In early spring, the most important thing in the garden is to take timely measures against awakening pests, which sense the approach of warm weather better than people.
And while summer residents are just getting ready to visit their lands, insects are already leaving their shelters and starting to cause harm.
But there was such a wonderful opportunity to destroy all pests at once, including bacteria and fungi. To prevent this from happening, you need to know the procedure for treating the garden from pests and diseases.
Everything starts with an inspection, which is best done before the snow melts. Attention should be paid to tree trunks, bush shoots, etc. Before the buds swell, the berry bushes are doused with hot water (70-80 degrees Celsius).
All suspicious shoots are removed, burned, cracks and hollows are cleaned and treated, and sealed.
Before the sap starts to move, it is necessary to perform sanitary pruning. If necessary, formative or rejuvenating. All cut areas are treated with garden pitch.
Next, tidy up the trunk area, remove weeds and other debris. Now you can dig up or loosen the soil.
Whitewashing is done both in spring and autumn. In spring, the paint is renewed and compounds are used that protect against pests, infections and fungi, i.e. those that contain fungicides and other additives.
Before the buds swell, you need to spray. You need to focus on the air temperature, i.e. when the thermometer stays at 3-5 degrees Celsius during the day. This is the most important of all treatments in the current season, allowing you to prevent the spread of diseases and pests.
The most important thing in all this is not to miss the deadline, and then the harvest of berries and fruits at the end of the season will be guaranteed!
