The ideal solution for the garden: in March, gardeners treat all trees and bushes with this mixture

It is necessary to start treating fruit trees and shrubs against diseases as early as March.

Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist and landscape designer, tells us what means to use for this.

How to treat trees and bushes from diseases in March

The ideal option for early garden treatment is Bordeaux mixture. It is a universal, simple and reliable remedy.

Treatment with Bordeaux mixture will protect plants from scab, rust, mildew, fruit rot, spotting, powdery mildew, late blight, macrosporiosis, anthracnose, septoria, downy mildew and other diseases.

A one percent solution is used to treat relatively healthy plants.

In a non-metallic container, dissolve 100 grams of copper sulfate in a liter of hot water, add 4 liters of cold water.

In another non-metallic container, pour 100 grams of quicklime with a liter of cold water, then add another 4 liters.

Next, carefully pour the first solution into the second, stirring. The resulting mixture should be used on the same day.

For old and sick plants, a stronger solution is needed (300 grams of copper sulfate and 400 grams of lime).

A young tree needs 2-3 liters of solution, an adult tree needs 8-10 liters.

Earlier, the expert explained whether it is possible to water plants with melt water.
