To protect currants from pests, it is not necessary to go to a specialized store and look for sophisticated preparations.

This trick was used by Soviet summer residents. They used the trick in the spring, and then did not worry that the currants could be attacked by pests.

In spring, not only plants awaken, but also various insects. They can harm the crops so much that the harvest in the summer will be very weak.

To avoid grabbing any pest control product that comes their way, smart summer residents act at the beginning of spring.

You just need to water the currants with “special” water during the period when they have not yet released leaves.

Around the end of March, experienced gardeners recommend scalding the bushes with boiling water. This action helps in the fight against awakening pests.

No additional treatments are needed if the plant is developing well and there are no visible signs of disease or insect damage. But it is important to do this before the currant begins to actively release leaves, otherwise you can harm the plant.
