Spring is the beginning of garden work for. Not only nature awakens, but also various insects- pests that prevent the growth and fruiting of fruit trees and shrubs. In order for 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 spring in the garden from pests? The answer to this question will help you save 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 heat and with the snow melting, you can proceed to 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 branches, clean the trunk from dead bark and lichen present on it. Cleaned areas should be processed garden pitch or other special means.
- Whitewashing plants. Usually, a solution of slaked lime 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 sale. This composition is more stable than mortar, and protects against pests and disinfects the bark.
- Digging the soil. 3-4 days before spraying trees, you need to dig 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.
For the treatment of trees and shrubs, various preparations are used. Of the chemicals most often used are the following types.
- Even before the buds swell (preferably at the end of March), all the trees and bushes on the site should be sprayed with a solution blue vitriol(taken 100 grams per bucket of water). This will help to avoid fungal diseases, the formation of mosses and lichens, black cancer, scab. Bordeaux liquid also helps well. These are the most popular and proven tools.
- To protect grapes from spotted necrosis, anthracnose and bacterial cancer, it must be treated with an aqueous solution iron sulphate(for a bucket of water 200 grams of funds), spraying the vine and the 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 preparations. They are able to prevent the appearance of ticks, weevils, flower beetles, suckers. If the pests have already settled on the plants, then the treatment must be carried out twice. The second time - after flowering.
But often, gardeners use folk methods for processing horticultural crops. For example, to get rid of spider mite use infusion onion peel. Against caterpillars and aphids - an infusion of garlic. Bred in hot water laundry soap and ash, help to cope with aphids, sucker, powdery mildew.
In order to qualitatively process trees and shrubs, they usually use hand pump or a sprayer, holding it during the procedure at a distance of 80 - 100 centimeters from the plants. From such a distance, the solution will fall on the leaves and branches in the form of small drops. When spraying, for self-protection against pesticides, you should use a respirator (or gauze bandage), goggles, a hat and gloves. Spraying of trees is carried out 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 treated.
So, now you know how to process trees and bushes 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
So that the garden meets your expectations, pleases the eye and soul good harvest, it is necessary to provide him with proper, professional care. Landscape workshop Lenotre-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 is a series of measures aimed at the prevention and treatment of diseases of trees and shrubs, to prevent the invasion of pests or to destroy them. Qualitative and quantitative indicators of the future harvest depend on how timely, efficiently, 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
- By the green cone when the buds hatched
- During flowering
- After flowering.
Spraying is also carried out outside this schedule, as needed.
But at the same time, you need to be aware that the 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 start, 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 people and environment generally.
Landscape workshop LE-PARK provides services for comprehensive spring processing of trees and shrubs in Moscow and the Moscow region. Our specialists carry out competent planning of events, correct selection drugs, timely and high-quality spraying. You can order both complex garden care and seasonal garden processing.
First treatment before awakening of the kidneys
In early March, when the snow melts and the daytime temperature is stable within + 5 ° C, you can start preventive or recreational activities.
Trimming and cleaning trees and shrubs
Garden processing in early spring begins with pruning trees and shrubs. Tops, dead and frozen branches should be removed, the thickened crown should be cleared. At the same time, it is necessary to treat areas of the cortex damaged by rodents. The places of damage are cleaned to a living woody tissue, they must be treated first with copper sulphate (1% solution), then with rannet (the places where branches are cut during pruning are processed in the same way, copper sulphate is not necessary).
After that, it is necessary to carefully, without damaging the bark, clean the trunks and branches from exfoliated and cracked dead bark, from fungal attacks, lichens. Removed dead bark under the tree can not be left. It is advisable to first lay a cellophane film or other bedding around the trunk and under the crown. After completion of work, collect and burn garbage. If there are stumps in the garden that are a constant source of fungal diseases, they must be uprooted.
Be sure to process the hollows, if any. Clean them, disinfect, lubricate and leave to dry, covering them from rain and dirt.
Trunk processing
Further, in the spring processing of trees, whitewashing of trunks and near-stem branches follows. The task of this event is to prevent the development of the remaining larvae laid by pests in the fall, to scare away adult insect pests, which will soon wake up and kill fungal spores.
Effective for these purposes are modern tools (ready-to-use), which can be purchased in specialized stores. They come in several types: aerosol, water-dispersion, acrylic. They usually contain fungicides. It is desirable that the mixture let air through, 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 lower parts of the stem branches of trees.
