Why plums rot when ripening: how to easily solve the problem
Instead of juicy and sweet fruits, your plum gives you rotten ones?
Most likely, the tree is suffering from a dangerous fungal disease called moniliosis.
Agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh explained how exactly plums become infected with this disease and what to do to normalize the situation.
According to the expert, there may be several reasons for the infection to attack.
Take note
Your plot is probably infested with a large number of pests. Parasites gnaw through the skin of plum fruits, thereby opening the way for diseases.
Also, make sure that the trees in your garden do not grow too close to each other. Otherwise, the air circulation between them will be disrupted, which will also provoke infections.
It is extremely important not to skip regular pruning, as in too dense crowns, moisture may occur - a sure companion for fungal diseases.
To stop your plum trees from suffering from moniliosis, spray them with fungicides. Such preventive treatment will only benefit them.
