Autumn processing of the garden from pests: preparations and treatment rules

The pre-winter preparation of the garden should be treated withspecial attention, because it depends on how the plants will be ready for spring. Autumn processing of the garden from pests is aimed at combating the following factors:

• insect pests;

• microorganisms - pathogens of diseases;

• rodents;

• frost action.

Artificially derived plant cultures are more in need of care than wild ones. Treatment of the garden in autumn from pests includes the following activities:

• pruning;

• spraying;

• whitewash;

• tying for the winter.

  

Pruning plants

When the summer is over, we need to dopreventive pruning. Removed diseased shoots, branches, located at an acute angle and growing into the depth of the crown. Autumn can drag on and cause plant growth due to warm weather. There are many tops, which must be removed.

For the southern regions, autumn and winter complete pruningApproaches, and in the north it is undesirable to do. The site of the cut may begin to dry, or the bark freezes around it. Especially it concerns young trees. Saplings are cut off only if the branch interferes with others.

It is important to form trees with tiers and leave the lower branches thicker than the upper ones. If one of the shoots begins to stand out among others, it is shortened by a third more.

Whitewashing of trees. Preparation

Processing the garden for the winter by brushing the trunks of trees is a necessary stage of preparation for the cold.

They are cleaned of the old bark and moss scraper andwith an iron brush. To prevent pests from falling to the ground, a cloth or film should be placed under the tree. Cracks on the bark need to be covered with a garden crock. Blends for whitewash sell ready. You can use your own preparations.

Stain compositions for whitewash

Mixing ratio for whitewash:

• lime slaked - 3 kg;

• copper vitriol - 450 g;

• glue casein - 80 g;

• water - until the consistency of sour cream.

Another old and reliable recipe:

• lime slaked - 2 kg;

• copper vitriol - 250 g;

• clay - 1 kg;

• cow dung - 1 kg.

Presence in a suspension of lime and clay makes the coating gas permeable. You can also use acrylic and water-based paints.

Positive action

When cleaning the bark and applying a protective layer to the trunkwood will be reliably cleared of harmful insects and microorganisms. Autumn processing of the garden from pests by whitewashing the trees allows you to burn the eggs of insects on the trunks. Efficiency increases the addition of copper or iron vitriol and insecticides, for example, carbofos. As a binder, glue or clay can be used. Adding a tablespoon of carb in the suspension, you can be calm that mice and hares will not approach the trees.

The fall in autumn protects the trunks from frost, notallowing them to penetrate into pests and fungi. All waste generated during this process must be burned. The remains of vegetation should not be left on the ground. This helps to destroy insect pests and pathogens.

The processing of the garden in September includes digging the soil.

In this case the weed should be removed and buried in compost pits. Then the disputes between clusterospiosis and coccomicosis will be destroyed.

Spraying plants from diseases and pests

Most pests and sources of plant diseases in the garden are collected during ripening and harvesting. Chemicals are prohibited during this period.

Urea

After harvesting, trees and shrubssprayed with urea solution (5%), which protects them from scab. They process trunks and branches of plants, and also the soil beneath them. The area under the tree should be sprayed necessarily. Carbamide activates vegetative processes in plants, saturating them with nitrogen. This can adversely affect plants that do not have time to adjust to the cold. Autumn processing of the garden from pests by spraying should be made no later than a month before the onset of frost. The garden should be prepared for the winter to the fullest.

Before you start spraying plants, you must provide yourself with a respirator, gloves, goggles and tight clothing. Dry and windless weather is chosen for work.

Copper sulfate

From fruit rot, scab, powdery mildew,kokikomikoza and other diseases helps the processing of the garden with copper sulfate, in particular stone and pome fruits, as well as currants, grapes, gooseberries.

To increase the efficiency, a solution oflime (Bordeaux mixture). In autumn, spraying will be more effective, since concentration can be increased to 3%. In spring, such a solution can destroy or damage the leaves. Bordeaux mixture is on sale everywhere, and it can be made independently, if in 20 liters of water dilute 400 g of slaked lime and 300 g of copper sulfate. Instead it can be used Burgundy mixture, replacing the lime with 250 g of soda ash. To better adhere to it, add a solution of soap. In the Bordeaux liquid, it should not be introduced because of folding into insoluble lumps. This spraying is the last in the season. Too early to produce it is not worth it, since the leaves will get burned and fall off the trees early. The most appropriate time is November.

inkstone

Autumn processing of the garden with iron vitriol (5-7%) makes it possible to get rid of moss and lichen. To do this, they are sprayed with old trees.

Autumn processing with iron sulfate allowsit is better to prepare the plants for the winter. Unlike the Bordeaux liquid, lime can not be added to it. Spraying has the same effect as the treatment of the garden with copper sulfate, but the plants are saturated with iron, which has a positive effect on the oxidative processes in stone and pome fruits. To completely get rid of certain diseases, it should be used in combination with special means. In copper or iron vitriol, insecticides are added, which increase the effectiveness of the solution in the fight against insects.

Tying trees for the winter

In winter, tree trunks are tied with branches of spruce, juniper, raspberry, ruberoid, film, metal mesh. At the same time, you should pour dirt on the side of the ground so that the rodents do not get through from below.

The harness also protects the bark from sunburn. As the snow falls, it is additionally poured into the trunks. Mice like to winter in plant debris, which should be removed and not left on the ground. In places where rodents are likely to live, bait with poison should be disintegrated. Snow around the trunks of trees trampled on, so that the mice did not make their way through the dense layer. To protect from hares, fences around the site help.

In April, the harness is removed. It is advisable to do this on cloudy days so that plants adapt to the sun's rays.

Thus, the autumn processing of the garden from pests in the form of the above measures allows protecting trees and increasing their yield.
