How to treat trees and shrubs. How to process the garden in early spring - we will tell and show

Autumn has come: the end of the summer season is just around the corner. It's time to start preparing the dacha for winter, in particular, to carry out an autumn eradication spraying of the garden from diseases and pests.

It is believed that the autumn eradication of the garden from diseases and pests should be carried out just after the fall, when the plants completely go into a dormant state: its buds will “close” and become inaccessible to powerful and strong solutions that you will spray them with.

However, there is an opinion that the goal of eradicating autumn processing, on the contrary, consists in destroying the leaves before they themselves turn completely yellow and fall off.

At the same time, you should not be afraid that the kidneys will burn out from such a solution, because at this time they are already ready for anything.

The fact is that, just the same, applying powerful and strong doses of solutions to the foliage should lead to the destruction of pests and diseases while still on the plant, that is, before the leaves fall to the ground and the pathogens hide in the soil (they go into the ground to an inaccessible depth, where they overwinter and begin their harmful activity in the spring).

By the way! Once the treated leaves are on the ground, they can be quite successfully composted for iron fortification or left on the ground (as mulch). But this is in case the plants hurt slightly. If there were a lot of diseases, then it is better to burn the leaves, and use the ashes as fertilizing with iron.

However, if you use copper sulfate or Bordeaux liquid for processing, then you should no longer put it in compost.

In addition, such processing of the garden (before leaf fall, in order to destroy foliage) will ensure much better wintering of plants.

How it works?

Premature damage to the leaves (introducing them into a stressful situation) gives a signal to the plant that winter is coming, which means it's time to actively prepare for the onset of frost.

Incidentally, this processing speeds up the ripening of grape vines, branches of currants, shoots of roses and other plants.

Thus, it is necessary to process the garden even on a leaf 2-3 weeks before the start of natural leaf fall, but strictly after the end of fruiting and harvesting.

A warning! Do not be alarmed if after 2-3 days all the leaves turn black and look burnt. This is exactly what the effect should be - the leaves should “burn out”.

The black color is not only the color of dying leaves, but also the fact that the bark of the branches is encrusted with iron salts, which will protect it for some time from the penetration of various pathogens.

In other words, the approximate timing of the eradication spraying of the garden in the fall is the second half of September-October. In the Urals and Siberia - first of all, a little later - in middle lane(Moscow region), and in the South - at the very end of autumn.

Note! In any case, it is necessary to have time to spray before frost, because. most products work only at positive temperatures (usually +5 degrees).

How to spray a garden in autumn: rules and recommendations for processing trees and shrubs

Before starting the autumn processing of the garden, you should familiarize yourself with the basic rules and recommendations for the preparation and direct spraying of plants.

So, let's start with the point of preparing for the eradication spraying of the garden:

If you spray after leaf fall, then shortly before the procedure it is recommended remove all plant debris (leaves, twigs) from under the trees.

If the tree did not hurt, then they can be thrown on compost heap. But if it hurts, then you need to burn it or bury it very deeply.

The treatment should be carried out on a fine day (in dry and calm weather), and it should be sprayed in the morning so that the leaves and bark are already dry by the evening.

If the rain will quickly wash everything away, then spraying will be useless. It is very good if the solution is held on the tree for at least 2-3 days.

Advice! If it rains, and after them they promise a drop in temperature to minus values, then the plants will have to be left without autumn processing until spring. Unless, if a “window” with a plus and without rain suddenly appears.

and very poorly soluble in water(although iron is better). So first vitriol should be diluted in a small amount of warm water(40 degrees), and then pour through the filter into the sprayer and then dilute to the desired concentration with cold water.

Important! Ferrous and copper sulphate should only be diluted or dissolved in glass or plastic containers but no way not in metal.

Do not forget to filter the solution when pouring into the sprayer(especially if the product is sparingly soluble). As a rule, you should have special mesh. If there is no such grid, then strain can we say through tights or gauze.

Rules for direct spraying the garden:

Don't forget about security measures. Before spraying, put on a special mask, goggles and rubber gloves. Even better if you have a special bathrobe.

Autumn spraying should be as thorough as possible, and not only the crown and all branches of the tree are subject to processing (especially for old trees with cracked bark), but also the soil in the trunk circle. However, do not handle lawn grass, which grows next to the tree (as an option, you can throw a film on the ground under the tree before processing).

If you decide to process the plants before leaf fall, then, of course, the leaves need to be sprayed on both sides.

