To the delight of many summer residents, spring is just around the corner, which means that very soon it will be time to treat the apple trees in the garden.
An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh reminds us that it is important not to miss the right moment to avoid problems with the garden in the future.
The first treatment of apple trees aimed at combating pathogens should be carried out in early spring, when the buds are still dormant.
At this point, it is necessary to spray the trees with a 3% solution of Bordeaux mixture.
If you used this preparation in your garden in the fall, in the spring you should spray the apple tree with a 3% solution of ferrous sulfate.
It is important to alternate medications.
The second treatment against fungal diseases should be carried out on the pink cone.
This time, to avoid burning young green leaves, you will need a 1% solution of copper sulfate (alternatively, it is possible to use other preparations).
Earlier we listed the mistakes that will destroy seedlings at the root.
