If you notice yellowed leaves on your apple tree, it is better not to ignore this signal.
Some reasons may require intervention from the summer resident.
As a rule, there are five reasons why fruit tree leaves turn yellow, says agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
What could be the cause of the problem?
You burned the leaves
In hot weather, many people try to water all crops more often. It is extremely important not to touch the leaves, otherwise they will get a real burn.
It is easy to fix the situation. Take 250 ml of mullein per bucket of water and water the fruit tree.
Hot weather
Sometimes the leaves turn yellow simply because the weather has been hot for a long time. If you notice that the air temperature is too high, water the apple tree every 72 hours.
This will help protect the crop from the negative effects of the sun.
Pests
Most often, the deterioration of the appearance of foliage is associated with the appearance of moles on the site. Inspect the garden. If you notice specific hills, then you need to think over a plan to combat animals.
Active use of herbicides
Too strong means are often used to combat diseases. Therefore, try not to touch the leaves during treatment.
It is also worth paying attention to gentle processing methods.
Too much watering
If the weather is normal, you should not water the apple tree more than once every seven days. More active watering can negatively affect the health of the apple tree.
