A good harvest of tasty and sweet fruits can be collected not only thanks to the dignity of the garden, but also due to the skillful treatment of trees from diseases and pests.
It is impossible to do without spraying fruit trees, because varieties that can independently withstand external adversity have not yet been bred.
For a good harvest, it is useful to carry out at least four treatments of the garden in the spring, said scientist agronomist, landscape designer, artist, art therapist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
First spraying of the garden
The treatment must be carried out before the buds begin to grow. This applies to the period from the end of March to the beginning of April.
They begin to spray the trees as soon as the air warms up to plus 5-7 degrees.
At this time, diseases gradually begin to become active and spores of rot, moniliosis and scab begin to grow actively.
At this time, it is necessary to use Bordeaux mixture, Horus or Skor, and iron sulfate.
Second spraying of the garden
It is carried out when the buds have burst, but there are no leaves on the trees yet. This condition is also called "green cone".
At this time, insecticides such as Iskra and Fufanon come to the rescue.
Third spraying of the garden
The procedure is carried out at the pink bud stage, when the inflorescence is ready to open, but has not burst.
Insecticides and biological preparations can be used.
Fourth spraying of the garden
It is better to carry out the event on the first ovaries, when the fruits are not yet bigger than a pea. At this time, the garden is treated for diseases.