Ideally, if during spraying you create a whole cloud of solution, similar to fog.
If you are near fruit trees conifers grow, then the processing must be done very carefully, trying not to fall on them, especially if the garden was sick and you are using a strong solution that can burn evergreens.

Note! If you processed the garden in the fall, this does not mean that it is not necessary. More as needed! Autumn eradication spraying is virtually the same.

What plants to process in the fall

We will answer briefly: it is desirable to spray absolutely all adults fruit trees(apple trees, pears, cherries, sweet cherries, plums, apricots, peaches), berry bushes (raspberries, currants, gooseberries, strawberries,) and other ornamental plants and flowers (roses, hydrangeas, phloxes, delphiniums).

Important! For autumn processing evergreen shrubs(rhododendron, heather, pieris) the concentration should be reduced to 2% if with iron sulphate, and to 1% if blue vitriol or Bordeaux liquid.

Young seedlings of trees and shrubs planted this spring should not be processed - it is better to wait until next year and spend it.

Flowering plants are sprayed after they have faded or already at the end of flowering, and fruit-bearing plants - after harvesting.

However, if the plant did not hurt at all, then the treatment can be carried out either purely prophylactically (in the minimum dose), or not carried out at all.

How to spray the garden in the fall from diseases and pests: the best remedies

Compared to spring treatments, the choice of products for autumn garden spraying is not so great, but in any case, you should familiarize yourself with the most effective products suitable for uprooting.

inkstone

It is perhaps the most popular means for the autumn uprooting of the garden.

Also he (iron vitriol) helps to get rid of mosses and lichens(in theory, after processing, they will die and fall off the bark themselves).

Natural spraying will enrich soil and plant iron.

By the way! More about the use of iron sulphate in horticulture read

Some gardeners believe that it works against harmful insects that overwinter in the bark.

However! There is an opinion that it is useless to fight pests during the eradication spraying in autumn, because. they themselves die, but all the eggs have long been laid, the larvae pupated and hid.

What concentration of urea solution is needed to process the garden?

Dose primarily depends on if your plants got sick this year and how severe the infestation was:

Important! The concentration does not depend on age.

if the trees and shrubs were not sick (the garden was “clean”) - 300 grams per 10 liters of water;
if sick - 500-700 grams per 10 liters of water.

Note! Indeed, which in the autumn period can provoke the growth of shoots, but due to the fact that the treatment is carried out shortly before the first frosts, urea will not cause any effect other than “eradicating” (fungicidal and insecticidal).

The perfect combination: iron sulfate + urea

To increase the effectiveness of the eradicating autumn treatment of the garden, it is very desirable to mix urea and, having prepared a kind of tank mixture.

That is, for example, in 10 liters of water dissolve 300-500 grams of urea and 200-500 grams of iron sulfate.

By the way! Urea is just the same for sure will act against the larvae of harmful insects.

Video: autumn processing of trees and shrubs with iron sulfate and urea

It will be even better if you use the recipe for autumn eradication treatment from popular YouTube channel Procvetok, namely (recipe for 10 liters of water): initially dissolve 20-30 grams of citric acid in water (to keep iron sulfate in an unoxidized state, so it will be more effective), then add 300-500 g of iron sulfate, 500-700 g urea (urea) and 3-4 tbsp. spoons (50 ml) of liquid soap or dishwashing detergent (for better adhesion on leaves and branches) and top up with the required amount of water (up to 10 liters).

It is required to use citric acid, a not any vinegar or something similar.

The same goes for liquid soap or dishwashing detergents, i. e. laundry or green soap is not suitable.

blue vitriol

Another excellent and inexpensive fungicide for the autumn processing of fruit crops and berry bushes.

In general, the spectrum of action is similar to iron vitriol, except that you cannot definitely defeat mosses and lichens with the help of such spraying.

However! In autumn, as a rule, it is used precisely, and not copper (its spring).

The fact is that an excess of copper is not good (even toxic in a sense), while an excess of iron is not dangerous and is even beneficial for plants (within reasonable limits).

The consumption of copper sulfate for the preparation of a working solution for autumn spraying:

if the trees and shrubs did not hurt or practically did not hurt - 100-200 grams per 10 liters of water;
if sick - 300 grams per 10 liters of water.

Bordeaux mixture

In other words, spraying the garden with Bordeaux liquid (similar to copper sulphate) helps in the prevention and control of other blotches, as well as powdery mildew, various rots, including.

