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 the pests in the summer cottage to be as small 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 when the snow melts, you can start the spring inspection fruit trees and shrubs, for the purpose of their further processing. First of all, it is necessary to cut off excess diseased branches and twigs, to clear 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, products for whitewashing trees and shrubs, containing copper sulfate and PVA glue, have appeared on the market. 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 copper sulfate (take 100 grams per bucket of water). This will help to avoid fungal diseases, the formation of mosses and lichens, black cancer, scab. Bordeaux fluid 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 ferrous sulfate (200 grams 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. Divorced 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 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
To make the garden meet your expectations, please the eye and soul good harvest, it is necessary to provide him with proper, professional care. Landscaping workshop Le Nôtre Park will be happy to take care of the processing and spraying of fruit trees and shrubs. For this we have experienced specialists, special equipment. It is easy to order garden processing in Moscow and the Moscow region - just one call to the phone number indicated in the right column.
The cost of work:
Spring processing of fruit trees - a series of measures aimed at preventing and treating diseases of trees and shrubs, to prevent the invasion of insect pests or to destroy them. The qualitative and quantitative indicators of the future harvest depend on how timely, promptly, organized and competently the work is carried out.
Spring processing of trees is carried out in several stages:
- Before the start of the growing season
- On the green cone when the buds hatch
- During flowering
- After flowering.
Spraying is also carried out outside this schedule, as needed.
But at the same time, one must be aware that spring spraying of fruit trees is not a strictly regulated event in the sense that no one will say in advance exactly when and with what preparations to treat the garden, because each tree is unique in its characteristics and condition, respectively, requires individual approach... When planning the processing of fruit trees for the spring, it is necessary to build on, first of all, from the degree of infection of the garden with certain insects and diseases. The “just in case” principle does not apply to trees. Excessive use of chemicals can adversely affect the well-being of plants, moreover, it is undesirable for humans and environment generally.
Landscape workshop LE-PARK provides services for complex spring processing of trees and shrubs in Moscow and the Moscow region. Our specialists carry out competent planning of events, correct selection preparations, timely and high-quality spraying. You can order both complex garden care and seasonal garden treatment.
First treatment before kidney awakening
In early March, when the snow has just melted, and the daytime temperature is stable within + 5 ° C, you can start preventive or health-improving measures.
Pruning and cleaning trees and shrubs
Processing the garden in early spring begins with pruning trees and shrubs. It is necessary to remove tops, dead and frozen branches, to clear the thickened crown. At the same time, it is necessary to treat the areas of the bark damaged by rodents. The sites of damage are cleaned to a living woody tissue, they must be treated first with copper sulfate (1% solution), then with a runnet (in the same way, the cutting points of branches are processed during pruning, copper sulfate is not required).
After that, it is necessary to carefully, without damaging the bark, clean the trunks and branches from the exfoliated and cracked dead bark, from fungal deposits, lichens. The removed dead bark cannot be left under the tree. It is advisable to pre-lay a cellophane film or other bedding around the trunk and under the crown. Collect and incinerate the garbage after completion of the work. If there are stumps in the garden that are a constant source of fungal diseases, they must be uprooted.
It is imperative to process the hollows, if any. Clean them, disinfect, lubricate and leave to dry, covering from rain and dirt.
Barrel processing
Further, in the spring processing of trees, the whitewashing of trunks and tree branches follows. The task of this event is to prevent the development of the remaining larvae deposited by pests in the fall, to scare off adult insect pests, which will soon wake up and kill fungal spores.
Modern products (ready-to-use), which can be purchased in specialized stores, are effective for these purposes. They are of several types: aerosol, water-dispersion, acrylic. They usually contain fungicides. It is desirable that the mixture is breathable, which is especially important for young trees.
You can prepare a solution for whitewashing trees yourself. To do this, dilute 2 kilograms of slaked lime in a bucket of water, add 1 kg of clay and 250 g of copper sulfate. Some add laundry soap, glue. Mix everything well. With this mixture, whitewash the trunks and the lower parts of the trunk branches of trees.
It is also necessary to prepare near-barrel platforms for processing. If a autumn works were not carried out, this must be given the utmost attention. Last year's foliage, mummified fruits, remove and burn.
