and the area under the tree are processed.

So, now you know how to process trees and bushes in the spring in the garden from pests? But it must be remembered that processing should be done only with a newly prepared preparation.

Spraying trees and shrubs in spring

Would you like to crunch appetizingly with a juicy apple from your plot, cook aromatic pear jam or put confitures and cherry compote on the table in front of your guests? And different pests also have views on yours. fruit trees... Their list of dishes will not be as varied as that of a person, but trust me, you will not get anything. Therefore, all avid gardeners know the timing of the processing of fruit trees from pests - in the spring the battle for the harvest begins.

With whom do you have to fight?

The fruit garden attracts many small pests. Some of them are omnivorous and pose a threat to trees in general, and some are gourmets. Serve foliage, buds or fruits like that. That is why processing is complex and multifaceted, it begins in early spring and includes a variety of chemical or folk remedies.

From whom to protect orchard and by what signs to recognize pests, it is described in the table:

As it is easy to understand, the life cycle of pests goes through 3 or 4 stages:

1. Creation of a clutch of eggs (in spring).
2. The appearance of caterpillars or larvae. At this stage, the orchard receives maximum damage, because the insect is busy with active feeding in order to grow and begin to reproduce.
3. Pupation.
4. The emergence of an adult pest. Here, the trees are again actively attacked, as insects need to gain strength before a new clutch of eggs.

The fruit garden needs to be processed more than once in order to destroy the surviving pests that have passed from one stage of development to another.

Terms of work to protect against pests

Processing fruit trees start in early spring:

• Until the buds have blossomed and are in the green cone stage.
• Before the fruit garden begins to bloom. That is, the inflorescences are just taking shape, and you can see isolated buds. If these deadlines are missed, then the drugs will harm bees and other beneficial insects.
• After the end of flowering. These terms are individual for different kind trees. But processing in any case should be carried out no later than 5 days after the fruit crop has faded.

If it comes about those pests of trees that give several generations, then the drugs are used not only in spring. At the beginning of summer, pears, apples, plums and cherries are treated for ticks, aphids and copperheads.

What are fruit plants sick with?

In early spring, trees and shrubs in the garden need to be treated not only from pests. Diseases of fruit crops harm the future harvest no less than insects. They can be conditionally divided into two groups:

Most often, fruit trees suffer from:

• scab,
• fruit rot,
• powdery mildew,
• bacterial burn.

Processing times from them berry bushes also fall in the spring.

What drugs and remedies will help eliminate pests and diseases

Diseases of fruit and pests in the spring can be destroyed chemical means and folk methods... Both varieties are popular, so we will consider each separately.

The drugs can be divided into several groups according to the principle of "who is destroyed":

• fungicides help against fungi;
• insecticides save insects;
• antibiotics for viral infections of trees;
• nematocides kill nematodes;
• acaricides fight ticks;
• bactericides protect against bacterial infections;
• zoocides help with rodents.

How to win the battle against the scab?

Bordeaux liquid will help protect pears and apple trees from scab. This drug is a mixture of slaked lime with copper sulfate. Beetles, larvae, scab and rot will not be able to resist such a composition. You can use copper sulfate separately, but the effect will be weaker.

Treatment against scab begins from the tops of the trees, in the spring, until the buds have blossomed. To begin with, use a 3% solution, and the repeated procedure is carried out with 1% Bordeaux liquid after flowering. If the weather is rainy, then the scab is much more likely to develop. Therefore, within a month, you need to repeat the spraying twice.

After the end of flowering, you can use the fungicide Speed. last fight with scab - no later than a month before harvesting. If the tree is severely affected, the DNOC remedy will help, the term of use is early spring. When starting spraying against scab, remember: in apple trees, the upper side of the leaves is more often affected, in pears, the lower side.

Iron vitriol use as fertilizer. It increases productivity, is very useful for old and weakened trees, and is indispensable for shrubs. However, experienced summer residents use iron vitriol to protect fruit and berry crops from scab, rot and a number of other diseases. It is introduced into the soil during the autumn and spring digging of the soil, solutions and mixtures are made against lichen.

Urea treatment

A fertilizer and pest control agent familiar to many gardeners is urea (carbamide).

The first treatment with urea is carried out in the spring before bud formation, when the air warms up to + 5 ° C. Make a solution: 0.5 or 0.7 kg of urea per 10 liters of water. This will help against aphids, honeydew, apple blossom beetle, weevil.

