Pest control measures should be taken as early as late winter - early spring.
First, you need to remove fallen branches, remnants of leaves and garbage from the area. After all, insects can hide there for the winter.
Next, when the days become warmer, you should prune to get rid of old, dry and diseased branches.
It is necessary to inspect the bark and remove the nests of pests. If we are talking about the codling moth, then it lays its light green eggs on the tree.
Trees should be treated with copper sulfate and nitrofen.
During the period when buds begin to form, treatment with Bordeaux mixture should be carried out.
A solution of 40 grams of malathion, 2 spoons of tar soap and 10 liters of water will be effective. This mixture should be used to treat the garden after flowering.
Summer residents recommend paying attention to biological preparations that help to cope with pests. In this case, "Fitoverm" will do. If the tree is heavily damaged, then "Lipidocide" can be used.
