Moniliosis is a fungal disease that can attack fruit trees.

The disease can destroy the tree, since, if we are talking about an apricot tree, after being affected by moniliosis, clasterosporium appears.

Therefore, it is very important to take measures in time to avoid problems and preserve plants that will eventually be able to give a bountiful harvest of tasty and healthy fruits.

But what exactly should be done?

As experts note, in the spring, when the buds swell, the trees should be treated with 1% Bordeaux mixture.

During the flowering period, it is advisable to treat the apricot with Horus or Silit.

After flowering has finished, you need to start fighting the holey spot (clasterosporium), which can actively appear on the leaves.

To solve this problem, you need to take broad-spectrum fungicides. For example, "Skor", "Delan", "Rayok", "Topaz" will do.

Experienced gardeners recommend carrying out 2-3 treatments per season to preserve the forming buds.