Pruning and other maintenance and pest control measures in spring

Other preventive measures are helpful against aphids and other pests:

1. Whitewashing of trunks. Many insects hibernate in the bark, slaked lime or products based on it help fight them.
2. Pruning branches. Pests are most often chosen by old branches. In the fall, you need to carefully examine the trees, remove diseased and affected branches. V spring pruning includes the removal of old flaking bark. The cleaned area is treated with garden varnish, disinfected with vitriol and covered with paint. Pruning and cleaning is carried out after a tarp is spread under the tree - all pests will fall on it, and then they will be destroyed by you.
3. Unlike aphids, adult sawflies and weevils can be shaken off. When shaken, they fall onto the spread film, which then needs to be burned.

An apple blossom beetle and other pests fall into the trapping belts, you also need to dig up the soil. Gardeners have a lot of work in the spring, and the deadlines can be tight. If you do not have time with processing, you can miss the harvest. In this case, it is better to trust the professionals who provide services for the processing of trees in the spring.

Spraying the garden in spring is one of the main agricultural activities. But, unfortunately, not everyone knows about this. Many owners of household plots approach this process in the spring formally, not really thinking about the main essence of the agronomic procedure. In this case, spraying the garden in the springtime can turn into a merciless and pointless exercise. Everyone probably understands a great desire to protect their garden from various diseases and pests. In conditions middle lane Russian fruit and berry harvest is constantly threatened by at least 60-70 species different insects- pests, and about 20 types of infectious diseases. People have in their hands effective methods fight against them. But in this case, food and the environment can become dangerous for the person himself. Finding a balance is the main task of conducting spring works... In this article, we decided to tell you about how to spray the garden in early spring from diseases and pests. All the means that we will give here will be effective and, moreover, safe for the person himself.

Some extremes at the time of spraying

Refusal to process.

It should be admitted that it is far from the worst option that complete absence carrying out large preventive irrigation. Naturally, this will turn out to be more reasonable than excessiveness.

• You can relax a little if your personal plot is still young and has not yet been able to accumulate many different harmful substances and organisms.
• In your garden, you can plant sustainable and unpretentious varieties... There are apple trees without scab, without problem roses, gooseberries without spheroteka, black currants without red-headed aphids and mites, strawberries without gray rot.
• It is necessary to constantly carry out various agrotechnical works (pruning, thinning, deacidification, digging, mulching, fertilizing the soil, setting traps, etc.)
• It is very useful from the onset of spring to the beginning of autumn to spray trees with various simulators and biological preparations: Zircon, Gumi, Epin, biopesticides Strobi and Fitoferon, microbiological preparations such as Fitosparin.
• Many supporters of organic farming may simply give up if their garden is constantly dying. a large number of harvest. In this case, there is only one way out: the search for a compromise, namely, causing the minimum harm while obtaining the maximum benefit. It is necessary to reduce the number of diseases and pests, not forgetting about the environment.

Everything at once

How to spray the garden in spring before blooming from everything? This question can be heard in the spring in every garden store. Even the simplest question from any sensible seller: Do you need a remedy for pests or diseases? May cause a stupor in the buyer. Of course, some seller can sell the coveted product, much to the delight of the buyer. As we can see, there will be two results. And they are both, unfortunately, disappointing:

• There is practically no effect from processing.
• The garden will accumulate poisons.

Despite any, at first glance, very convincing advertising and our employment, it is necessary to stop for a couple of minutes and try to face the truth: there is no one super-ideal drug and the timing of spraying the garden in the spring from pests and diseases.

Spring is a loose concept

In many gardening recommendations, it is necessary to divide the seasons into natural and calendar ones. For carrying out agrotechnical work, two main natural indicators are important (in different regions of our country, the dates will differ by a month or more) - the stages of development and the air temperature in the garden in spring:

• Until the kidneys swell.
• Budding.
• Bloom.
• Green cone - the beginning of the appearance of leaves.
• Young ovaries.

Such a thing as - spring spraying, is very conditional, since there is no clear boundary between summer and spring. But still, you can define two important milestones: carrying out the treatment of plants before the buds swell on them and the period after this event (when buds appear and leaves protrude).

When, how and what to spray the garden from diseases and pests

The earliest term is the dormant kidney phase. The very first spraying should be done in early spring when low temperatures in the garden (+3, +6 degrees, or slightly higher). But this must be done before the buds swell, while still on dormant plants. Almost everywhere there is a different rate of snow melting and the height of its cover. Yes, besides, cultures wake up after winter in different time... Based on this, sometimes it is not possible to meet one specific day. Quite early, honeysuckle and black currant begin to wake up from winter sleep. but as for strawberries, covered grapes and roses, these crops can long time be under the snow cover.

