Bark fruit trees In the winter season, it becomes a lackless piece for rodents. Attacks of hares or mice can jeopardize the viability of the plant. That is why, each dacha need to know how to protect the apple tree from the Zaitsev in winter and what shelters should be done for this.
The bark performs one of the most important functions for the plant, namely - the transportation of water and nutrients From the roots to the top of the trunk. If the integrity of such a layer is broken, the tree begins to experience a shortage of nutrition. In addition, there is no protection against malicious bacteria and fungus, which can freely penetrate the plant on the barrel.
All these items show that without durable protective bark, trees simply will not survive. Rodents often eat a bark around the perimeter, which means that the connection with the root system is broken completely. In this case, the tree is quite difficult to save, in some cases it is impossible. It is also dangerous that usually pests prefer to cut out young seedlings, because they are softer and juicy. After such a "processing", the planted sprout would certainly die, so the inalienable procedure for winter training is both the protection of the tree trunk from the encroachment of mice and hares.
It is especially important to protect the seedling of an apple tree, because this tree is most attractive for rodents. Bone cultures: plum, cherry, apricot, noticeably give up mustard, so they will not be so desirable for mice and hares. Most often, young apple trees are subjected to pest attacks, so their protection will be the primary task of the gardener.
How to protect the apple tree from mice and hares for the winter
Methods for protecting an apple tree from mice are distinguished by a variety. This contributes technical progress, as well as the natural seaming of gardeners, which are used for these purposes the most common different methods and their combinations. There is no ideal recipe, so you should try several somewhat. In any case, the activities to ensure the preservation of the trunk are much less labor-intensive, rather than to save the young seedling. To protect apple trees for the winter, gardeners use various methods. Select the optimal apple tree protection method will help the information provided.
Mechanical methods
Verified I. reliable method - Protect the trunk of appleasters with a grid or polyethylene. This uses a metal or caprochy fine grid. It must be inserted into the rolling circle, as well as wrap a grid of metal wire trunk to a height of at least 80-100 centimeters. It is so much that the zone of the lesions of the trees is large rodents. So that the mice could not get to the roots of the plants through the snowy moves, the emboss around the tree is periodically tumped by legs.
Instead of a mesh, you can use runneroid, dense film or trimming plastic bottles. The shelter is tightly fixed on top and bottom with a scotch or wire. It is best to use materials that skip light and moisture, otherwise the tree can overheat and wake up. That is why such shelters are removed with the onset of warming, and this weakens protection against rodents, which at the end of winter-early spring are especially actively looking for any suitable food.
To protect the young strab wrap with tight paper and put additional fencing from the grid. Such protection is equally well "working" and from frost, and from possible pests.
The use of a special covering material - Loutrasil to protect the trunks and branches of young seedlings is considered in the applied video. This will help protect the tree from the cold, and will also create a suitable protection against rodents.
Scouting methods
Knowing features and types of pests that can harm trees, you can use more simple ways. To protect against the Zaitsev, it is worth playing the aims of this animal. The role of "Pugala" perfectly perform plastic bags different colorsaffected by the lower branches of the tree. You can build sound traps using cans And other devices. The main thing is that the sound does not interfere with the neighbors and you for a quiet pastime. For more effective protection It is worth combining such methods together with other ways to ensure that it is guaranteed to get rid even from the most bold hare.
More efficient will be scared by the smell. Animals are extremely sensitive to various sorts of strong smells, and some are categorically not tolerated even at a distance. Cell and self-made mixtures are suitable as suitable mixtures for aromatherapy.
Overlapping options:
- Natural odorous spices. To do this, mint, coriander, elderberry and forest rods are used. Any of these plants can be simply tied to the trunk, as well as prepare a concentrated solution for spraying the crust and the roasting area. Such processing is desirable to repeat several times per season, especially after severe precipitation.
- A thick mixture of clay and cow's manure will also be excellent protection for the trunk. To do this, it is bred to the condition of cement and the rolling circle is well treated. After the frozen, it forms a layer, unappletent from the point of view of rodents.
- Speakers impregnated with kerosene or turpentine will also perform the function of the repeller. To do this, they must be updated periodically.
- Spraying with copper vigorous or burgundy mixture will also allow pests to scare. It is also I. good prevention Characteristic diseases, as well as the elimination of pest larvae. To effectively protect the spraying before the onset of frosts. Fluid consumption is quite significant: for young seedlings from 2-3 liters, for big trees - up to 10 liters per plant.
- You can sprinkle bags with naphthalene or plastic bottles with cutting holes. They can also put this substance, as well as the use of kerosene or turpentine.
Such methods are simple and effective. In addition, they are quite humane, because animals simply do not approach such a zone. In addition, the mice do not like smells of fish fat, salla and blood, and strong essential oils are also suitable.
Use of Yadohimikatov
The use of poisoning substances is not always desirable, but in some cases it is simply necessary. If a we are talking About the grimaceous apple tree, whose shoots are covered with a nonwoven cloth to the ground, the colony of mice under her can take a plant completely for the winter season. That is why, to protect the apple tree from rodents in winter, purchasing and independently cooked poisons can be used.
