You can count on a high yield only if you take care of the garden properly. Therefore, owners who are aware of this process the garden every year. The success of this event depends on the quality of its implementation in spring... After all, it is at this moment that it is decided whether the plantings will be well protected from pests and diseases.
When the spring warmth begins to be felt in the air, many have a desire to be closer to nature. At these moments, the soul wants to enjoy the variety of colors that various plantings in summer cottages give us. And in order to bring this moment closer, gardeners are trying to more carefully prepare the garden before the start of fruiting.
To determine the amount of work to be done, first of all need to see the garden... Based on its results, it will be clear what will have to be done. After a long and cold winter a lot of damaged branches are bound to appear, which must be removed. However, only this spring processing the garden is not limited, because it also includes a lot of other important activities that are designed to protect the plantings from pests and diseases.
Why and when is it best to process the garden?
To reduce the harm that diseases and pests can bring, many summer residents use chemical and organic methods to combat them. However, the end result is largely determined by the gardener's experience. This in turn determines what the crop will be like at the end of the season. The effectiveness of all planned activities can only be improved if they are carried out at the right time. Therefore, as soon as the last cold weather has passed and fruit ovaries begin to form on the trees, you need to immediately start working.
Stages of garden processing in spring
If you trust the experience of sophisticated summer residents, then it is better to process the garden before 10 o'clock or after sunset- after about 6 hours. This choice is not accidental, since it is during these hours that the activity of the sun is minimal, and therefore the risk of burns by leaves is extremely low. Within the framework of the spring processing of the garden, the following main stages can be distinguished:
- in early spring;
- before bud break;
- before and after flowering;
- during the formation of ovaries.
Spraying the garden in early spring
One of the traditional gardening activities is whitewashing tree trunks. However, it is better to carry it out before the cold weather. Therefore, it is recommended to plan it in the fall. As a result of this operation, you can protect trees from rodent damage, therefore, the remaining intact bark will not crack as a result of the impact of the frosty wind. In the spring, it will only be necessary to examine it in order to understand whether it has endured the winter well, and to correct it if the need arises.
The first processing of the garden must be carried out in the first of March, while the buds have not yet begun to bloom. After waiting for the snow to melt, you can prepare the plantings for processing. To do this, put in order the territory suburban area, remove insulation from protected boles, as well as branches that have not survived the winter. After that, spring treatment is carried out to protect trees and shrubs from insects.
At the initial stage, it is necessary to inspect the tree trunks and remove the detected fungi from the surface. After that on the bark inflict mortar ... The cooking process will look like this:
- you need to take 2 kg of lime and mix it with 10 liters of water;
- then you need to add 1 kg of clay and 330-350 g to this mixture copper sulfate;
- all components must be thoroughly mixed until smooth;
- the solution is now ready and can be worn on the trunks and base of the branches.
As a result of such treatment, eggs and larvae of insects, which can often be found on the bark and cracks of the trunk, will be removed.
However, today, gardeners have access to more modern and effective drugs... Although they cost a little more, they can be used to process trees much faster and with less labor, preventing insects from planting. great harm... Many of them contain a fungicide that increases plant resistance to many diseases. Similar properties are possessed by the following means:
- acrylic whitewash;
- acrylic paints;
- lime pastes containing copper sulfate.
Not only copper sulfate, but also diesel fuel can help protect trees and shrubs from pests. After processing the plantings, a protective oily film will appear on them, which can protect trees and shrubs from annoying insects. If insects try to lay larvae and eggs on trunks and branches, they will die under a ball of diesel fuel. At the same time, all open peduncles and blossoming leaves will remain safe and sound.
Spring gardening before bud break
Next comes the next stage - treatment fruit trees
before the kidneys awaken. The main goal of these activities is to prevent insects that hatch from the larvae, as well as pathogens of various diseases, from infecting trees and shrubs. The greatest harm to the garden can be caused by such diseases as: scab, black cancer, coccomycosis, etc.
