Garden pests winter well and are activated with the onset of warmth. In spring, measures are taken to protect raspberries, strawberries, currants and other berry crops from diseases and harmful insects
Garden processing is carried out at the beginning of freezing temperatures and is carried out in several stages. The first time, special funds are applied before the buds open, the second - before flowering, the third, if necessary (after harvesting).
Before the measure of control and prevention, order is being restored in the garden: fallen leaves, dry grass are collected, old branches are cleared of lichens.
Gooseberry and currant processing
You can start protective measures immediately after the snow melts. It is important to know what you need to deal with, an inspection of the bush is carried out. I will name the characteristic signs of common problems.
1. If the branches seem to be burnt, this is a sign of damage by the kidney moth.
2. Large buds resembling a miniature cabbage head - the presence of a kidney mite.
3. The activity of the glass pot leaves holes inside the branches. Before processing, the affected areas are trimmed with pruning shears.
4. The ends of the young growth are covered with a light bloom - powdery mildew. All whitish parts are removed.
To avoid the use of chemical insecticides, gardeners use folk remedies. The soil is spilled with a solution of manganese, branches with hot water from a watering can. Copper sulfate (10 l + 100 g of powder) is an effective method, 1-1.5 liters are consumed per bush. Bordeaux liquid "works" well (1 liter per bush).
Harmless drugs include Fitosporin, Bitoxibacillin, Trichophyte, etc. Their action is designed for warm weather (from +8), so their use is impossible in early spring. I will list the work to eliminate frequently occurring problems.
Before the kidneys swell
When lesions are detected with a false shield, glass, powdery mildew, branches are removed, with a currant mite - the kidneys come off. All collected material is removed from the site or incinerated. They also do with fallen leaves from near-trunk circles. The soil under the bushes is loosened by 7-10 cm.
When swollen, at the initial stage of bud break
To block the likelihood of an invasion of gall midges (stem, leaf), the soil under the currants is spilled with a Spark solution, mulched with a layer of 6 cm. To eliminate the kidney moth, scale insect, weevil, aphids, spraying with Fufanon-Nova, Engio, Aktar, Confidor, Aktellik is used. The dosage of the prepared solution is 1.5 liters per bush.
The gooseberry moth is destroyed by Karbofos. Preparation of the solution is done in 10 l + 15 ml of pesticide, consumption 1-1, 5 l per adult bush. Against currant moths, Spark tablets are purchased or 0.1% Aktara solution is made.
Raspberry processing
In early spring, to prevent the development of infections and the reproduction of pests (stem fly, raspberry beetle, weevil, shoot gall midge), plantings of raspberries are sprayed. Work is carried out before the leaves open, different solutions are used:
• copper sulfate (50g) + urea (200 g), everything is diluted in 10 liters;
• fluff lime (300 g) + copper sulphate (300 g) + 10 liters of water;
• iron vitriol (100 g) + 5 liters.
If the raspberry is affected by pests, land cultivation is required. Digging / loosening is carried out to a depth of 10 cm. Then the entire area under the bushes is poured from the Fufanon watering can (20 ml of the preparation + 10 l of water). From glass and other leaf-gnawing, Karbofos, Actellik are used. Consumption of the solution, based on the spilling of branches and soil, per square meter of the plantation is 2.5 liters.
Strawberry processing
The larvae left after wintering can be destroyed by spilling boiling water between the rows. Before watering, the outlets are cleaned from old foliage, weeds are removed. The water in the watering can should be + 80 … + 95. To prevent the progression of infections, a manganese solution is added to a watering can with boiling water to obtain a faint pink tint.
In the presence of strawberry mites and other insect pests, Inta-Vir, Actellik, Agravertin are used. Thunderstorm / Metaldehyde is used for slugs, soft-bodied insects, and urea for gastropods.
From powdery mildew, verticillary wilting, white / gray / black rot and other fungal diseases, the strawberry plantation is spilled with antifungal drugs: Topaz, 1% Bordeaux liquid, Horus, Fundazol, Sulfaride, etc.