The first spraying of trees and shrubs in early spring
The very first spring spraying of trees is mandatory. Spraying is carried out before the awakening of the buds, and it is directed, first of all, against fungal diseases - scab, coccomycosis, leaf spot, against mosses and lichens, etc., as well as against aphids, ticks, apple moth caterpillars, copperheads, etc.
How to spray trees in early spring? There are many drugs on sale now. The problem is that they are often narrowly targeted. Therefore, pay attention to the description when buying. Better to use drugs wide range actions. It is clear that it is difficult for a person who is far from gardening, and sometimes even impossible, to quickly understand the intricacies of this matter. The right decision will seek help from professionals who know exactly what, when, how much and how.
But, if this is not possible, for one reason or another, then we advise you to use proven and reliable means. These are copper sulfate, Bordeaux liquid, urea, iron sulfate. Pay attention to the mixtures of carbamide with copper sulfate. They are good because, in addition to their direct function of plant protection, they play the role nitrogen fertilization and delay the growing season for a week and a half. Both additional factors are helpful. Nitrogen fertilization is quite appropriate at the start, and late flowering reduces the risk of falling into spring frosts.
It is necessary to spray trees abundantly, starting from the surface of the crown and gradually moving inward, towards the trunk in the direction from top to bottom. The near-stem areas must also be carefully treated with a solution, after which the area of \u200b\u200bthe near-stem circles should be covered with a black film (the film is removed after the end of flowering). This is done in order to reduce the likelihood of the larvae of harmful insects leaving the soil.
After spraying, trapping belts can be put on the trees. And although the insects have not yet awakened, very soon their hordes will rush into the trees.
As for the shrubs - currants and gooseberries, they are processed immediately after the snow melts. On the gooseberry, it is necessary to cut out branches damaged by American powdery mildew; on the currants, cut out branches with unnaturally swollen buds, in which the female currant bud mites have settled (remove the cut branches outside the garden and burn). Shrubs are sprayed with solutions of ferrous sulfate or nitraphene.
Second spring treatment on a green cone
By the time the buds hatch, the life of flora and fauna will resume completely after winter and it will become a little clearer what troubles threaten the garden. In addition, an attentive gardener can already, in some approximation, predict outbreaks of diseases and the activity of certain types of pests (taking into account current and last year's observations).
The selection of drugs for treating trees and shrubs at this spring time is not an easy task. Every year, dozens of new products are released, to which the pests adapt throughout the year. No matter how good this or that drug is, it is not able to solve all problems in a comprehensive manner, in one go. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully and accurately diagnose diseases, determine the type of pests and select the appropriate means of protecting and treating trees.
If you live in Moscow or the Moscow region, qualified gardeners of the Lenotre Park landscape workshop are at your service. You can get professional advice at any time or use the services of specialists for spring spraying fruit trees and shrubs.
Preparations, depending on the condition of the trees, can be used chemical or biological.
Chemicals are quite radical agents with some undesirable side effects on the environment.
Biological products are harmless to the environment, animals, pollinating insects and humans. Their production is based on the use of live microorganisms (bacteria, bacterial viruses, antagonist fungi). They are not so aggressive towards pests and to achieve a result, they are sprayed more often.
Chemicals:
- Bordeaux liquid - broad spectrum fungicide
- Fufanon - a broad-spectrum insecticide against ticks, weevils, leafworms, scale insects, raspberry beetles, aphids, thrips, moths, moths, etc.
- Decis - insecticide of contact-intestinal action against Homoptera, Lepidoptera, Coleoptera
- Inta-Vir - enteric contact insecticide to combat aphids, leaf-eating caterpillars, thrips, whitefly
- Akarin - a broad-spectrum insecticide for the destruction of ticks, aphids, sawflies, moths, leafworms, garden pests.
- Bi-58 - insectoaccaricide is effective against ticks, scale insects, leafworms, moths, sucker, moths, root pests.
Biologicals:
- Lepidocide - for processing from caterpillars, false caterpillars, sawflies on fruit and berry and forest deciduous, coniferous species.
- Bitoxibacillin (BTB-202) completely repeats the action of the previous drug, and is also used against spider mites.
- Gaupsin - is used against all fungal diseases, as well as against ticks, moths, leafworms, aphids.
- Fitoverm - recommended for the fight against ticks, moth, many species of aphids, apple moth, sawflies, thrips, leaf rollers.