Plant exclusions.

Which ones exactly garden plants you do not need to spray during this period of time.

• Honeysuckle very rarely gets sick and practically does not suffer from pests.
• The same goes for blackberries.
• In the event that modern black currant varieties are planted on your garden plot, which are not susceptible to kidney mites and powdery mildew, then there is no point in spraying in early spring.
• It is also not necessary to spray with fungicides those varieties of gooseberries that tolerate spheroteka.
• On many household plots sea ​​buckthorn is also not susceptible to diseases.
• If your pears do not appear in the garden every year serious problems, then they also do not need to be processed.
• If your garden has had good and prosperous years before, then you will not need protection from diseases for those apple varieties that have resistance to moniliosis and immunity to scab.

Many perennial flowers and ornamental shrubs an individual approach is required.

One of the most important points is the definition of a number of problem-free plants that do not require additional care: for a person - saving his personal time, money and effort. And most importantly, the benefit environment... The chemical treatment of the garden must be carried out at a real risk.

Spray coverage area

In this article, you can also find out about when to spray the garden from pests in the spring. Until the buds swell, fruit trees and berry plants (gooseberries, plums, strawberries, raspberries, cherries, cherry plums, sweet cherries, apricots, peaches and grapes), flower beds and a rose garden need processing. In this period of time, this impact will mainly be aimed at protecting against various diseases, and partly on pests, which are still sleeping at this time.

What to Treat: Best Spraying Techniques

Hot water.

After bringing a bucket of water to a boil, you must immediately pour it into a watering can and water the bushes of blackberries and currants of any color. This procedure can partially eliminate some types of wintering diseases and pests. Water, with a temperature of +65 degrees, must be poured from a watering can on strawberry bushes.

"Blue Spray": Bordeaux liquid.

This event is very old. It was invented almost two centuries ago. But to this day, it is the most effective and useful. It is directed against almost all bacterial and fungal infections on the soil surface and on all crops. This procedure is carried out using a strong Bordeaux liquid (at a concentration of about 3% (but not one percent, as in green foliage). In the instructions for this drug, you can find a discrepancy in the ratio of copper sulfate and lime in solution. This is due to the fact that the original recipe used quicklime... And currently they use slaked (or calcium hydroxide). And the latter requires much more. After you have purchased Bordeaux mixture, it is better to follow the enclosed instructions clearly. In the event that this instruction says about the preparation of a one percent solution. As for the three percent, in this case it is necessary to reduce the amount of water by three times. If you purchase the necessary ingredients yourself, you should take 100 grams for 3 liters of water. quicklime and copper sulfate. An alternative to this drug is burgundy liquid. The solution must be prepared in the same way as the Bordeaux liquid, only baking soda (baking soda or soda ash) must be used for the place of lime. In rare cases, add a spoonful of sugar or soap. In addition, there is an option where the soda is replaced ammonia or mustard powder. Next, you need to give the resulting mixture a little browning. After that, processing should be carried out immediately.

The drug is 30+.

The official manufacturer is NPF Sober. This medication is Vaseline oil, which was previously used to fight the scale insect in early spring in the Krasnodar Territory. As a result, it turned out that this remedy does not pose any danger to humans, but it disrupts the respiration of insects that hibernate on the branches of trees and shrubs. After spraying in the spring, scale insects and other insects and their larvae that winter in the crowns die. One liter of this drug must be diluted in 2 buckets of water and then sprinkle the garden with the resulting solution, spending about one liter per bush and up to 5 liters per one a big tree... This product is very dangerous for bees.

More options for spring spraying

Not sure at what temperature you can spray your garden in spring? Then it is worth saying that they do it in early autumn. In the spring, a strong solution of urea is also used (600 grams per bucket). Sometimes copper sulfate (50g) is added. Iron sulfate is also used for spraying. It is often used to combat moss and lichen, and also against diseases on roses, grapes, and fruit trees. One kg of ferrous sulfate must be dissolved in 20 liters of water.

The two products described above are very scorching. And many gardeners advise using them not in early spring, but in late autumn. In addition, treatment with these drugs in the spring can delay budding in the garden for a week or two.

On a note! Many agronomists do not recommend using folk remedies such as diesel fuel, salt or kerosene. Special attention must be given to Nitrofen. This agent has long been recognized as a dangerous carcinogen. It was banned for use in most countries of the world, including our country.

