Gardeners and vegetable growers are accustomed to planning a list of tasks in their garden plots, checking the recommendations of the lunar calendar.
This science is mainly paid attention to during sowing and transplanting. As for pest control, it usually happens from time to time. And it turns out to be in vain.
As is known, the night light influences not only the ebb and flow of the tides, but also all life cycles occurring on our planet. In spring, this influence is most acute, as nature comes to life, and along with it, pests come to life.
Here's how to use the lunar influence to fight parasites.
Spring Pest Control
At an early stage, you will have to fight wintering insects. These are aphids and gall midges, scale insects and kidney moths, sawflies and other insects. Watering with hot water is effective against them, allowing you to destroy the clutch and cocoons, and at the same time the spores of fungal diseases.
It is carried out even if there is still snow and before the buds open in dry and windless weather.
Currant bushes (black and red), gooseberries, raspberries and other berry bushes are watered at a rate of 10 liters per bush.
The water temperature when processing raspberries should not be higher than 55-65 degrees Celsius, and for the rest within 60-80 degrees.
Processing in March
In the first month of spring, the fight against diseases and parasites should be carried out on the 1st-3rd, 13th, 15th, 16th, as well as the 24th, 26th, 27th, 29th and 30th.
