Spring is the time of activity for all living nature, including pathogens and pests.
An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told what preparations should be used to prevent parasites from gnawing currant bushes.
The first group of drugs that have proven their effectiveness include copper-based products - Bordeaux mixture, azophos, copper sulfate and others.
They can be used before the currant buds open.
To treat young green mass, you can use systemic fungicides, for example, Topaz.
Acaricidal insecticides are also an excellent option for this case. Among them are "Aktara", "Fufanon" and others.
Finally, biological preparations such as Fitoverm or Botsiturin are also suitable for spring treatment of currants.
Please note: they require multiple applications, which means that treatments using them should be carried out when the leaves open and several more times, maintaining an interval of one week between treatments.