You can buy ready-made Bordeaux mixture either. For example, for a 3% solution, you will need to take 300 grams of copper sulfate and 400-450 grams of lime. Copper sulfate is dissolved in 5 liters of warm water, then lime is dissolved in a separate bucket (in 5 liters). Then, in a thin stream, constantly stirring, the vitriol is poured into the lime solution.

The required concentration of the solution of Bordeaux mixture when processing the garden in the fall:

if the plants did not get sick - 1% (100 grams of copper sulfate and 100-150 grams of lime per 10 liters);
there was an infection - 3% (300 grams of copper sulfate and 400-450 grams of lime per 10 liters).

Important! Do not be afraid if, after processing with Bordeaux liquid, your garden has become blue color. It's simple: the solution has a bluish color due to the presence of copper, and keeps on the branches thanks to lime. Sometimes such spraying is called "blue".

What else can you spray trees and shrubs in the fall

It's worth understanding! There is no point in treating with the preparations that you used in spring and summer, because. they are intended for processing on foliage, and autumn eradicating spraying is carried out precisely after leaf fall. Although, if you decontaminate before it falls, then there is a certain sense, as it were, but in general it is useless.

However, some summer residents process their fruit trees and shrubs in more sophisticated ways, for example, by making a tank mix based on "Quick"

Thus, if you timely and correctly carry out the autumn eradication of the garden from pests and diseases, then next year you can expect a repeat of success.

Note! In autumn, only one eradicating spraying is carried out. It is not necessary to treat the plants with all the preparations at once and several times. That is, for example, it is enough to treat only with urea and.

In contact with

Experts recommend protective spraying in the fall. This day should be without rain, dry and frost-free. At a time when trees bloom, bear fruit and ripen, they do not need protection from various small pests. How and what to spray the garden in the fall, you can learn from this article.

Preparing plants for processing

On the winter time insects are looking for a warm place to sit out the cold season there. Such places are fallen leaves, bark and soil. As a result, spraying of fruit trees should be carried out precisely in the autumn period.

Such an action will help rid the trees of scab, spotting, putrefactive diseases and other misfortunes. Due to the fact that under the bark of plants that are not processed, bacteria multiply much faster, the vegetative process slows down.

After winter, the plants slowly "wake up" and their processing has great importance autumn. Before spraying the trees in the fall, they need to be prepared.

Preparation and processing is carried out in several stages and depends on the age of the seedlings:

If the plants are more than six years old, then first you need to remove the old bark and lichen with a metal brush. This is done so that the pathogens various diseases were unable to hide.
As soon as everything was removed from the trees, spraying is carried out. The very last spraying should be done after all the leaves have fallen off. You can also do this after the first frost. First you need to remove all the leaves, branches and weeds that have fallen.

How to process garden trees

How to spray fruit trees in the fall? fruit garden plants solutions of urea, ferrous or copper sulphate are best protected. Each solution is aimed at a specific type of threat.

And therefore, spraying plants can not be carried out with only one preparation. The tool is selected depending on what result is needed. Experts recommend doing this procedure at the end of October.

inkstone

Fruit trees, such as apple trees, plums, cherries and peaches, are treated and fed with this preparation. After plant treatment get a lot of useful trace elements and iron. Also, after the procedure, oxidative processes improve.

If it is not enough, then the quantity and quality of the crop decreases. Preparing a solution of iron sulphate is easy. It is necessary to mix one kg of dry powder with 15 liters of water.

blue vitriol

If you do not know what trees are sprayed with in the fall, use copper sulfate. This drug, which has a fungicide in its composition, does not allow putrefactive diseases to appear, powdery mildew, scab and spotting.

Plums this drug protects against moniliosis, coccomycosis, clasterosporosis and curly. For pears and apple trees, it provides a protective reaction against monioiosis, scab and phyllosticosis.

If the trees in the garden are not older than six years, then use up to two liters of copper sulfate solution per seedling. If the plant is older, then use up to ten liters.

It is best to spray fruit trees in the garden in the morning or evening. The temperature should be from +5 to +30 degrees, and it is also not desirable that there be wind.

Processing the garden with urea

It is recommended to spray urea on plants in the garden as the first or last step in preparing for winter. The first spraying should be done with a high concentration of the product. Such an action kills all pest larvae.

Saplings in the garden are processed in the fall after half of the leaves have fallen off. To do this, make a solution - 10 liters of water and 500 g of urea. When all the foliage has fallen on the trees, the solution is made more concentrated by 7%.

Need to process trunks, branches and ground. This is an excellent tree protection and fertilizer. Just do not overdo it with the preparation of the solution, if it is too concentrated, then the leaves will get burned and fall off earlier than necessary.