Spraying trees during flowering
During flowering, the garden is not treated with insecticides and fungicides. You can use biological products that stimulate the formation of the ovary. This is especially true when, during the flowering period of trees, the weather is not conducive to the flight of bees. Actually, the drug is called "Ovary" or "Universal Ovary". It is classified as a growth promoter. 
Fruit trees are processed twice - during the period of active flowering, and during the period of fruit formation (7-10 days after the first spraying).
Berry bushes are also sprayed twice - in the budding phase, and during the formation of the ovary.
During flowering, the intensity of gardening is reduced. You can take the time to fill the hollows that have been cleaned and disinfected earlier.
Spraying trees and shrubs after flowering
By the time of the beginning of fruiting, all insects have already woken up and are aimed at creating voracious offspring, which will destroy the entire future harvest along with the foliage - a trifle. Therefore, one must not lose vigilance. At this time, fruit trees are treated from pests, guided by the principle of an individual approach.
For apricot, the main threat is clasterosporium and monilial burn. Regardless of previous treatments, apricot trees need to be treated with copper oxychloride or 1% copper sulfate solution. If aphids and leaf rollers are present, add insecticide to the spray solution.
Plum most often suffers from moniliosis, clasterosporiosis, polystygmosis, etc. Copper oxychloride with the addition of an insecticide (if necessary) is used for spraying.
Sweet cherries and cherries are susceptible to clasterosporia, coccomycosis, aphids appear on the foliage, leaf rollers, cherry fly, etc. are activated. For fungal diseases, trees are treated with topsin, copper oxychloride. From insects - spraying with ash, sumition.
On pears and apple trees, after flowering, the appearance of powdery mildew, scab and other spots on foliage. It is necessary to spray with fungicides such as Vectra, Rubigan, strobe, speed. Repeat spraying after 12 days, while changing the drug to another.
And in this way it is necessary to analyze and spray all the fruit trees and shrubs in the garden.
After the trees have faded, there is a high risk of sawflies, ticks, aphids, leafworms and other pests. At the first signs of the presence of these "friends" of the garden, it is necessary to treat the trees with broad-spectrum insecticides - BI 58N, Rogor S, Mitak, Danadim, etc.

Spring is the time when all living things awaken. Including pests of the garden - in the spring they are not yet very active, but if you do not take care of the seedlings and mature trees in time, the future harvest will be in jeopardy. Attention should be paid not only to spraying plants in the spring from bugs, midges and infections. A considerable threat to crops is carried by mole rats - the gardener cannot do without fighting them, because these animals are extremely gluttonous.
Treatment of plants in spring: what and when to spray trees
Pest control in the spring comes to the fore for gardeners. At the end of April, according to long-term average data, in the conditions of our zone, black cherry aphid hatches on and red viburnum. Do not be late with the processing of plants in the spring. Any insecticide approved for gardeners will kill the aphids while they have not rolled the leaves of the young shoots.
Take a closer look at the young leaves, it will appear soon gall aphidwhich causes them to swell and redden. Try to keep the chemical solution on the underside of the leaf while spraying.
How to spray shrubs in the spring from pests and diseases to flowering bush?
- Spray gooseberries with Topaz or Fast, from powdery mildew to flowering bush. In April, all fruit and berry crops are necessarily sprayed from rose leaf rollers and weevils.
- To prevent pests from getting used to pesticides, alternate treatment from pests in the spring with preparations of different active substances.
The flower beetle is especially dangerous for. Sometimes up to 80% of the buds are damaged by this pest, the inner part of which is eaten away by larvae. Such buds do not bloom, and the petals look like brown caps.
Apple blossom beetle - one of the many weevils - overwintered in cracks in the bark or in the upper layer of soil and now leaves its wintering grounds and climbs trees. He gnaws deep wounds in the kidneys, from which droplets of juice are released ("crying kidneys"). Without treating the trees in spring, the harvest may be at risk.
During the budding period, the females lay one egg in the buds. If fruit trees are not processed in spring, one female can damage up to 100 buds. That is why, having found weevils on trees, they are sprayed with chemicals in order to destroy them.
Leaf rollers - dangerous plant pests, especially in the spring. If spraying is not carried out in the spring from this pest, the plants may die.
When to spray trees against pests in the spring so as not to miss the moment?
It is better to process the plants from the leaf roll until the end of April, but if you did not have time, do it in the first days of May.