However, regardless of whether you intend to use copper sulfate or another modern drug, it is recommended to read the instructions for use before using it. The fact is that in stores there are drugs that were originally designed to process only certain types fruit trees. In order for such a treatment to meet your expectations, you can carry it out with a solution of insecticides and contact fungicides. The effectiveness of this measure will increase many times over, since it will help not only to rid the planting of pests and diseases, but also to prevent their occurrence in the future.
If you want to minimize harm, which will help you get your plantings as a result chemical treatment, you can use a safer mixture prepared based on herbs, tobacco and orange peel... The process of its preparation is as follows:
- a 3-liter can is taken and filled with 200 g of shredded tobacco;
- then you need to put a handful of garlic husks there and the same amount of onions, pine needles and orange peels;
- after that, water heated to 70 degrees is poured into this mixture;
- the jar needs to be hermetically sealed and find a warm place for it where it should stand for a week;
- when the time comes, the finished tincture must be diluted with warm water in an amount of 10 liters;
- then the composition must be thoroughly mixed and added in small parts 100 g of crushed tar soap;
- the product is now ready and can be used to treat the garden. If necessary, it can be repeated after 10-12 days. However, this can only be done before flowering.
Treating the garden in spring before and during the flowering process
It is possible to process shrub trees until the buds begin to bloom. This will help not only prevent them from being harmed by the caterpillars of the apple moth, but also reduce the risk of scab and mottling... To prepare the solution, you can use "Carbofox". To do this, take 70 g of the drug and dilute in 10 liters of water. room temperature... However, if the trees and shrubs have already begun to bloom, then it is impossible to engage in such processing.
Re-processing of fruit trees can be carried out at the end of the flowering period. It is necessary to reduce the likelihood of infection of trees and shrubs in the next season, as well as increase plant resistance to diseases.
Usually, the inflorescences bloom at the moment when ticks appear that have successfully survived the winter. Dealing with them can help colloidal sulfur: to prepare the solution, you need to take 80 grams of 70% of the drug and dilute in 10 liters of soapy water. It is very important that this treatment is carried out in a timely manner, otherwise, as a result of the infestation of ticks, all your crops will be affected.
Spring treatment of the garden from pests and diseases during the appearance of ovaries
During the final stage of spring processing, the main task that must be solved is to ensure the protection of the fruits of the new crop from putrefactive diseases and pests that have managed to survive. However, first it is recommended to inspect the plantings to determine if there are visible enemies on the trees and shrubs. After all, if you use chemicals that have a strong effect, then in addition to the destruction of insects, you can cause significant harm to the ovaries.
As a preparation for spraying fruit trees, the choice can be stopped at copper oxychloride, Bordeaux liquid, urea... It is also allowed to use combined preparations that have a universal scope of application. However, it is necessary to carry out processing when optimum humidity air. Otherwise, there is a possibility that after spraying the leaves will receive serious burns.
Spring gardening does not imply strict rules for its implementation. However, there is important nuances, taking into account which you can most effectively do this work.
Spraying procedure... If you want to completely destroy pests and diseases, then you should treat every part of trees and bushes with a working solution, for example, copper sulfate. Usually this work begins with the crown, then they move on to the branches, and in the end they process the trunk and soil in the root zone.
Time and conditions of work... It is best to do spring gardening in the early morning. It is advisable to choose a dry, windless day for this work, during which precipitation is not expected. In this case, after processing, the solution will be able to be absorbed immediately and will act quickly. As a result, you will be sure that the leaves and inflorescences will not be damaged.
Calculation of the amount of solution... Spring gardening results may vary. If it is important for you not only to destroy pests and diseases, but also not to harm trees and shrubs, then you need to correctly determine the consumption rate of the drug. You can find out if you look at the instructions for a particular tool. Knowing this, it will be easy for you to understand exactly how many chemicals you need.
- it takes about 1.5 liters of solution to process one young tree;
- for an adult - 5.5 liters.
For spraying bushes, a different amount of solution may be required - from 0.6 to 1.5 liters. More precisely, you can say how much liquid is required, knowing the dimensions of the crown.