As a result, the intake of nutrients will decrease and the frost resistance of fruit trees will decrease.

The nuances of autumn garden processing

Plants in the garden are sprayed using a manual or mechanized apparatus. This device evenly sprays the drug and protects the person from contact with the latter. Regardless of what principle the device has, they all have spray pump.

Mechanical models differ from manual models in terms of ease of use and difference in cost. Mechanical - much more convenient, but more expensive. Processing trees with a manual machine requires periodic pumping.

When there are wounds and cracks on the trees, then in addition to lime, the following means must also be used:

cow dung;
finely chopped straw.

There is another way to protect trees - garden var. You can make it yourself or buy it in a store. To prepare, you need 100 g of rosin and 200 g of beeswax.

These products must be melted separately, then mixed together and add 100 g of unsalted fat to the mixture. Before filling cracks, garden pitch must be heated.

In the southern regions, trees need to be cut in autumn, and in the northern regions, such an action will lead to the freezing of the plant.

The need for autumn processing

Treating the garden from pests and diseases in the fall is extremely important.

There are several reasons for this:

autumn gardening is a good preventive procedure, reducing the number of wintering pathogens;
autumn heat and humid air stimulate the reproduction of microbes and bacteria. at this time they penetrate the sap flow system and spread throughout the tree;
autumn processing of the garden is recommended at the beginning of leaf fall, and during this period the main work has already been completed, the gardener has more free time;
there is still a lot of time before the fruit ripens and you can apply more concentrated and effective mixtures;
special attention should be paid to the treatment of young trees. Them the immune system not yet strong and untreated trees may not survive until spring;
autumn treatment with increased concentrations of drugs destroys most of the insects settled for the winter.

Processing time

Under the trees, the soil is not yet covered with fallen leaves and it also needs to be treated with a prepared pesticide. Thus, we will destroy the pests that have gone to winter in the soil and are waiting for warming from the foliage.

Tree preparation

Beginning in mid-autumn, trees begin to prepare for winter. It is possible to increase the winter hardiness of trees by applying phosphorus and potash fertilizers.

Foundations skeletal branches and the tree trunk is cleaned of dead bark and pests hiding in its cracks. At the same time, the trunks and bases of the branches cover protective layer garden whitewash. The trunks of young trees are tied with roofing material, covering material or nylon tights.

How to spray fruit trees?

For spraying the garden in the autumn, you can use:

inkstone

Trees are treated with a solution of iron sulphate either before the start of the growing season, or with the onset of leaf fall. Dissolved in water, this powder helps fight diseases of pome and stone fruit trees, and berry bushes. The action of iron sulphate is detrimental to moniliosis, spotting, and scab.

For processing the garden, a 5-7% solution of the substance is used. To prepare the working fluid, you must:

500-700 g of powder is dissolved in a small amount of warm water;
after complete dissolution, the volume of liquid is adjusted to 10 l;
strained mixture is poured into a sprayer;
set up a very fine spray;
evenly cover the leaves and branches with a solution, it’s not scary if some of the liquid gets on the ground. It also needs to be sprayed.

blue vitriol

Wasp copper sulfate or copper sulfate is a recognized fungicide that helps in the fight against spotting, rot, scab, coccomycosis, lichens.

The working solution of copper sulphate for garden treatment should have a concentration of 3-5%. It is prepared in the same way as iron sulphate, only 300-500 g of powder is taken for the same amount of water. Prepare and use in the same way.

Urea or urea

The use of urea or carbamide for fall gardening involves tilling the trees and the soil underneath. The term for such processing is the beginning of leaf fall. A strong solution of urea is able to burn out all wintering forms of pests and diseases.

30="">Drug 30v

Insect-acaricidal "Preparation 30V" destroys in the garden and on berry bushes wintering pests: scale insects, whiteflies, leafworms, aphids, ticks, moths.

Preparation 30V

The drug disrupts the air and water balance of insects, leading them to death. Pests cannot adapt to the action of the drug, it can be used annually. The advantages of the tool include environmental Safety, high efficiency, excellent adhesion, the ability to use the whole season from spring to autumn. The drug has a contact effect, it must be applied without leaving untreated areas.

The drug is very easy to breed. It is simply dissolved in water and used within the next 2 hours after dilution.

Treatments are carried out at an outdoor temperature above +4°C.

The concentration of the solution for the treatment of trees and shrubs is 3-4%.

The protective effect of the drug lasts from 5 to 10 days. You can harvest after processing after 20 days.

