Experienced gardeners remind us: in the fall, it is absolutely necessary to carry out eradication treatment - the harvest in the next season directly depends on it.

When can eradication treatment be avoided?

There is only one exception: if you are lucky enough to become the owner of a garden of healthy plants that produce a good harvest of fruits that are not damaged by rot or pests.

In this case, there is no need for additional treatments. However, the final decision always remains with the grower.

Do young seedlings need eradication treatment?

If we are talking about an old garden, the plants in which almost certainly suffer from scab, moniliosis, rot, burns and other diseases, there is no doubt - the gardener is simply obliged to deal with the destruction of pests and diseases.

What about a young garden made up of seedlings that have only recently been purchased?

If you think it doesn't need processing, you're wrong.

A wide variety of infections also occur in nurseries.

They may not appear sharply on young seedlings, but, nevertheless, be present on them.

The correct answer to the question posed above is: young plants also need treatment against diseases and pests, but the concentration of preparations in this case should be reduced.