Spraying at the stage of bud opening and bud extension

In order to find out how to spray the garden in the spring before bud break, you must carefully read this article. Here you can see a lot of interesting things for yourself. Now it is worth informing about those spraying rules that apply at the stage of budding and bud formation. During this period of time, many harmful organisms, both small and large, gradually wake up from hibernation. If the spring is rainy and cool, then this will contribute to the development of various diseases. And if the weather is sunny and warm, then insects begin to appear.

Spraying against diseases (fungicides)

Copper preparations.

For a complete treatment it is not too late to use Bordeaux mixture - only at a concentration of 1%. Grapes, flowers, apples and pears, plums, cherries in early spring must be processed with HOM or Abiga-Peak.

Biologicals.

In the spring, many gardeners are engaged in carrying out the first two treatments, using drugs such as Alirin (fruit trees, strawberries), phytosporin (they process everything), Fitolavin (apple trees). This group also includes such a tool as Strobi. The drug is a fungicide natural origin... applied on pear and apple at the beginning of its growing season.

Drug Prognosis (and other drugs with propiconazole).

Products of the same composition: Agrolekar, Forecast, Propy Plus, Chistoflor. These drugs are modern fungicides that are not very toxic. They process berries in the budding phase: raspberries, strawberries (from gray rot), gooseberries, currants.

Pure flower (and other drugs with difenoconazole).

Similar contents are presented by drugs such as Raek, Purest flower, Guardian, Skor, Discor, Planthenol. They are used on stone and pome crops, as well as on roses and other flowers.

Topaz (penconazole).

In spring, Topaz is a prophylaxis of powdery mildew on flowers, gooseberries and currants.

Tiovit Jet.

This preparation protects currants, roses and apple trees from powdery mildew.

Horus.

It is used for processing grapes and all stone and pome crops. Not very dangerous for birds, bees and people.

Spraying against pests (insecticides)

In this phase, biological insecticides are practically useless: since during this period there are no caterpillars, no aphids, or spider mites. It makes sense to use the poison only if a large number of pests were observed in the past year (raspberry beetle, weevil, sea buckthorn fly, leaf rollers, moths, etc.). it is impossible to spray at the time of flowering.

Pyrethroid poisons.

These are Spark Double Effect, Inta-Vir, Decis, Kinmiks.

Organophosphorus poison (malathion).

This is Iskra M, Fufanon, Karbofos.

Double poisons.

This is Inta-TsM, Alatar,

Copper preparations are advised to be used separately. And the rest of the fungicides can be mixed with pesticides.

Finally

Today, thanks to this article, you were able to learn about how to spray trees in the garden in spring. We hope that these activities can protect your garden from different kinds pests and diseases. As a result of these activities, your garden will be able to bring you a rich harvest of delicious fruits.

Quality development and fruiting of the garden is ensured proper care... Mandatory event is treatment of trees from pests and diseases... In this article, we will consider when, how and with what it is desirable to treat the plants, the spraying technique, and also give a schedule of activities for the care of the garden.

If you are unable to provide quality care for your plantings, we suggest using the services of professional gardeners. We are happy to look after your landing! :)

Spring

As soon as the snow melts and vegetation begins to awaken, gardeners begin to prepare their plants for the hot days. The first step is to protect them from scorching sun... Processing of trees in March begins with the removal of insulation and whitewashing of boles. The procedure takes place in three stages:

• Cleaning old bark with a scraper (large layers of dead bark are removed) and metal brush(cleared thin layer"old skin").
• Treatment of wounds- processing of trees with garden pitch.
• Whitewashing with a special solution(you can find the recipes on our website).

When coloring the stems, make sure that the whitening evenly covers the entire area of ​​"staining". Whitewashing not only protects plants from sunburn but also serves additional protection from pests: while cleaning the bark, you will destroy the wintering places of insects, and the whitening composition will burn out the eggs and pupae of the pests.

One of essential procedures early spring is treatment of trees from scab and other diseases. Even before bud break, the plantings are sprayed with fungicides to destroy the microorganisms that cause the disease. As a rule, plants are treated with Bordeaux liquid - this is one of the most popular fungicides. wide range actions.

During flowering, the garden is once again treated with fungicides and also sprayed with insecticides. During the period of emergence and blooming of buds, ticks and weevils wake up, which it is desirable to exterminate as early as possible. Otherwise, mites will spread throughout the garden and harm the bark, and weevils will damage a large number of ovaries (significantly reducing the quantity and quality of the crop).