Diesel fuel or diesel fuel (DT)

Solar oil is an oily liquid. After treating the tree with such a liquid, an oil film forms on the surface of the bark, which destroys pests by blocking their respiratory openings.

Diesel fuel, being the result of oil refining, is not considered an environmentally friendly substance, and therefore it is dangerous to use it in the spring. It is best to use such a tool in the fall, by the time of harvest it will completely disintegrate and will not remain in ripened fruits.

Successful recipes for the use of diesel fuel:

1 part of ferrous sulfate is dissolved in 10 parts of water;
add 10 parts of lime milk 10% concentration;
20 parts of diesel fuel are added to the resulting mixture;
the resulting mixture is used to process plantings after leaf fall.

Another successful recipe:

5 parts of clay are dissolved in 5 parts of water;
20 parts of diesel fuel are added to the resulting mixture;
plantings are treated with the resulting emulsion.

Another solution that is effective in pest control:

grind 1 part of laundry soap;
the chips are dissolved in 9 parts of water;
10 parts of diesel fuel are added to the resulting solution;
we process the garden with the resulting emulsion.

Using diesel fuel, you need to remember that its density and water are very different, and you won’t be able to get a complete solution. When mixing water and diesel fuel, an emulsion is formed, which is very quickly divided into two fractions. Keeping this in mind, when working with such a mixture, you need to periodically shake the solution.

Bordeaux liquid

Bordeaux liquid is a mixture of copper sulfate and lime in a 1: 1 ratio. This mixture destroys foci of diseases (moniliosis, spotting, rot and fungal diseases, scab), and also destroys wintering forms of insects.

To prepare Bordeaux liquid, you will need lime, blue vitriol, water, any non-metallic utensils and litmus paper:

in a non-metallic container, 1 kg of copper sulfate is diluted in a small amount of hot water and brought to 50 liters;
in another container, 1 kg of quicklime is quenched and the solution is diluted to 50 liters, filtered;
immediately before use, both solutions are combined - a solution of copper sulphate is added to the milk of lime (but not vice versa).
the resulting mixture is checked with litmus paper - the reaction of the solution should be neutral;
for better adhesion of the solution per 100 liters of liquid, add 100 g of sugar or 5 cups of paste;
Ready mixture can be purchased at a garden store.

Bordeaux mixture should be used in warm, dry, calm weather. Up to 10 liters are used per tree.

Bishal

Autumn and early spring processing of fruit trees can be carried out using the Bishal preparation. This is a solution of the natural remedy bischofite. It contains almost all microelements necessary for plants.

Depending on the concentration, trees can be treated with this solution before bud break or before leaf fall, a garden can be cultivated on a green leaf, and can be used to soak seeds.

Autumn treatment of the garden with a solution of bishali will destroy pests prepared for wintering, bacterial, viral and fungal infections.

For autumn processing, bischal is bred in a ratio of 1:10.

Bishal, like urea, burns out all the infection that remains in the cracks of the bark, but unlike urea, it contains many essential trace elements.

The advantages of bishali include the absence of a waiting period after processing the garden.

Soap copper emulsion

Another tool for autumn garden processing is a soap-copper emulsion. The recipe for its preparation is very simple:

10 g of copper sulfate are dissolved in 0.5 l of water;
separately, 100 g of planed laundry soap is diluted in warm water;
a solution of soap is added to the solution of copper sulfate, the volume of the mixture is adjusted to 10 l;
if the water is hard (flakes appear in the solution), you can add 50 g of soda ash.

With a high number of wintering pests or a strong infection with an infection, the doses of soap and copper sulfate are increased by 2-3 times.

Adding an article to a new collection

In autumn, in addition to harvesting, summer residents have another important task - preparing the garden for winter. In order to enjoy the fruits again next year, it is important to properly treat the plants and the soil under them from diseases and pests.

Autumn processing of the garden includes spraying the crowns of bushes and trees with insecticides (Aktara, Inta-Vir) and fungicides, digging the soil, fertilizing and protecting plants from rodents. With the onset of cold weather, heat-loving crops are additionally covered with spunbond and mulched with sawdust, peat, dry leaves and other materials.

Pest Control

In early autumn, trapping belts are removed from the trees and burned along with caterpillars of the codling moth, weevils and other garden pests that have climbed there. With the onset of cold weather, insects for hibernation burrow into the soil trunk circles and under the bark of plants, so the first step is to clean the stems from old bark, moss and lichens, cover the wounds with garden pitch and whitewash the trees with a special solution with the addition of copper sulfate.