Conclusion
Experienced gardeners know how to get good harvest... To do this, they regularly cultivate the garden. Moreover, they begin to deal with this business in the spring. The importance of this event is difficult to overestimate, because it directly depends on how well trees and shrubs will be protected from pests and diseases. Knowing what kind of drugs and when it is better to use, even a novice summer resident can count on the fact that at the end of the season the garden will endow him with many tasty and healthy fruits.
Spring is an amazing time of the year. It's time for romantic dreams, renewal of nature, hopes for the best. And for summer residents and gardeners, this is a very important period. As soon as the snow comes off the ground, they already have a lot of trouble. The very first thing is to bypass the territory after wintering. Before starting any work in the garden, it is necessary to carefully inspect all trees and shrubs.
It is recommended to do this even before the snow cover melts. Because, on the white soft flooring, you can easily get to any corner of the hacienda - the dirt does not stick, the puddles did not have time to form. During the inspection, you should get rid of all that is superfluous: pest nests, exfoliated bark, fruits that have dried up in the fall.
What and why to spray the garden?
Pick a fine spring day and dedicate it to spraying. This process can be compared to a hygiene ritual that a person performs every morning. Imagine trees waking up from a long hibernation. Of course, after sleep you need to wash, comb your hair, brush your teeth. Likewise, your garden needs a simple but important procedure.
It can be argued that the spring treatment of the garden from pests is the first step to obtaining a generous harvest. This is a groundwork for the future. Experienced summer residents spray absolutely all trees and bushes on their plots without exception. You need to choose the right time when the buds are already swollen, but have not yet exploded on the branches with sticky leaves.
It is optimal to apply the treatment early in the morning or at sunset to avoid exposure to the first timid rays of the sun. Modern gardeners have wide choose means for spraying. Which drugs to give preference to is, as they say, a matter of taste. Chemicals can be used.
Their main advantage is their instant form and convenient packaging. Combined funds act on several types at once garden pests, therefore, it is enough to irrigate the trees with the prepared solution only once. If you are a fan of natural products, then use bio-products, which contain only organic components and no chemistry.
Small but dangerous pests
With the first rays of the sun, sap begins to flow in the trunks of trees, greenery begins to break through from the ground. Pests are not asleep either. Thousands of insects rush to the opening buds in search of tidbits. These tiny creatures can cause significant damage to fruit and ornamental trees.
You need to know the enemy and his addictions by sight! To know how to treat the garden in spring, you need to get to know and look into the microscopic eyes of insidious pests. Goose, apple flower beetle and beetle - this trinity is called weevil beetles.
They pierce the buds that have not yet opened with their proboscis, as if with spears. The damaged kidney no longer blooms, dries up and dies. Researchers have come to a terrifying conclusion: only two dozen geese can completely destroy future harvest one mature fruit tree, such as a plum.
Cherry trees are targeted by cherry moth caterpillars. Having made its way to the tree, the pest damages the bud, then proceeds to spoil the buds, and may even "dig in" inside the young shoot.
Shrubs also have a lot of small enemies. Currants and gooseberries attract aphid larvae, females spider mites, caterpillars of the currant kidney moth. These insects actively reproduce, berry bushes suffer greatly from their bites invisible to the human eye.
V last years gardeners note, without exaggeration, the invasion of pests on apple trees. Red apple and brown ticks literally stick around the branches and attack the buds with voracious colonies. After such "meals" unopened kidneys acquire a bright red hue and deteriorate.
There are also such pests that attack the already formed buds. Lush bloom fruit trees can be spoiled by the fruit sawfly, which is often mistaken for a young wasp. The female of this insidious insect lays eggs in a flower ovary. And after a few days, the larva gnaws a tunnel in the future fruit directly to the seed chamber. As a result, the fetus freezes in development and falls off.
Varieties of spraying agents
While in your calendar garden work there is not much to do yet, set aside the day for such an important item as treating the garden from pests in the spring. Think in advance which tool you will use. I bring to your attention a few of the most acceptable and proven options for many years.
