Substances for garden treatment

Gardening shops currently offer a wide variety of drugs for processing trees in spring. There are not so many most popular tools, so they are presented below:

• The most commonly used substance for spraying gardens in spring is copper sulfate. This fungicide is excellent at destroying scab, powdery mildew, spotting, and also putrefactive diseases. It can be used all year round regardless of weather conditions. So that the action of vitriol in the fight against harmful insects and diseases was more effective, you can add slaked lime to it in a ratio of fifty to fifty. The mixture ends up with a nice bluish color. It is also called Bordeaux liquid or mixture.
• If they grow in the garden apple trees, plums or cherries, then it is worth spraying garden trees with iron sulfate. This fungicide acts similarly to copper sulfate, but its additional function is to saturate plants with iron, since this element takes part in numerous oxidative processes. Such spraying will become not only a procedure to combat insects and diseases, but also a foliar top dressing for trees. This fungicide is not recommended to be applied more than twice in one season.
• DNOC is usually sprayed on trees on farms, since this drug is considered quite toxic. It undergoes decomposition processes in the ground rather quickly, but still it is not worth using it near houses. DNOC helps to fight coccomycosis, scab, spots, very well destroys eggs of aphids, scale insects, copperheads, ticks. When working with this drug, observe the utmost care, since, if it gets on the skin and penetrates through it, it can cause intoxication of the body.
• In the spring, trees are sprayed with urea for several reasons. First, the substance actively fights against a large number of plant diseases, namely scab, coccomycosis, moniliosis, and putrefactive diseases. The second - this tool well destroys the eggs of various harmful insects. Third, the plants are saturated with nitrogen, as a result of which vegetative processes are activated. Urea is an excellent nitrogenous foliar feeding.
• Recent years have become years of increasing popularity biologics for spraying.Their main difference from products with a chemical base is harmlessness to plants, because if you dilute the fungicide incorrectly, the plant will get burned. Biologicals are a special set of bacteria that help drive out harmful microorganisms. For prevention these tools are best suited, but they are powerless in the fight against insects.

Timing of processing trees

The preparations are described above, but when to spray trees in the spring? Timing is easy. It is necessary to process the garden at least three times in one season:

• The first stage is before the buds open.
• The second is before flowering
• Third - after flowering

All these procedures are important, since each has its own task. Why treat planted trees? Trees are sprayed in the spring in order to destroy harmful insects that usually hibernate in the branches or in the bark of fruit trees. Diesel fuel will be an excellent tool for just such purposes. This is an oily substance, it will cover the trunk with a film and block the oxygen from the pests. In a few hours, most of the pupae and eggs will die out.

Be sure to treat trees with anti-coccomycosis, scab, klyasteriosporia, spotting and monillosis before they bloom.

Copper sulfate or Bordeaux liquid is well suited for such purposes. Spray trees before they bloom, you need, first of all, in order to destroy a variety of larvae pests... Broad spectrum insecticides will work. Suitable urea or karbofos containing urea in its composition.

During flowering, plants need to be sprayed twice. The first time is sprayed after the opening of the buds, the second - after the fall of most of the petals. Putrefactive diseases and harmful insects - this is the goal that such treatment... It is necessary to use combined products sold in special stores, or a mixture of insecticides and fungicides. The procedure that will consolidate the result will be spraying the trees after flowering... This treatment will help develop immunity in trees to certain diseases, as well as kill surviving insects. In this case, combined funds are needed.

A Few Tips

Do your trees have a large crown? Then process them in early spring. Urea can be used as a remedy. Spraying plants with a large and dense crown will be ineffective, since even after the most careful treatment, untreated areas will remain in the thick of the foliage where the infection will persist. If spraying is carried out in the fall, then there will be no such effect, since the branches are bare, and the solution will be distributed evenly over them. and over the fallen leaves.

It is important to know that urea is an excellent remedy to destroy fungal infections and viruses, as well as diseases of fruit trees.

The product is safe for the environment. If you spray trees with urea, then know that it can replace Bordeaux mixture, but this does not cancel spring prophylaxis with fungicide spraying.

The data presented below will help you not to get confused in the means with which you will irrigate trees in spring:

• Diesel fuel can be used in early spring.
• Bordeaux liquid, urea, iron vitriol, copper sulfate are suitable for processing before bud break. Various insecticides and karbofos will help get rid of insects.
• During flowering, Bordeaux liquid or copper sulfate will become indispensable against fungal diseases. Malofos, anabazine, DDT powder will help against insects.
• After flowering, combined mixtures of a wide spectrum of action are suitable both for combating diseaseand for insect control.

Self-preparation of some products

Some pest remedies can be prepared with your own hands.

Recipe number 1

• Tansy It is necessary to take seven hundred grams of tansy powder and pour it with ten liters of ordinary water. This solution must be infused for two days. After insisting, the resulting mixture must be boiled for twenty-five minutes, and then filtered through a sieve. Then add 10 liters of regular water again. Treat trees with this solution three or four times.

Recipe number 2

• Capsicum. One kilogram of pods should be poured with ten liters of ordinary water and insisted for about two days. After that, boil for an hour, then insist again for two days. The concentrate must be bottled and sealed tightly. You can use this infusion for one season. Add eighty grams of laundry soap to every 10 liters of water.

Fungal diseases

Among the most dangerous diseases there are, of course, fungi. The causative agents of the disease hibernate on fallen leaves, on which spores later appear. If there are too many spores, they begin to stick to the trees with the help of water droplets and germinate. They form mycelium.

Cracking of the fruit, the appearance of gray or black spots on them will be a warning: "The fungus has taken over the tree!" Spray the soil and trees with nitrophene until the buds open.

If the tree suffers from black cancer, then fungicides must be applied, and the damaged areas are cut out.

The most dangerous form of the disease is the appearance on the bark of spots of a violet-brown hue, which seem to be pressed into the trunk of a tree. Make fine spray nozzles so the bark and branches are more saturated with the substance. This is necessary because large drops easily roll off the surface of the wood, and the fungus is not destroyed.