Time and means for spraying trees in spring.

Every person associates a garden with delicious apples, pears, plums, peaches and cherries. But in order to grow such a garden, you need to work a lot and process trees and plants in time. Let's take a closer look at the methods and means for caring for the garden so that it generously pleases us with its beauty and delicious fruits.

When to spray trees and shrubs in the garden in spring: timing, schedule

A responsible owner, who cares about the future harvest, begins work in the garden immediately after the first snow has melted. After all, there is a lot of work to be done: before proceeding directly to spraying the garden, you need to carefully prepare everything.

In the first half or middle of March see if there is dry bark and branches damaged after winter, all this needs to be removed. Spring is a very troublesome time, nature is waking up and you need to seize the moment to protect it from various diseases and pests.

If you are just starting to deal with this business, and are not very versed in the intricacies, then it is better to invite an experienced specialist who will tell you what needs to be done first. 3 months of spring can be conditionally divided into 3 main stages in gardening:

In order to better navigate these stages, professionals in this field have developed special calendars and manuals, which give the exact timing of tree processing, depending on the problem.

Such detailed schedules are developed in order to know how to act in a given situation. Be responsible owners of your garden and let it always thank you generously for your efforts.

When in the garden in the spring to do the first spraying of fruit trees: apple trees, pears, plums?

In order for the garden to give the owners a bountiful harvest in the fall, you need to work hard in the spring. In the summer, you can also carry out preventive spraying as diseases occur.

Now, let's take a closer look at when to spray in the spring. After all, it is then that you need to strengthen your care after the winter break.

Let's start with everyone's favorite apple trees. You need to spray them in:

Period before bud formation(often fruit trees are sprayed in order to protect the tree from a variety of fungi and other insects that survived after the winter). Spraying should be carried out when the temperature outside reaches at least 6-7 degrees Celsius. Previously, this procedure does not make any sense, since its effectiveness will be reduced to zero.
The period when the buds begin to bloom(at this time it is very important to ensure that they are not attacked by scab or other insects that affect the number of fruits).
Rosebud Period care must also be taken to ensure that the pests listed above do not infect the tree and lead to huge crop losses.
Direct flowering period(At this time, the trees are very much at risk of infection by various types of mites, caterpillars, aphids, etc.). The most important thing at this time is a quick response and spraying as soon as you see the first signs of infection. So the opportunity to save other types of trees in the garden increases several times.
Spraying immediately after the apple trees have faded, to protect against moths, scab, or 14-21 days if the codling moth and other pests have attacked.

The procedure for spraying pears and plums is similar, the periods are the same. Plums are very susceptible to various fungal diseases, which, unfortunately, without the use chemicals cannot be overcome.

If you are very fond of apples, pears and plums, then do everything possible to protect them. The main thing is to strictly follow the recommendations and adhere to the deadlines.

You can also help fruit trees by dropping harmful beetles on the litter and wrapping them with special belts that help trap flower beetles. These measures together give a very good result which is worth all the effort. If you are just starting to care for a young garden, then these tips will help you figure out how and when to start gardening.

How to process fruit trees and shrubs in early spring before bud break?

Now there are a huge number of tools that can be used to combat various pests and diseases of horticultural crops. All of them have a different spectrum of action and effectiveness, but following the methods of application and the correct dosage will allow you to achieve high results when harvesting in the fall.

Remember that you need to choose a garden treatment product depending on the level of infection of the trees and the expected occurrence of various diseases. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the means that can be used until the moment when the buds begin to bloom:

inkstone – effective remedy allowing to speed up the vegetation process and prevent or, in case of a disease, cure fruit trees from different types insects and fungal diseases, which at the present time have appeared even more. Concentration ready mix for spraying should not exceed 3%. The method of application can be read in detail on the package, where the dosage is also prescribed.

Nitrafen, can also be used to combat various insects, it helps especially well to fight mites, aphids, etc. that have overwintered in the bark. For spraying fruit trees, a 3% mixture is used, and for shrubs - 2%.
blue vitriol- promotes the opening of the kidneys and their growth, and also actively fights against various pathogens. The solution should be with a 1% concentration of this substance, it will be enough to process shrubs and large trees in the garden.

Preparation №30 often used by experienced gardeners to control various types of scale insects and mite eggs, it also perfectly removes aphid larvae and caterpillars. It has proven itself for a long time and is still in great demand for the control of these pests. It should be applied just before the opening of the kidneys at a 3% concentration.
Oleocuprite 4%- fights with laid eggs of aphids, mites and suckers, and also helps protect trees or shrubs from various types of stains that affect leaves and fruits. Its effectiveness has been proven by many gardeners.