The most "budgetary" and popular tool. Not a single generation of summer residents successfully grows generous crops with its help. A solution of copper sulfate is prepared simply: 100 g of vice must be diluted in a 10-liter bucket of water. It fights pests and diseases fruit trees(cytosporosis, scab, fruit rot, black cancer, etc.).
An excellent remedy for pest control that hibernated in tree bark. Spring treatment of the garden from ticks must necessarily include a procedure for spraying with colloidal sulfur. You can use an analogue with the industrial name "Neoron".
If the tree has already entered the vegetative period, then you can use Bordeaux mixture 1% or a preparation called "Abiga-Peak". These remedies are good for garden dwellers with different terms of spring awakening of buds.
This is the favorite method of experienced gardeners. For spraying, dilute 0.5 kg of urea in 10 liters of water. The solution that goes into the soil will fertilize it throughout the summer.
It should be emphasized that trees should only be treated with a freshly prepared preparation. Prepare the solution once and do not store it until the next procedure.
Spraying attachments
Trees and shrubs are treated with a sprayer, you can also use hand pump... For tall tree it is necessary to lengthen the hose so that the solution will surely hit even the crown of the crown. The product should fall in droplets.
To achieve this effect, keep the spray tip at least half a meter from the tree, ideally 70 cm. The stores offer a wide range of tools for spring garden pest control.
Among the variety of configurations and capacities, select the equipment with which you will be comfortable working. Some of the summer residents prefer the proven "old-fashioned" methods - ordinary sprayers, and someone follows the new ones and prefers modern developments (for example, a telescopic boom).
Don't forget about protective equipment. When spraying in the garden, wear a respirator or at least a gauze bandage (available from the pharmacy), rubber gloves, a hat, and goggles. Taking care of the health of trees and shrubs, do not neglect personal safety measures!
1. It is necessary to spray the tree in the direction from the crown to the trunk, starting from the upper branches.
2. After the branches have been processed, thoroughly spray the trunk and the soil under the tree.
3. The first treatment of the garden from pests in the spring is carried out strictly before bud break. Most often, Bordeaux liquid or copper sulfate is used for this procedure.

For spring spraying use a low concentration of urea in water. Treatment of the soil with a solution of urea in the fall is carried out at a time when the plant has already thrown off most of the crown, this will prevent the development of fungi in the soil in spring and is an excellent top dressing for the tree.
It is necessary to use urea with caution, excessive concentration can cause burns to the foliage and death of the tree.
- inkstone. Unlike copper sulfate, iron sulfate assumes not only effective protection against pests of fruit trees and shrubs, but also enriches the plant with iron necessary for normal vegetation. This is especially important when caring for apple orchards, for which iron deficiency can lead to a low and poor quality harvest.
Processing the bark and branches of trees will prevent the development of aphids and scab on plants, active active ingredients destroy the larvae of fruit pests.
- Oily products. Most often, gardeners use diesel fuel to process fruit trees and shrubs, which is used for spraying in spring and autumn.
Excessive concentration of diesel fuel can lead to the death of plants. It is used to inhibit rotting processes on old and diseased trees.
- Specimen for examination 30. This product is used to treat apples, plums and pears in early spring and late autumn. The drug covers the bark of the plant with a film that prevents oxygen from entering under it, its absence leads to the rapid death of eggs and larvae of pests.
- BOTTOM TO... The drug has combined properties, kills all types of fungi, allows you to get rid of eggs and larvae of pests of fruit trees.
The manufacturers of the product claim that the drug quickly decomposes to safe substances in the soil, but its danger lies in the fact that the active substances can penetrate the human body through the skin.
Due to the high cost and danger, the tool is used by large horticultural organizations in areas remote from residential ones.The products recommended for the treatment of fruit trees and shrubs should be applied at the indicated concentration, but do not forget that use for spraying modern means will allow several times to save the consumption of drugs.
A well-treated plant should be moderately moistened over the entire surface, while the preparation should be avoided, this indicates excessive irrigation.
