In early spring, along with the garden, harmful insects and diseases wake up from hibernation and become active.
If during this period you do not start working in the garden to treat it from sawflies, weevils, moths, aphids, codling moths and other insects, as well as from lichens, various infections and fungi, then it is unlikely that you can hope for at least some kind of harvest.
Treat garden trees with a special chemical solution that neutralizes pests and diseases.
Spray the garden in early spring, when frosts have passed and it becomes warm.
Processing of apple and pear trees
• Spray these trees with copper sulfate. To do this, dissolve 200 g of the product in 10 liters of water or take 300 g of Bordeaux mixture per 10 liters. With these products, the garden will be protected from fungal infections and lichen.
• Pour urea into the tree trunk circle, which will destroy harmful insects that have overwintered in the ground.
• Before the buds open, treat the apple and pear trees with iron sulfate. It will destroy the insects that remain to overwinter under the bark of the trees.
Processing of plums and cherry plums
Before flowering, treat stone fruit trees against aphids, mites, plum fruit moths, weevils, as well as against infection with clasterosporium, fruit rot and gummosis. To do this, use special store-bought preparations that should include copper.
This could be urea, copper sulfate or Bordeaux mixture.
Peach processing
Start treating the trees when the temperature is consistently warm. Use a copper-based fungicide to treat them. Spray the peach trees again in early April.
Processing of cherries and cherries
Stone fruit trees should also be sprayed in early spring with copper or iron sulfate or Bordeaux mixture.
