If cherry trees have blossomed on your plot, don’t waste time and treat the stone fruits against a dangerous disease – monilial burn.
If your trees have already finished blooming, then even at this time they can be treated against pests.
Reasons why cherry trees do not bloom
For gardeners, there is no worse disaster than when the cherry tree does not bloom. And the reasons can be different: from the lack of good weather to the lack of bees and pollinator varieties.
But the main reason is monilial burn.
What is the danger of monilial burn?
The fungal disease infects the cherry tree during flowering. The fungus penetrates the flower through the pistil, and only chemical treatments can save such a plant from the disease, since biological methods of combating this scourge have not yet been invented.
But there is one secret that will help protect plants from monilial burn.
Many cherries have an interesting feature: when the buds are still closed, but the pistil has already moved upward and catches foreign pollen.
Therefore, it is important to carry out the treatment during this period, when the cherry tree is just beginning to bloom.
Preparations for processing cherries
High-quality preparations for protecting cherries from disease are always available – and the choice is yours.
To treat cherries, we use the fungicide "Azofos" in a concentration of no more than 1%, and "Horus" and "Sillit" will also be effective against monilial burn.
Such preparations will protect the plant from fungal penetration, and treatment with them will be most beneficial if you follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