Processing trees after flowering has a "fixing" effect: immunity against diseases is developed, the remnants of surviving insects are killed. :)

We remind you that all gardening procedures can be performed by experienced gardeners. We offer following services: planting, feeding (root and foliar), spraying, grafting - everything to ensure the ideal conditions for your garden to flourish! :)

Summer

On summer days, if necessary, trees are treated against pests that have settled in the garden. If you notice harmful insects on your site, be sure to spray against this species. Please note that you need to process not only the infected tree, but also the plants adjacent to it. Otherwise, you will not get rid of insects, they will simply move to unprotected plantings.

Periodically inspect the garden for diseases during the summer. If you find symptoms of the disease, spray against them.

Plants gradually "suck" microelements from the soil, sooner or later the resources of one or another element run out. Symptoms of starvation manifest themselves in different ways (the color of the leaves changes, the growth of shoots worsens). In this case, it is necessary to feed the plants by the foliar method with a composition with an increased content of the deficient element. For example, the processing of peach trees can be carried out with iron vitriol to feed plants with iron (an element that plays an important role in oxidative processes).

You can find information on the symptoms of micronutrient starvation in the Fertilizing and Fertilizing Garden section.

Autumn

In the autumn season there is a compulsory preventive treatment of fruit trees against various putrefactive diseases, scab and spots. Many novice gardeners find this procedure useless as the plants are getting ready for bed. They are sure that the fight against microorganisms should be carried out in the spring. This is a misconception.

Warm weather and high humidity create ideal conditions for the development of bacteria. Microorganisms multiply at a high rate, affecting huge areas of each plant. As a result, in the spring, the infected garden wakes up for a long time, there is poor growth, the growing processes slow down. Warn against a similar situation the processing of fruit trees in the fall helps.

Spray garden planting special fungicides will help our experienced gardeners... We will do all the work quickly, efficiently and inexpensively! :)

Spraying products

There are many garden spraying products available: you can purchase specialty mixes from gardening stores or make your own. Consider the most popular preparations for processing fruit trees, their purpose and features of use.

• Pest and disease control begins in early spring and ends in autumn. Alas, not all drugs are suitable for use in all seasons. So, treatment of trees with urea cannot be held in late autumn. Urea is a broad-spectrum drug, it copes well with many diseases and burns out insects. However, this nitrogen-containing substance, respectively, the urea saturates the plants with nitrogen. As a result of "feeding" the vegetation processes in the tree are activated. If you use urea at the end of autumn, the plantings will not have time to prepare for bed in time, as a result they will get frostbite.
• Will be effective at the end of autumn treatment of trees with copper sulfate. The fungicide is excellent for combating scab, spotting, powdery mildew and putrefactive diseases. It can be used at any time of the year. Sometimes slaked lime is introduced into it in a ratio of 50:50, as a result of mixing we get the so-called Bordeaux mixture- an excellent agent against insects and diseases.
• Treatment of trees with iron vitriol carried out for the same purposes as copper, but has its own characteristics. Plants are saturated with iron through the foliage. This is a very important trace element in the life of the Yablonev tribe. Iron is involved in many oxidative processes in trees. Apples, plums, cherries, and peaches are periodically treated with iron vitriol. In fact, this is spraying and feeding - 2 in 1. :)
• In early spring it is often used processing of trees by Horus- fungicide that destroys powdery mildew, scab and moniliosis (the most common garden diseases). The drug is absorbed through the leaves, providing protection against pathogens for a long time. Allows alternation of spraying with other preparations; plantings can be treated with Horus up to 4 times a year.
• In specialized stores you can buy combined products for processing fruit trees Are unique formulations that include not only fungicides, but also insecticides. Thus, during spraying, there is a fight not only against microorganisms, but also against insect pests.

Our professionals, who have a huge store of knowledge and many years of experience in gardening, will help you choose a preparation for your planting, as well as process the plants on the site. We will take care of your plants with high quality at an affordable cost! :)

Methodology

The tree processing algorithms are as follows:

1. Diluted product is being tested: after preparing the composition for spraying, it must be applied to one branch of any plant and wait 1-2 days. If during this time the substance has not done any harm (burnt foliage, chemical burns of the bark), it can be applied throughout the garden. Frequent causes of injury: the drug is not diluted correctly, the product is expired (the expiration date has expired), the wrong composition (an error was made in chemical formula in production).
2. Treatment of trees with a solution. Spraying is carried out using a special apparatus (pump). It is advisable to periodically chat the mixture in the sprayer tank to avoid delamination of the composition. When processing plants, be sure to wear protective equipment: rubber gloves, respirator, goggles.
3. After spraying, be sure to wash your hands with plain soap and rinse your mouth. Rinse out all removable parts of the sprayer.