Most gardeners use improvised means to process fruit trees, but for high-quality spraying, it is necessary to use a spraying apparatus.Spraying machines
The essence of the apparatus is to build up pressure inside the balloon with the drug and irrigate it fruit plants and shrubs. The supply of liquid under pressure can significantly reduce the cost of funds and efficiently process the entire area of the tree. Processing from special devices reduces the time for spraying, which minimizes human contact with aggressive substances.
There are several types of spray equipment:
- Manual. The cheapest. For work, a person needs to manually pressurize the device.
- Mechanical. The cultivation of large horticultural lands is impossible without automatic models... For work, a person needs to fill the tank with the necessary substance and spray, the device itself controls the pressure in the cylinder, which significantly reduces the processing time and physical costs.
Secrets of processing fruit plants in spring
- The first processing of fruit plants should be carried out before the beginning of the growing season.
- When using Bordeaux liquid, it is recommended to add a solution of laundry soap to it. The soapy film will allow the preparation to adhere to the surface of the bark and prevent it from being washed off in the rain.
- Use inkstone needed in different concentrations for all plants. Young trees and plants with thin bark should be treated with a low concentration of the product.
- Do not confuse iron sulfate with copper and mix it with slaked lime.
- Spraying must be carried out not only on the surface of trees, but also on the soil around them. The approximate processing radius is equal to the radius of the tree crown.
Everyone who is engaged in gardening dreams of a beautiful fragrant garden and a rich harvest. To achieve this result, regular maintenance of fruit trees is necessary. Spraying fruit trees in the spring is an essential procedure in order to harvest quality fruits in the fall. Each processing and each type of wood needs its own methods and terms.
The order of processing trees in spring
Spring spraying of fruit trees includes three general treatments:
- The first is carried out in early spring before bud break. First, the area around the tree is cleared of last year's remnants: fallen and decayed foliage, dry branches. Then the trunk is whitewashed (slaked lime, PVA and insecticides). This will protect against sunburn and destroy pests
- The next step is to spray the garden with copper sulfate. Spraying trees with vitriol will get rid of the appearance of harmful insects such as honey beetles, flower beetles and weevils. The solution is made in the ratio of 100 g of the drug to 10 liters of water. The water should be warm, but not hot. If there is Bordeaux liquid, then spraying with a mixture of it (600 g) and copper sulfate (300 g) on a bucket of water will become effective. This procedure will also protect against fungal diseases and saturate plants with copper.
The same result will give a mixture of vitriol (50 g) and urea (700 g). It is diluted with 10 liters of water and is a fertilizer for such tree varieties as pear, apricot, quince, apple, cherry,. An excellent disinfectant will be for shrubs: gooseberries. The calculation is taken as follows: for 10 sq. m three liters of the mixture.
The second composition of the solution and treatment with it will relieve the appearance of ticks, pollen, weevils and other insects living in winter time under tree bark... For him, we take diesel fuel for 9 parts of water and 72% laundry soap... Diesel oil is needed one part more than water, and soap is enough for one part grated.
If insects still chose some trees, then spraying with this composition is carried out a week later, until the pests completely disappear.
Spraying fruit trees in the spring will prevent disease and pest insects for a good fall harvest. Most drugs are toxic, therefore, when carrying out preventive measures in the garden, it is worth remembering about safety measures.
Using various drugs for spraying fruit trees in spring, their temporary effect must be taken into account. Depending on the composition, the action of most of them ends 10-14 days after treatment. Combined mixtures are considered to be of the highest quality.
Folk recipes for spraying fruit trees
Bordeaux liquid
Its use helps protect trees from diseases such as scab, rot, leaf curl, moniliosis, spotted lesions and rust. After treatment with this agent, the number of fruits increases and the growth of leaves is stimulated.
In the spring, a 1% solution is used. For its preparation, take 100 grams of quicklime and dilute with water in the amount of 5 liters. The capacity for this is taken twice as much. In the second bucket, 100 g of copper sulfate is mixed with hot water(to avoid a reaction with iron, the dishes are taken from glass or plastic). Pour the resulting mixture of vitriol into lime (but not vice versa). Mix everything and immediately start processing, since the shelf life of this liquid is no more than six hours.