It is also necessary to prepare near-stem areas for processing. If a autumn work were not carried out, this should be given the closest attention. Remove and burn last year's foliage, mummified fruits.
First spraying of trees and shrubs in early spring
The very first spring spraying of trees is carried out without fail. Spraying is carried out before the awakening of the kidneys, and it is directed primarily against fungal diseases - scab, coccomycosis, leaf spot, against mosses and lichens, etc., as well as against aphids, mites, apple moth caterpillars, suckers, etc.
How to spray trees in early spring? There are many drugs on the market now. The problem is that they are often narrowly targeted. Therefore, pay attention to the description when buying. Better to take drugs a wide range actions. It is clear that it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, for a person far from gardening 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 sulphate, Bordeaux liquid, carbamide, iron sulphate. Pay attention to mixtures of urea with copper sulphate. They are good because, in addition to their direct function of protecting plants, they play the role nitrogen fertilizer and delay the growing season for a week and a half. Both additional factors are useful. Nitrogen top dressing is quite appropriate at the start, and late flowering reduces the risk of falling into spring frosts.
It is necessary to spray the 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 also need to be carefully treated with a solution, after which the area of \u200b\u200bthe near-stem circles is covered with a black film (the film is removed after flowering is over). This is done in order to reduce the likelihood of the release of larvae of harmful insects from the soil.
After spraying, you can put trapping belts on the trees. And although the insects have not yet awakened, very soon their hordes will rush to the trees.
As for shrubs - currants and gooseberries, they are processed immediately after the snow melts. On gooseberries, cut out branches damaged by American powdery mildew, on currants, cut out branches with unnaturally swollen buds in which females of the currant bud mite have settled (take the cut branches out of the garden and burn them). Shrubs are sprayed with solutions of ferrous sulfate or nitrafen.
Second spring processing on the green cone
By the time the buds hatch, the life of flora and fauna will resume after the winter completely and it will become a little clearer what troubles threaten the garden. In addition, an attentive gardener can already, to some extent, predict outbreaks of diseases and the activity of certain types of pests (taking into account current and last year's observations).
The selection of preparations for the treatment of trees and shrubs in this spring time is not an easy task. Every year, dozens of new products are released, to which pests adapt throughout the year. No matter how good this or that drug is, it is not able to solve all problems in a complex, in one go. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully and accurately diagnose diseases, determine the type of pests and select 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 at any time get professional advice 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.
Chemical preparations are quite radical means with some side undesirable effects on the environment.
Biological products are harmless to the environment, animals, pollinating insects and people. Their production is based on the use of living microorganisms (bacteria, bacterial viruses, antagonist fungi). They are not so aggressive towards pests and to achieve the 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– contact-intestinal insecticide against Homoptera, Lepidoptera, Coleoptera
- Inta-Vir– enteric-contact insecticide to control aphids, leaf-eating caterpillars, thrips, whitefly
- Akarin- a broad-spectrum insecticide for the destruction of mites, aphids, sawfly, codling moth, leafworm, garden pests.
- Bi-58- insectoaccaricide is effective against ticks, scale insects, leafworms, codling moths, suckers, moths, root pests.
Biologicals:
- Lepidocide- for processing from caterpillars, 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- used against all fungal diseases, as well as against ticks, codling moths, leafworms, aphids.
- Fitoverm- recommended for the fight against mites, codling moth, many types of aphids, apple moth, sawflies, thrips, leafworms.
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 treated 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 work in the garden decreases. 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 fruit formation begins, all insects have already woken up and are aimed at creating voracious offspring, which will destroy the entire future crop along with foliage - a couple of trifles. Therefore, vigilance must not be lost. At this time, fruit trees are treated from pests, guided by the principle of an individual approach.
For apricot, the main threat is clasterosporia and monilial burn. Regardless of previous treatments, apricot trees must be treated with copper chloride or a 1% solution of copper sulphate. If aphids and leafworms are present, add an insecticide to the spray solution.
Plum most often suffers from moniliosis, clasterosporiasis, polystigmosis, etc. For spraying, copper oxychloride is used with the addition of an insecticide (if necessary).
