In spring, the air temperature gradually rises, the snow melts and the garden slowly awakens.
However, along with the plants, pathogenic microorganisms and pests come to life.
Why is eradication treatment necessary?
Many areas of the garden plot eventually become a breeding ground for pathogens and pests. For example, pathogens overwinter directly on plants, fences or garden buildings.
Cracks, crevices, bark, lumps of dirt and other similar places are excellent places to keep pest eggs and pupae from the cold.
When optimal weather conditions are created, all this will come to life and will begin to cause a lot of trouble for the gardener. That is why summer residents practice eradicating spraying, designed to improve the situation on the site.
How to carry out eradication treatment
Usually, gardeners do not wait for the snow to melt completely. They carry out the procedure before the beginning of vegetation and swelling of the buds. During this period, all surfaces in the garden are sprayed.
For this purpose, preparations based on copper chlorate are used in a concentration of 0.5-0.8% or a mixture of 5% Bordeaux mixture with Fitoverm, which is introduced at a rate of 4 ml per 1 liter of solution.
