Every summer resident dreams of getting a healthy and large harvest on his plot.

But when harvesting, you may notice problems that the gardener had not previously suspected.

It happens that there are no traces of pests on the fruits, but the pulp is still soaked with gum, and droplets have appeared on the surface. This indicates that the plant has been infected with a virus.

The disease itself is spread by pests, often aphids. Sometimes you can even buy an already infected seedling.

This is why preventive work in the garden is important.

It is necessary to periodically check fruit trees for infections and pests in order to begin to combat the problem in time.

If this is not done, the virus can spread and infect other fruit trees.

As experienced gardeners note, it is simply impossible to cure an infected tree in the garden.
