You burned the leaves

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.