Chart: how, when and what

The processing time for fruit trees depends on the stage of plant development. The purpose of spraying depends on the timing. So, in early spring, plants are treated to destroy microorganisms - causative agents of fungal and putrefactive diseases. In mid-April, the plantings are treated with drugs that kill the emerging generation of pests, a little later, spraying against ticks is carried out. At the end of spring, treatment is carried out in order to increase immunity to various diseases.

V summer time the garden is sprayed if necessary: ​​the occurrence of symptoms of certain diseases, the attack of insects. In the fall, preventive treatments are carried out.

The funds are selected in accordance with the task at hand: the destruction of pests, the fight against microorganisms or prevention against diseases and the development of immunity.

For your convenience, we will provide a schedule for the processing of fruit trees and enter into it the goals pursued and the means used. All data are listed in the table below.

Remember: it is not necessary to work in the garden, all problems can be shifted onto the shoulders of professionals. We will provide quality care for every tree!

It is at this time that work can be done to preserve the harvest and increase it. How to treat trees and shrubs in early spring? Every gardener asks himself this question. Everyone wants their work not to be in vain, but to become a reward good harvest fruits and berries. Therefore, a number of measures should be carried out, the purpose of which is to protect the garden plantings.

The benefits of spraying

If you do not spray trees and shrubs, then soon the garden will be affected by diseases and pests. This reduces yields, slows down the appearance of fruits and berries. Before treating trees and shrubs in early spring, you need to decide on the methods of this event. Spraying is carried out several times per season. It helps to get rid of caterpillars, aphids, flower beetles, silkworms, powdery mildew, scab and other diseases and pests. Handle everything and

Spraying time

Orchard plantings are usually cultivated three times during the spring and summer. The solution lasts about two weeks. This should be the minimum break between spraying. Processing should be stopped 2-3 weeks before harvesting. It is generally not advisable to use chemicals after the ovary has appeared. Therefore, before treating trees and shrubs in early spring from diseases and pests, carefully read the instructions for the preparation. Shrubs are sprayed much less frequently. When berries appear on them, the processing can be stopped altogether. For this procedure, it is better to choose dry and calm weather.

Spraying stages

The first stage of processing occurs in the earliest spring. At this time, pests that have successfully transferred cold period... This is followed by the time of the second treatment. It is carried out after the appearance of the leaves. Thus, gardeners get rid of the awakening insects. At the same time, prevention of various diseases that affect garden plantings is carried out. The third time the plants are sprayed after flowering. At this point, you can neutralize the spider mite and moth.

Preparatory work

Before treating trees and shrubs in early spring, it is necessary to carry out some preparatory work... First, you need to bypass your property and remove old fruits and existing pest nests. Old tree branches should be cut off. They are the ones good place for wintering and breeding of pests and diseases. We carry the branches outside the garden and burn them. For shrubs use hot shower... To do this, the water is heated to 70 degrees and poured onto the plants. This method helps to get rid of many pests and their larvae that hibernate on shrubs. It is necessary to carry out this procedure before the start of the movement of the juices, so as not to harm the plants. How to treat trees and shrubs in early spring without chemicals? Many experienced gardeners advise to spray garden plantings with a solution.This is about 150 grams of salt per 10 liters of water. Dig in trees and shrubs a few days before the first spraying. We also cut off unnecessary shoots and branches.

First processing period

How to treat trees and shrubs in early spring from pests? The first treatment is carried out in order to prevent the formation of scab. Even before the buds swell, trees are treated with the preparations Fundazol or Skvor. There are many other products with a similar composition. Before the procedure, the crown is thinned out and the trunk is covered with a layer of lime. When the buds begin to swell, another treatment is carried out, which disinfects the tree from the gall mite. For this, you can use the drug "Neoron". Among the more safe means urea solution can be isolated. 500 grams of the product is dissolved in 10 liters of water. This solution also has a beneficial effect on the quality of the soil, spreading throughout the season.

We continue early processing

Before treating trees and shrubs in early spring, you should carefully inspect them for a hazard. Many drugs have a specific effect on a specific pest or disease.