Treat trees and shrubs in the spring in the evening: caterpillars, which have already managed to hide in young leaves, will come out closer to night to damage the ovaries and other leaves and meet with pesticides.
In the morning, check your work: after dying, the caterpillars hang from the branches in garlands on cobwebs.
On the buds (before flowering), it's time to process pome trees (apples and pears) against scab, which causes great harm to the crop. For the simultaneous destruction of the hatched leafworm and numerous weevil beetles, spraying can be combined with any insecticide.

Protecting trees in the spring from pests and caring for the garden in May
In May, cabbage and onion flies begin to fly. They lay white oblong eggs 1 mm long on plant stems at the root collar, on onions - sometimes between leaves, and most importantly - near plants under lumps of earth. Depending on the air temperature and soil moisture, larvae (small white worms) develop from the eggs in 5-10 days. They are being introduced into lower part the stem and roots of cabbage, and through the bottom or base of the leaves - into the bulb. In both cases, the normal development of plants is disrupted, and with severe damage, young plants die.
Deterrent agents - tobacco dust, wood ash... If the larvae nevertheless appeared, use "Bazudin" or other preparations in which active substance - diazinon.
Apple moth. The main pest of apple fruits, which must be dealt with in May. Distributed everywhere. It is a small butterfly with a wingspan of 15 to 20 mm. The forewings are elongated, dark gray, with numerous transverse wavy lines. The harmful stage is a pinkish or whitish caterpillar with a pale brown head, up to 12-18 mm long.
Caterpillars overwinter in dense silky cocoons under the old peeled bark, in its cracks on the trunk and main branches, in hollows and cracks of backwaters, in sheds and fruit storage rooms, in the surface layer of the soil and under leaves. Without tree protection in spring, crops can be compromised.
During the period of staining of apple buds, caterpillars pupate in the same places where they hibernated. Butterflies emerge 2-3 weeks after pupation. After ten days, butterflies lay eggs on leaves and fruits. One female lays up to 100 or more eggs. After 8-10 days, caterpillars hatch, which penetrate the fruits, make passages in the pulp, get to the seed chamber of the fruit and gnaw out the seeds. The fruits become wormy and fall off prematurely. In conditions North Caucasus the codling moth develops in two generations. Caterpillars of the first generation hatch at the end of May, and the second - at the end of June - in the first ten days of July.
For the treatment of fruit trees in the spring from pests, it is recommended to spray during the hatching period of caterpillars with one of the insecticides: (Aliot, Iskra Double Effect, Iskra-M, Senpai, Fufanon-Nova, Karate, Kinmiks " and etc.).
IN autumn period before whitewashing boles, the old dead bark should be thoroughly cleaned and immediately burned. Together with the cleanings, the moth caterpillars that have crawled under the bark are also destroyed.
The same species of moth damages pears.
Every gardener can determine the exact days for spraying trees in spring from moth pests by the white acacia blooming nearby. Acacia blooms when the amount effective temperatures (above + 10 ° C) will be 230 ° C, it is at this sum of temperatures that the caterpillars emerge from the eggs.
Krawchik beetle, popularly called "strigun"... This beetle is 2 cm long, with a large head and highly developed powerful jaws.
Beetles hibernate in the soil, in burrows. In April, they come to the surface and begin to feed on various herbaceous plants, including strawberry flower stalks, and vegetable and flower seedlings.
At this time, beetles make burrows up to 60 cm deep, mainly on hard areas, slopes, near roads and in other soddy places. On the sides of deep minks, females arrange chambers where they lay eggs in May and then fill these chambers with young leaves, pieces of shoots of fruit trees, strawberries and other cultivated and wild plants... The female walled up the chamber densely filled with greenery with earth, where the green mass sour without access to air. A kind of silage is formed, which the hatched larvae feed on.
The larva grows in about a month, reaching a length of 25-30 mm. White, thick, with three pairs of legs, the kravchik larva resembles the larvae of beetles.
An adult larva makes an ovoid cocoon in the ground, inside which it pupates. At the end of July, beetles appear that remain to winter in the soil.
Crovchik causes great harm to plants, cutting off green shoots with powerful jaws. There are especially many of these beetles in gardens and orchards surrounded by abandoned areas.