What mixtures apply:
- Purchased reflection by the type "Rat death", "Ratobor" and "Storm". Used according to the manufacturer's instructions. It is recommended to limit pet access, as well as locating with poison in an inaccessible place for children.
- A mixture of plaster and flour to which a little added to attract pests vegetable oil. Prepare such balls immediately before use, lay out near the holes and about the trunks of trees.
- In two parts of the flour take six parts of the negro lime and one part of the sugar. Rock the resulting mixture into small balls and also decompose on the places of accumulation of rodents.
Working with poisons must be performed using protective equipment. Do not use kerifiers, if the bait can eat living nearby pets. In addition, it should be considered possible toxic action On the soil, therefore, the poisons are the least preferred way of combating rodents. They are used only with a lot of swallowed colonies of mice and in an incomplete area.
Restoration of the crust on the trees
If you save an apple tree from rodents in winter it did not work out, you should not despair. Small damage is easy to cure on their own, which will not affect the quality and volume of the crop.
What will you need:
- Damaged trunks are smeared sadovy Vary. or paint.
- Brew a lime boron and make a "compress" from dense paper on the damaged part of the trunk.
- You can use birch dead.
- In severe damage, vaccinations are made by the bridge. This will preserve the life support of the plant.
If the village did not succeed, the best option It will cut the trunk slightly above the last kidney. Next year, a strong side escape will go out of it, which will give further development. Of course, it will be easier and cheaper to organize suitable apple trees from rodents than tolerates such losses from their invasion in the garden.
Young apple trees must be ensured reliable protection Cores from pest rodents. They eat the trunk and deprive it of natural protection and nutrition, and this entails diseases and even the death of the plant. Especially suffer from the attacks of mice and hares, young seedlings, so they are necessary to protect against the unreasonable visitors. How to do it most proven and available methods Considered in our information.
Russian harsh winters often force gardeners to apply all new methods of rescue trees from strong frosts. And no less danger to apple trees. Cherry trees represent small rodents, such as mice. One way is to plant a cherries at an angle of 45 degrees, which allows you to form a crown in a semi-slim form. In addition, it is better to plant them on the top or middle part of the slope south border Garden, where in winter, as a rule, more snow.
Autumn works in the garden must be completed from the trees around the trees of the projection of the crown, the depth of the grooves is about10sm. In this groove on equal distance Flat pegs from each other with a height of 1 meter, pegs should be located at a distance of 70-80 cm apart. According to these pegs, the snake is pulled only and fixed with small cloves. The edge, which is located in the groove, falls asleep the earth. After the snow drops, it throws into the circle inside, it will help to save the root system from frosts, and only will not give the roots of mice.
This device does not allow melt water to spread throughout the garden, it remains inside the circle and absorbs into the rustic territory. In the spring, when the night frosts are not uncommon, during flowering the crown of trees can be covered with a polyethylene film.
Mice and hares - the threat of the garden in winter. Take action.
Spring comes, we get to their garden plot And with alarming, we begin to inspect your overwhelming trees. What disappearing covers us if we see the favorite trees of the unloaded. All this makes mice and hares. If the mice brighten the bark, the hares eat young twigs. How to protect our garden from destroying?
It is already necessary to start the struggle for the trees, when the hungry mice are thrown on any food. It's time to decompose the poisoned bait. They are on sale a wide variety. The bait need to decompose in places inaccessible to birds, cover with boards, bricks. It should be borne in mind that the crow is a strong bird and can raise a lot of cargo. Warning! If you get a cat to the cottage, or other people's cats will come to you, it is impossible to fight with mice with a poisoned bait. After caught the poisoned mouse, and the mouse dies from the bait not immediately, the cat will also die. In this case, it is possible to fight mice with mousetrap, which is less efficient.
But the basic work on the protection of apple trees, honeysuckle, cherries and other fruit-berries from rodents begins late in the fall. The trunk and skeletal branches must be protected. To do this, categorized pantyhose, tol, rubberoid. Plastic bottles are suitable. They are cut off the neck and the bottom, it is cut along. Bottles are superimposed by a tier on each other and firmly bind. In the barrel locations on the skeletal branches in the bottles, the required cut is made.
Stack of wood, too, protect: deeper only, or a plastic bottle into the ground and cheerfully cheer. It is possible to use a husknik to cover the trunks, tieting it to the barrel of a jew. It is necessary to close the tree thoroughly, the mice can damage the bark not only the one that will be under the snow, but also higher. Many young landings are completely wrapped in tights completely!
The easiest way to scare in winter hares is to bind to the branches of trees black plastic bags Behind the handles. A black color on the white snow is far from being visible, but in the cold, even with a small breeze, they will wave and rustle, scattering the hares. In winter, it is advisable to periodically pull the snow around the trees. So mice it becomes difficult to move under the snow. In early springAs soon as the snow becomes, you need to remove everything that protected your trees. Otherwise, the trunk will begin to overheat, and the kidneys, if the village was wrapped completely, to bloom prematurely.
