Not all summer residents pay timely attention to the condition of cherry leaves, which leads to not the most pleasant consequences.
If, for example, you notice leaves that have turned yellow prematurely, this means that the crop has become susceptible to disease.
What disease does this symptom indicate?
In most cases, we are talking about a fungal disease that begins to actively develop at the very beginning of the season. Landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", believes that the appearance of coccomycosis is much easier to prevent than to cure.
If you follow all the prescribed care rules, then the cherry tree will not be affected by this disease.
How to protect a tree from fungal disease
First of all, it is important to monitor whether red or brown spots appear on the leaves: this indicates that cooccomycosis has already begun to develop.
It is important to combat weeds in a timely manner, carry out pruning procedures and not forget about mulching.
If at least one tree is sick, then you need to collect fallen leaves as soon as possible and burn them.
Copper sulphate-based treatment is also a very effective preventative measure.