When caring for the garden in spring from pests to flowering, plants should be sprayed with one of the insecticides (Iskra-M, Kinmiks, Fufanon, etc.). On vegetable beds to protect plants in spring, the burrows of the kravchik can be poured with a solution of one of the indicated preparations, prepared according to the instructions, as for spraying.
The enemy of garlic is the onion winepress. IN last years this pest almost completely destroys garlic plantings in garden plots. Harms both winter and spring garlic, turning its heads into dust. In and around damaged garlic, you can count up to 30 red caterpillars up to 2.5 cm long. Caterpillars overwinter in a cocoon in the soil, feeding from autumn on garlic carrion or newly planted chives. The onion winepress develops in one generation. Its butterflies fly in June, emerging from pupae located at the soil surface.

Fighting mole rats in the garden and in the garden
Fighting mole rats is also a big concern for gardeners. In recent years, these animals have become a big disaster for gardeners. They begin to harm in spring. They ruthlessly destroy tulips, hyacinths, muscari, even colchicum. On a garden bed, except for greenery, it is already impossible to plant anything.
Deaf - an animal leading an underground lifestyle and, unlike a mole, it is herbivorous. The blind rats, the size of which reaches 35 cm, build huge systems of passages, separate sections of several meters in length are set aside for storerooms. Usually the system consists of feed passages, which are located close to the soil surface, and deep ones. These "floors" are connected by inclined drifts. For the winter, the animal clogs part of the passages with earth and lives in the central part of its labyrinth due to large reserves (up to 50-60 kg) made in summer period, which are neatly laid in the "pantries" at a depth of 1-1.5 m in clay.
In the fight against mole rats in the garden, a lot has been tried different methods, namely:
- catching for fishing tee hooks No. 12-14, for rat traps;
- tried to catch the animals by burying empty buckets along the burrows;
- scared away by the sound of empty metal cans suspended from posts;
- used firecrackers 5-6 cm long in order to concussion or at least drive the animals out of the area with an explosion in the burrow. Many, not knowing how to deal with mole rats, used a lot of other methods - poisoned baits, carbide, ammonia, kerosene, but did not get the desired result.
The capture of several animals did not lead to the release of the site from uninvited guests for a long time.
Battery operated electronic scarers have proven ineffective. The animals quickly get used to the sounds that they periodically emit and bypass them in close proximity.
How else can you deal with mole rats in the garden
There are two effective ways, how else can you deal with mole rats in the garden or in the garden:
1. Pass the hose from the propane gas cylinder into the mole rat's hole and open the tap for 15-20 minutes, having previously tightly closed the hose inlet so that the gas does not escape outside. One time is enough to rid the area of \u200b\u200bmole rats for two to three years.
2. When the mounds of the earth appeared again - the mole rats returned for our harvest, there was no propane in the cylinder. They put a rubber hose on the exhaust pipe and shoved the other end into the tunnel. The engine also worked at idle speed for 15-20 minutes. And now several years have passed, and there are no underground inhabitants.
After the years of increased number of mole rats, a period of decline will surely come, which is associated with a complex of natural and climatic factors.
For some, the time of sowing seeds for seedlings is a long-awaited and pleasant chore, for someone it is a heavy need, and someone is thinking about whether it is easier to buy ready-made seedlings on the market or from friends? Anyway, even if you gave up growing vegetable crops, for sure, you still have to sow something. These are flowers and perennials, conifers and much more. Seedlings remain seedlings, no matter what you sow.
Lover humid air and one of the most compact and rare orchids, paphinia is a real star for most orchid growers. Its bloom rarely lasts longer than a week, but it can be an unforgettable sight. Unusual striped patterns on huge flowers I want to consider a modest orchid endlessly. IN room culture paphenia is rightly included in the ranks of species that are difficult to grow. It only became fashionable with the proliferation of indoor terrariums.
Pumpkin ginger marmalade is a warming sweetness that can be made almost all year round... Pumpkin has a long shelf life - sometimes I manage to save a few vegetables until summer, fresh ginger and lemons are always available these days. Lemon can be substituted with lime or orange for different flavors - variety in sweets is always a pleasure. Ready marmalade is laid out in dry jars, it can be stored at room temperature, but it is always more useful to cook fresh food.
In 2014, the Japanese company "Takii seed" presented a petunia with an amazing color of petals - salmon orange. Associations with bright colors southern sunset sky, a unique hybrid was named African Sunset ("African sunset").
