Black spots on apples: 3 reasons for their appearance and how to combat them
Apple trees are the most popular fruit trees in the gardens of most summer residents.
But not everyone can get excellent and appetizing apples. It still happens that black spots appear on the fruits, which spoil the appearance of the harvest.
In this case, every gardener who dreams of surprising his neighbors with a harvest will definitely have a question about why such a problem appears.
The first reason is a violation of the water balance. Therefore, it is very important to moisten the soil around the trunk before processing. If the dry weather lasts for a long time, then watering is a must. Do not forget about fertilizing. A deficiency of some elements also causes a problem.
Insect contamination is also a cause of such trouble. After all, some of them like to eat such fruits.
This means that preventative treatments should be carried out in the garden to prevent the appearance of pests.
In addition, gardeners claim that the reason for the appearance of dots is the presence of sugar in the fruits. This element absorbs moisture.
Therefore, before cutting the fruit, it is better to peel it and remove the core. The latter, by the way, may also contain small insects.
