As the saying goes, if you love to sled down a hill, you must love to pull a sled, or, to paraphrase a well-known proverb, if you love to eat sweet berries, you must love to work on raspberries.
BelNovosti online publication expert, agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh answered a popular question: what kind of care does a bush need in November so that there will be a lot of raspberries next season.
Diseases
The last month of autumn is the best time to treat raspberries against all kinds of diseases.
For example, you can get rid of diseases of a fungal nature using a 1% solution of Bordeaux mixture.
Pests
Another misfortune that lies in wait for the owner of raspberries is insects that harm them with their presence.
The gardener will have to fight spider mites, weevils, raspberry beetles, moths and raspberry gall midges - and this is only a small part of the parasites that are just waiting to pounce on the plant.
To get rid of the listed pests, you will have to stock up on special preparations, for example, a 0.3% solution of chlorophos, malathion, "Prophylactin", etc.