When various spots appear on shrubs and black dots on overwintered shoots, they are usually treated urea. It removes spots and blackheads and promotes the active growth of the kidneys.
Bordeaux liquid- effectively fights many types of known fungal diseases of plants.

Before the opening of the buds, it is also possible to carry out thorough wetting of the branches to remove many insects that remained over the winter in the bark and attacked the tree at the first spring sun. Remember that when working with mixtures, you must adhere to elementary safety rules - wear a protective suit, mask and gloves.

How to process fruit trees and shrubs in early spring after bud break?

After bud break, the garden is best sprinkled 1% solution of Bordeaux mixture, because the kidneys have already become very sensitive and if you increase the concentration, then you can simply burn them. This liquid serves excellent protection plants from pests and will allow the kidneys to fully open.

It is best to use combined preparations, such as, for example, "Horus", which has proven itself and showed good results in the fight against various types of diseases of fruit trees and shrubs. It, in combination with other drugs, increases the resistance of trees to various types of pathogens by 2-3 times.

"Decis" fighting directly with various types insects, which appear in a huge number and trees cannot be saved without chemicals. Not always folk remedies you can stop the activity of pests, "Decis" will help you with this.

But remember, if you have different kind doubts, it is better to consult experienced gardeners before spraying, let them give their recommendations. Be sure that the result will not be long in coming, you will be able to protect all your plants from negative impacts harmful living organisms.

35 g of copper oxychloride per 10 liters of water is also a good remedy protection during this period. The same can be said about polychoma and polycarbacine. What to choose, look at your own discretion, they are all very effective if you follow the basic methods of application and dosages.

How to process fruit trees and shrubs in the spring after flowering?

Every person who has a plot with fruit trees and shrubs knows that there is a lot of work after winter. The main thing is to do everything on time.

Earlier we described the main periods of spring processing. After the flowering period, it is important not to miss the moment in order to have time to protect all plants from the invasion of various insects, which at this time are at the peak of their activity.

Carbamide, copper and iron sulfate for spraying trees in early spring: how to breed?

Carbamide is useful in that it is a means that kills pests and contributes to the enrichment of plants with a complex of substances necessary for their growth. The garden should be treated with such a solution in early spring until the trees begin to bud.

For a thorough spraying of all plants and the soil around them, enough Dilute 700 g of the substance in 10 liters of water. Having received everything they need, the plants slow down in growth and thus begin to bud later than usual. Therefore, they are not afraid of various weather surprises.

Copper sulfate is a very good antiseptic, it also helps to saturate with various beneficial substances and destruction of harmful microorganisms. But you need to work with it very carefully, it is often diluted with lime (then you get the well-known Bordeaux mixture, the concentration of two substances: 100:100).

If the tree has many wounds and is very sick, then add 50 g of the drug, after a while you will see that the wounds have begun to heal, and the tree has actively entered the phase of growth and bud formation.

Iron sulphate is different in that it must not be mixed with lime. Before the first leaves appear, treat the plants with this product in order to prevent the possibility of various fungal infections that can infect all plants.

To do this, take 300 g of the drug (3%) and pour 10 liters of water. If the branches are slightly darkened, this is a consequence of the action of the drug. If you carried out such processing in the fall, then in the spring it is unnecessary to do this, once is enough.

Foreword

In order to enjoy juicy healthy apples or other fruits in summer or autumn, it is necessary to start processing garden trees and shrubs from spring, to do sanitary pruning.

Pre-spring work in the garden

Now is the time to shake off the snow from the trees. It is wet, heavy and may well break branches. Nature wakes up after winter. Therefore, in early spring it is necessary to carry out a certain set of activities on the site.

Carefully inspect the branches of fruit trees for pests that have overwintered on them. Now is the time to think about pruning broken and dry branches, so take it with you. You can also form a crown of trees.

But the main work is still spraying trees. As soon as the average air temperature reaches + 5 ° C, and the buds have not yet had time to bloom, it is necessary to fight diseases and feed the trees.

Protecting trees from spring burns and pest control

In early spring, the weather is quite unstable. It can be high during the daytime and drop sharply at night. Under these conditions, the bark on the trees warms up unevenly. Suppose, on a warm March day, the temperature of the trunk in the sun will be 12 degrees more than on the shaded side. Lime whitewashing of the trunk helps to get rid of such a difference.