Sweet cherries and cherries are prone to clasterosporiasis, coccomycosis, aphids appear on the foliage, the leafworm, cherry fly, etc. are activated. From 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 the foliage. It is necessary to spray with fungicides such as Vectra, Rubigan, Strobi, Fast. Spraying is repeated 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, mites, aphids, leafworms, and other pests. At the first sign 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 garden pests - in the spring they are not yet too active, but if you do not take care of seedlings and adult trees in time, the future harvest will be in jeopardy. Attention should be paid not only to spraying plants in the spring from beetles, midges and infections. Mole rats pose a considerable threat to crops - a gardener cannot do without fighting them, because these animals are extremely voracious.
Plant treatment in spring: how and when to spray trees
Pest control in the spring comes to the fore for gardeners. At the end of April, according to average long-term data, under the conditions of our zone, black cherry aphids hatch on and red viburnum. Do not be late with the processing of plants in the spring. Any of the insecticides allowed for gardeners will destroy aphids while they have not yet twisted the leaves of young shoots.
Take a closer look at the young leaves, will appear soon gall aphid, which causes them to swell and redden. Try to get the chemical solution on the underside of the leaf when spraying.
How to spray shrubs in the spring from pests and diseases to the flowering of the bush?
- Spray gooseberries with "Topaz" or "Soon" from American powdery mildew to shrub flowering. In April, all fruit and berry crops are necessarily sprayed from rose leaflets and weevils.
- So that pests do not get used to pesticides, alternate treatment from pests in the spring with preparations of different active substances.
For a particularly dangerous flower beetle. Sometimes up to 80% of 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 the upper layer of soil and is now leaving the wintering grounds and climbing trees. He gnaws deep wounds in the kidneys, from which droplets of juice stand out ("crying of the kidneys"). Without processing trees in the spring, the crop may be in jeopardy.
During the budding period, females lay one egg at a time in buds. If you do not process fruit trees in the 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 pests of plants, especially in the spring. If spraying is not carried out in the spring from this pest, the plants may die.
When to spray trees from pests in the spring, so as not to miss the moment?
From the leaflet, it is better to process the plants before the end of April, but if you didn’t have time, do it in early May.
Process trees and shrubs in the spring in the evening: the caterpillars, which have already managed to hide in young leaves, will come out closer to night to damage the ovaries and other leaves and will meet pesticides.
In the morning, check your work: having died, the caterpillars hang from the branches in garlands on cobwebs.
By buds (before flowering), it's time to process pome trees (apple and pear) 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 from pests in spring 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 the stems of plants near the root neck, onions - sometimes between leaves, and most importantly - near plants under lumps of earth. Depending on air temperature and soil moisture, larvae (small white worms) develop from eggs in 5-10 days. They are being introduced into lower part stem and roots of cabbage, and through the bottom or base of the leaves - into the onion. In both cases, the normal development of plants is disturbed, and in case of severe damage, young plants die.
Repellents - tobacco dust, wood ash. If the larvae nevertheless appeared, use Bazudin or other preparations in which to treat the garden from pests in the spring. active substance- diazinon.
Apple codling moth. The main pest of the fruits of the apple tree, which must be dealt with in May. Distributed everywhere. This 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 hibernate in dense silky cocoons under old lagging bark, in its cracks on the trunk and main branches, in hollows and crevices of supports, in sheds and fruit storages, in the surface layer of soil and under leaves. Without tree protection in the spring, the crop may be at risk.
During the period of coloring the buds of the apple tree, the caterpillars pupate in the same places where they hibernated. Butterflies emerge 2-3 weeks after pupation. After ten days, butterflies lay their eggs on leaves and on 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 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 - the first decade of July.
For the treatment of fruit trees in the spring from pests, spraying during the hatching period of caterpillars with one of the insecticides is recommended: (Aliot, Iskra Double Effect, Iskra-M, Senpai, Fufanon-Nova, Karate, Kinmiks " and etc.).
AT autumn period before whitewashing the boles, the old dead bark should be thoroughly cleaned and immediately burned. Together with the cleanings, the codling moth caterpillars that have climbed under the bark are also destroyed.
The same type of codling moth also damages pears.
Each gardener can determine the exact days for spraying trees in the spring from codling moth pests by the white acacia blooming nearby. Acacia blooms when the sum effective temperatures(above +10 °С) will be 230 °С, it is at this sum of temperatures that caterpillars hatch from eggs.
Kravchik beetle, it is popularly called "strigun". This beetle is 2 cm long, with a large head and strongly developed powerful jaws.