Copper sulfate
Spraying fruit trees with a 1% solution helps prevent drying, scab, leaf curl, spotted diseases on apple, cherry, pear, peach, plum, quince, sweet cherry, apricot, cherry and some types of shrubs. The proportions of the solution depend on the age of the tree.
In the fight against mold and disinfection of the earth, a 3% solution is used, for the prevention, treatment of wounds and getting rid of fungal diseases, 0.5% is used, and a 0.2% solution is used as a top dressing and fertilizer. The last two options are suitable for treating trees in early spring.
Colloidal sulfur
Kills fungal diseases and prevents the appearance of ticks. When using this drug, it is worth remembering that it cannot be used simultaneously with other products containing pesticides, mineral oils or phosphorus compounds. Since it is a potent substance, special protective measures must be used when working with it.
For processing, sulfur powder is diluted with plain water to a creamy mass. After that, it adds required amount water to obtain the required dose of solutions. It is worth remembering that the use of other drugs is permissible after 15 days.
The most common preparations for spraying fruit trees
Nitrofen
It is used for the prevention of spotted diseases, prevents the growth of mosses and lichens, relieves of sucking and gnawing insects. Perfectly fights against weeds near trees, such as wood lice, rape and the like. The drugs Double Impact and DNOC will serve as a substitute for it.
For a solution for fruit trees, 200 g of nitrophene is taken per 10-liter bucket of water; to disinfect the soil with the same amount of water 300 g. One adult tree requires 30 liters of this preparation.
Double punch
The drug Double Impact for spraying trees is used to protect against fungal-type diseases and protects against the appearance of pests. This drug among gardeners is famous for its long-term effect and high level plant protection.
To use this drug correctly, you need to know the dosage: here 30 g of the mixture is designed for 10 liters of water. Ideal option it is considered both for tree care in early spring and autumn.
Decis
One of the most popular root pest control products. Destroys both larvae and small insects, as well as adults. Fights well with moths, potato moth and a fly. It is harmless to humans and animals. Ideal for spraying fruit trees such as pear, cherry, apple or peach.
Horus
It has proven itself well as a preventive measure against fungal diseases. Kills infected cells that appeared in the winter. Affects only young plants, not recommended for older trees. Distinctive feature is its effectiveness when used in cool weather, since most products are used, on the contrary, in dry weather.
Speed
Copes with most types of diseases. It is applied before the appearance of infected spores. If there are any, then there will be no effect after using it. It is not recommended to carry out more than three treatments soon, otherwise the opposite result will occur (for example, it will appear). Protection lasts about a week.
More information on spring spraying
All preparations for spraying fruit trees contain pesticides, therefore, when using any of them, safety measures should be observed.
Several recipes for homemade pests that are not sold in stores:
To get a good harvest, you need to take care of the trees from early spring and it is not recommended to delay it with the timing. This is the most favorable time for the development of diseases in plants and the laying of larvae by insects. To prevent this on your site, use the described recommendations. Observing all these rules, in the fall you will certainly be rewarded with numerous healthy fruits.

On how to properly process trees on the site, in the framework of the following video:
At this time, it is easiest for a gardener to create conditions on the site that are unacceptable for their development. In addition, some preparations are best used before bud break, as they can burn the leaves. During the flowering period, do not use agents that can scare away beneficial insects or become poison to them.
It remains to state that the spring treatment of the garden from pests and diseases is a whole range of measures for caring for the crops growing in it. What it consists of will be described below.
When to carry out spring garden processing
Spring processing of the site from pests and diseases is carried out in several stages associated with the development of plants, and not tied to specific dates, since in different regions of the country the awakening of trees begins at different times:
Some gardeners also process plantings during the appearance of fruit ovaries, but this is quite risky and undesirable, therefore, this point will not be considered in this article.