In this case, the readings will differ only within 3 or 5 degrees. Overheating of the bark followed by freezing can cause early spring burns. And they will lead to the death of the tree, especially if it is a young seedling. It is necessary to restore the whitewash if it was broken during the winter period.

When pruning garden trees in early spring, you need to get rid of damaged branches. They should not be left under a tree, because they are probably infected with: cytosporosis, scale insects, bark beetle larvae, black cancer or other pests and diseases.

Simultaneously with this work, it is required to treat existing wounds on trunks and branches. Damage is cleaned, leveled with a knife until living tissue appears, then disinfected with a 1% solution of copper sulfate, in a ratio of 10 g per 1 liter of water, and carefully cover this area with garden pitch.
How to spray trees in early spring

The modern industry offers gardeners many different products for spraying trees at the very beginning of spring. For these purposes, apply:

copper sulfate;
mineral oil emulsion;
Bordeaux liquid;
emulsion "Preparation-30";
nitrofen and others.

The cheapest drug is copper sulfate. But do not look at its low cost, it is quite effective, so most gardeners prefer it. It is used for scab, fruit rot, leaf curl, black cancer, brown leaf spot and other diseases.

Mineral oil emulsions are liquid mixtures of mineral oil with water and an emulsifier. The composition of the emulsifier usually contains:

soap;
glue or kaolin;
iron or copper sulfate.

Emulsions fight pests such as aphids, scale insects, help destroy the eggs of the codling moth, suckers and other insects. They should be applied in early spring, until the buds open. In summer, at temperatures over 35℃, the emulsion can cause severe burns on the tree.

Bordeaux liquid is an opaque sky-blue solution. Gardeners have been using this liquid for more than a hundred years in the fight against garden pests. It is recommended to use it until the buds open. The mixture destroys scab and fungal diseases of trees or shrubs. It is also used as a disinfectant for fruit tree wounds. It is not recommended to store it, it must be used immediately after preparation.

The emulsion "Preparat-30" is an oil-oil emulsion of white or light gray color. It is packaged in 2-liter jars and has a shelf life of 2 years. In the spring, all fruit and berry crops from wintering herds of scale insects can be treated with an emulsion, spider mites, leafworms, suckers, moths and other pests. And in the summer, spray trees and ornamental shrubs from tramps of the first and second generation of scale insects

Nitrofen is a drug against wintering stages of pests and diseases. This paste is brown in color, packaged in tin or glass jars or polymer bottles. The shelf life of nitrofen is 2 years. It behaves well as a disinfectant for wounds on fruit trees.

Treatment of trees with copper sulphate

Before spraying, it is first necessary to clean the trunk of lichens with a brush. When processing trees, you can use a hand pump; they are sold in special stores for the garden. But it is desirable to have an automated sprayer. It is much more convenient and easier to work with. For those gardeners who already have mature trees, you need to have one that can be lengthened different ways. Most likely, you will have to tie it to a stick so that you can even reach the very top branches or use special telescopic rods.

It is worth worrying about your own safety. Robe, gloves, headwear and goggles. These items will protect you from getting the solution on bare areas of your body. A respirator will not allow vapors of the solution to enter the upper respiratory tract.

Before processing begins, the solution must be stirred. This is done as follows: 100 g of copper sulfate is diluted in a bucket of water. AT cold water vitriol dissolves worse. Therefore, you can breed it at home in hot water, for example, in a three-liter jar, and then pour the contents into a bucket.

The solution must be poured into the sprayer through a funnel and several layers of gauze. Content filtering is a must. This is done so that the sprayer nozzle and hose cannot become clogged with undissolved particles. Now you should pump air into the balloon, hang it on your shoulder and go.

This article describes the process of treating trees with copper sulphate. But you can use any means that you like best or have already bought. Each package contains detailed instructions how to use it.

How to properly spray trees

Wood processing must be carried out carefully from all sides. The jet must be directed from the edge to its central part. It is best to do this alternately with each large branch. Only in this case it is possible to achieve the maximum effect.

Don't forget to spray the soil around the tree. If last year's leaves are still on it, they will rot much faster. Also, with the help of the solution, spores of harmful fungi or the pests themselves will be destroyed. The remaining solution can be used on nearby shrubs, vines or other plants.

After you process the trees, you must carefully rinse the machine with water. To do this, pour into the sprayer clean water and drive her away. In this case, the nozzles and hoses will not be clogged with the remaining dried particles of the solution. Change your clothes and be sure to wash your hands and face with soap.