Beetles overwinter 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, the beetles make burrows up to 60 cm deep, mainly on hard areas, slopes, near roads and in other grassy areas. On the sides of deep burrows, females arrange chambers where they lay their 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 closes up the chamber densely filled with greenery with earth, where the green mass sours without access to air. A kind of silo 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 larvae of the kravchik resembles the larvae of the beetles.
The adult larva makes an egg-shaped cocoon in the ground, inside which it pupates. At the end of July, beetles appear, remaining to winter in the soil.
Kravchik 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 a garden in the spring from pests to flowering, plants should be sprayed with one of the insecticides (Iskra-M, Kinmiks, Fufanon, etc.). On the vegetable beds to protect plants in the spring, the burrows of the kravchik can be filled with a solution of one of the indicated preparations, prepared according to the instructions, as for spraying.
The enemy of garlic is an onion whetstone. AT last years this pest almost completely destroys garlic plantings in garden plots. It harms both winter and spring garlic, turning its heads into dust. In damaged garlic and near it, up to 30 red caterpillars up to 2.5 cm long can be counted. Caterpillars overwinter in a cocoon in the soil, feeding from autumn on carrion garlic or newly planted cloves. The onion whetstone develops in one generation. Its butterflies fly in June, emerging from pupae located near the surface of the soil.

Fighting mole rats in the garden and in the garden
The fight against mole rats is also a considerable concern for gardeners. In recent years, these animals have become a big problem for gardeners. Harm begins in the spring. They ruthlessly destroy tulips, hyacinths, muscari, even colchicum. In the garden bed, except for greenery, it is already impossible to plant anything.
mole rat- an animal that leads an underground lifestyle and, unlike the mole, it is herbivorous. Mole rats, whose size reaches 35 cm, build huge systems of passages, separate sections of several meters in length are reserved for pantries. Typically, the system consists of feeding passages, which are located near the soil surface, and deep ones. These "floors" are connected by inclined drifts. For the winter, the animal clogs up some 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 stacked in "pantries" at a depth of 1-1.5 m in clay.
A lot has been tried in the fight against mole rats in the garden different methods, namely:
- catching on fishing tee hooks No. 12-14, on rat traps;
- they tried to catch the animals by burying empty buckets along the burrows;
- scared away by the sound of empty metal cans suspended from posts;
- firecrackers 5-6 cm long were used to concuss or at least drive away animals from the site with an explosion in a hole. Many, not knowing how to deal with mole rats, used a lot of other methods - poisoned baits, carbide, ammonia, kerosene, but the desired result was not obtained.
Catching several animals did not lead to the release of the site from uninvited guests for a long time.
Battery-operated electronic scarers have proven to be ineffective. The animals quickly get used to the sounds that they periodically make 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, after tightly closing the hose inlet so that the gas does not come out. Once is enough to rid the site of mole rats for two to three years.
2. When the mounds of earth reappeared - the mole rats returned for our harvest, there was no propane in the cylinder. They put a rubber hose on the exhaust pipe, and put the other end into the tunnel. At idle, the engine also ran for 15-20 minutes. And now several years have passed, and there are no underground inhabitants.
After years of increased numbers of mole rats, a period of decline is sure to 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 some it is a difficult necessity, and someone thinks about whether it is easier to buy ready-made seedlings on the market or from friends? Whatever it was, even if you refused to grow vegetable crops, for sure, you still have to sow something. These are flowers and perennials, coniferous plants and much more. A seedling is still a seedling, no matter what you plant.
lover humid air and one of the smallest and rarest orchids, pafinia is a real star for most orchid growers. Its flowering rarely lasts longer than a week, but it is an unforgettable sight. Unusual striped patterns huge flowers a modest orchid wants to be considered endlessly. AT room culture Pafinia is rightly included in the ranks of species that are difficult to grow. It became fashionable only with the spread of interior terrariums.
Pumpkin marmalade with ginger is a warming sweet that can be cooked 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 for lime or orange for a variety of flavors - variety in sweets is always nice. Ready marmalade is laid out in dry jars, it can be stored at room temperature, but it is always more useful to prepare fresh products.
In 2014, the Japanese company Takii seed introduced a petunia with a striking salmon-orange petal color. By association with bright colors southern sunset sky, the unique hybrid was named African Sunset (“African Sunset”).