Preparatory work before spring processing of trees and shrubs
Before treating trees and shrubs in early spring, it is necessary to carry out some preparatory work... First, you need to bypass your property and remove old fruits and existing pest nests. Old tree branches should be cut off. They are the ones good place for wintering and breeding of pests and diseases. We carry the branches outside the garden and burn them. A hot shower is used for shrubs. To do this, the water is heated to 70 degrees and poured onto the plants. This method helps to get rid of many pests and their larvae that hibernate on shrubs. It is necessary to carry out this procedure before the start of the movement of the juices, so as not to harm the plants. How to treat trees and shrubs in early spring without chemicals? Many experienced gardeners advise to spray garden plantings with a solution of sodium chloride. That's about 150 grams of salt per 10 liters of water. Dig in trees and shrubs a few days before the first spraying. We also cut off unnecessary shoots and branches.
How to spray trees and shrubs
First, prepare:
- pump or compressor;
- respirator or mask;
- glasses;
- gloves are better than rubber;
- drugs.
Spraying is more effective if the entire garden is sprayed at once. If you need to get rid of an ailment or insects 1-2 plants, it is still worth sprinkling its neighbors, and trunk circles so that the attack does not spread further. Examine trees and bushes carefully before work. If there is moss or lichen, remove it with a wire brush.
Treatment of trees and shrubs before and during flowering
The processing of trees in the garden in the spring before flowering is carried out in order to combat the moth. Just during the formation of buds, the plants are attacked by caterpillars. This event is especially important for apple plantations. Also, seed crops are sprayed against scab and spotting.
Treatment stone fruit trees in the spring during the flowering period, this is primarily spraying against coccomycosis, moniliosis and clasteosporia. Despite the fact that such an event was carried out earlier, it must be repeated now to increase immunity to diseases. Also, flowering coincides with the time the ticks leave wintering. That's why experienced gardeners trees and shrubs are processed in spring special means against this type of insect. If you miss the moment, mites will fill the entire garden, which will subsequently negatively affect the health of each plant - it will not be easy to exterminate pests.

You can spray yourself, but if you do not have enough time for the garden, use the services of professional gardeners. We will be happy to take care of your plantings!
Chemicals for treating the garden in spring
Pest repellents affect the trunk, branches and crown, destroying insects and leaving a semblance on the surface protective film... Use pesticides carefully - select the type of mixture and dosage, taking into account the degree of exposure to a particular pest. Work during the season when the population is most vulnerable, namely in early spring.
How to spray berry bushes in spring
For processing berry bushes before flowering, actellic is used (15 ml per 10 l of water). Raspberries from anthracnose, purple spot are sprayed with 1% Bordeaux liquid or abiga-peak. Actinidia, Chinese magnolia vine, honeysuckle before flowering and immediately after it are treated with Abiga-peak or 1% Bordeaux mixture. During the entire growing season, cut and burn ugly, underdeveloped, shrinking shoots of currants, gooseberries, inhabited by currant glass. In raspberries, cut out wilting stems, with thickenings, damaged by raspberry gall midge, stem raspberry fly and sick with anthracnose and purple spot.
Folk remedies for spring garden processing
Folk remedies are more often used for repeated spraying in order to consolidate the result. chemicals, but not harm the plants. Also folk recipes useful for processing trees with the establishment of hot weather.
The most popular are garlic and tobacco infusions, the pungent smell of which repels pests, and antiseptic components prevent diseases.
- Garlic infusion - ten liters of infusion will require 500 g of garlic. Garlic is finely chopped and diluted in three liters of water, filtered, soaked again and squeezed. The liquid obtained for the first and second time is poured into one container and brought to a volume of 10 liters.
- Tobacco infusion is effective against aphid attacks. Tobacco trimmings, shag or smoking tobacco are poured in a ratio of 1:10. The solution is insisted for a day, filtered, by adding pure water double the volume. Before spraying, add 40 g of laundry or toilet soap for every 10 liters of infusion.
- Infusion of coniferous needles. 2.5 kg of needles of any conifers pour 10 liters of water, stirring from time to time, leave for a week, strain, add another 20 liters of water and spray.
After completing the whole complex of processing, you can extend the life of trees and shrubs and achieve a good harvest. But it must be remembered that processing should be done only with a newly prepared preparation.