Agree, quite disappointing the whole spring to run around the markets and garden shops, looking for in an endless sea of \u200b\u200bcurves, deformed seedlings pretty apple tree, suitable for you. Then to plant her, water, feed and spray, collect the in the summer of malicious caterpillars and tool ... and all only then to make sure that the apple tree set up with such love appreciated not only you and your friends, but also hares from the nearest forest.
What trees of the hare are gnawing, and what - do not touch?
These irrepressed rodents in the hungry year are able to completely destroy the young planting apple trees and other fruit trees. The main object of the lust of each decent hare is apple tree and apricot. The following, in appeal, can be considered cherry, plum, cherry. Can try tooth and decorative trees and shrubs. And the pear touches very rarely, almost never.
But besides the hares, which brighten up the kidneys and bark, harm the apple trees (and other trees) and mice. At the same time, the mouse can make a sick at the ground level of the bark along the ring, which leads to the nonminic death of the tree.
Such methods are helped by hares and mice:
1. Complete the stem of the grid, better metallic, with a shallow cell. It is better that the cell size was around 1-2 centimeters, then besides the hares, we will protect and from mice. Failure of the method - the grid is not cheap. The finelystic mesh is quite uncomfortable and long cut without special scissors. BUT plastic grid Mice can bother. Hares, with great desire, can also, but it is already unlikely.
2. Cut the stamps of apple trees by kapron pantyhose, stockings, etc. Pretty good I. reliable way. Glancing the bumps to the hares are not to taste, mice too. Capron just fasten with sticky tape. Under the bone shelter, the tree trunk will not redeem and does not spare.
3. Cut the barrel rubberoid. This method from the Zaitsev will protect, but the conditions under the referenced are not the most favorable. The bark can be damed, the runner can be very hot in the sun, which is fraught with frosts.
4. Apply stinking-odorous mixtures to scare. I myself did not try, I will not lie, but this recipe reader. Take naphthalene 300 grams, the soap is economic - 3 kg, vegetable oil - 2 liters, and a floor-liter turpentine. All this hellish mixture is dissolved, or more correctly, knead, in 10 liters of water and then deceive that Stranches of trees.
5. The hares are known for their hugeness, therefore use the method of batching of the hares by hanging the sheets of black paper on threads. Such paper in the wind moves and the hares are shought to the heart attack. (Sometimes in the spring can be found under the apple tree a whole wheelbarrow of the hill dresses of the hares?) ...
Well, jokes jokes, and the method actually helps, but only from the hares. From mice - it does not work, the mice run under the snow, and bark the bore is also lower than the level of snow, so that suspended papers are simply not seen.
6. The method is only from mice. You can combine with a way 5, which is only from the hares. If you live in the winter next to your landings, then as snow is dropped out, it is necessary to thoroughly pull the snow around the trunk, so that the mice cannot easily proceed the mink. Also under the apple tree lay out odorous scares that do not like mice strongly. This is Chernelin, coriander, elder, mint.
In addition to rodents, the winter apple trees have more problems. This, oddly enough, frost and sun, the day is wonderful ... It is in such a wonderful little-free day, especially in the second half of winter, when the sun is already noticeably warming, dark trunks of an apple tree can warmly warm. In the evening, when the sun comes, and frosts are cracked, such apple trees are damaged by the trunks from sharp drop Temperatures - frostsobyins. In such places, the bark cracks, lags behind. In severe cases, the tree dies.
Protecting from Morozoboin trees will help garden whitewashes. Old trees can be blued by any finished whitewash, the benefit of them in stores are sold in excess. But with young apple trees it is necessary to be careful, some compositions can be toxic for a young bark. On the one hand, for whitames are good water-emulsion paintsBut again they should not be potentially harmful components. In which paints there are no them, in what - is there? I do not know, and I doubt that someone will definitely answer this question.
Because I will smash the apple trees with usual, or hawed lime. Well, maybe I will try on some, not the most valuable, the composition is from the store? .
In addition to apple trees, in middle lane And north, in a mandatory whitewash the trees of cherry need. They are more often another trees in our gardens suffer from frosty damage to the bark of the strain.
Now a few words about the shelter of the roots. Root zonewhich is equal to about the diameter of the crown of the tree, it is desirable to inspire. At the same time, the frozen varieties of apple trees. To cover the roots, it is not desirable to apply grass, hay, sheet opead. The fact is that such material quickly begins to hide with heat release, which contributes to the early waking of roots. It is better to use peat or sawdust. Although these measures should be taken in case of the onset of frosts did not fall enough snow ... But we do not know - snow falls to frost or after.
Thus, defending the apple tree from rodents, from the Sun and from Frost, we can be almost confident that in the spring tree will delight us with a white floral cloud, and in the fall - with red ruddy apples?
