To the delight of many summer residents, spring is just around the corner, which means that very soon it will be time to treat the apple trees in the garden.

An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh reminds us that it is important not to miss the right moment to avoid problems with the garden in the future.

The first treatment of apple trees aimed at combating pathogens should be carried out in early spring, when the buds are still dormant.

At this point, it is necessary to spray the trees with a 3% solution of Bordeaux mixture.
