Everyone who has a garden on their own personal plot, want to get a rich harvest. Unfortunately, garden crops are susceptible to diseases and pest attacks. Autumn is the time when all the trees and shrubs have given their fruits and crops can be treated with various preparations without harm to health.
The long-awaited autumn has arrived. The harvest has already been harvested and you can take care of your garden so that next year it produced a good and healthy harvest. In the fall, you can treat your garden with chemicals without fear, since there will be no more fruit. In addition, you will prepare your crops for the upcoming winter.
When to spray trees and shrubs in the fall
It is recommended to start processing when the trees have shed their leaves. If you do not wait for them to fall, the leaves may get burned and this will lead to negative consequences- burn. Crops will be weakened and will not have time to obtain the necessary nutrients. Best time for spraying - November. Before processing, lichens and old bark must be removed from old trees to various pests they did not hide there and did not escape processing. It is better to do this procedure with a metal brush.
How to spray currants and gooseberries in autumn
In our country, currant and gooseberry bushes are especially popular among gardeners. These garden shrubs available in every garden plot. Experienced gardeners Every autumn they carry out a number of measures to protect their crops from pests and diseases. Can be used in autumn without fear chemicals which work very effectively.
Before you start spraying, inspect all branches. Dry and sick ones are subject to mandatory removal. Fallen leaves must be removed and preferably burned to avoid overwintering pests. The ground around the bush is also sprayed.
Pests that need to be eliminated by spraying:
- mites, aphids, raspberry beetles;
- Californian scale insect;
- stem nematode;
- glass
Currant and gooseberry bushes are susceptible to fungal diseases, which can also be controlled by spraying.
One of the popular preparations is the Bordeaux mixture, which consists of copper sulfate and quicklime. It is successfully used to combat fungal diseases. In addition, Bordeaux mixture provides crops with nutrition in the form of copper.
Rotting of apples directly on the branches is caused by a disease called moniliosis or garden rot. First, spots appear on the fruit Brown. At first it is small in size, then spreads throughout the entire fruit. The gray dots are fungal spores. It is carried by insects and birds. Wind is also a carrier. Fungal spores appear only in that area of the apple where there is no protective waxy layer in the form of a peel. If the apple is scratched, it is broken upper layer, are created favorable conditions for fungal penetration. Thin-skinned varieties make it easier for this disease to spread. Varieties with thick skin successfully counteract the disease and only a small amount of prevention effort is required. Having noticed this disease on your apple trees, you need to take control measures.
The first step is to collect all the rotten apples that are lying on the ground.
They are not suitable for compost heap as they contribute to the spread of the disease. All rotting crops must be collected and burned. There are various products available on the market to combat garden rot - Fundazol, Skor, Mikosan, Phytodoctor, Bordeaux mixture 3%.
It is very difficult to get rid of garden rot in one go. The disease can be transferred from neighboring areas by wind and birds.
If you decide to plant new apple tree seedlings, choose varieties that are resistant to this disease: Banana, Liberty, Welsey, Darunok, Yubilyar, etc.
A lot of wormy apples, what to spray on an apple tree in the fall
Another disaster strikes Apple orchard- This is an invasion of apple moths. The gray butterfly is invisible on the bark of trees and begins its flight when the apple tree blooms.
She lays her eggs on the bark of trees or in flowers. The caterpillars that emerge from the eggs crawl inside the fruit and eat it. To avoid being affected by this pest, it is necessary to carry out all year round control measures. One of these measures is to treat apple trees in the fall, when the leaves have fallen. The first step is to collect fallen leaves and damaged apples. Dig up the soil around the apple tree. If you put on a hunting belt in the spring, take it off, as insects have accumulated on it during the summer season. Whitewashing trees in the fall is a measure that does not prevent the appearance of pests.
In addition to the fact that codling moths eat the pulp of apples from the inside, they are carriers of fungal spores and bacteria, which subsequently cause apple rot.
To prevent the appearance of pests, spraying with chemical preparations is carried out in the fall:
- karbofos;
- trichlorometaphos;
- rovikurt;
- benzophosphate.
How to spray raspberries in the fall
Getting started with spraying work garden crops in the fall, don't forget about raspberries. To enjoy tasty and healthy fruits in the summer, you need to take everything possible measures for the control of raspberry pests. Pests and fungal bacteria settle in the upper parts of branches and leaves. That’s why it’s so important to prune first, shortening the bushes. This will also help the bush to overwinter and gain strength over the winter. Collect fallen leaves around the bushes, in which harmful microorganisms can overwinter, and loosen the soil. Spraying is carried out not only on bushes, but also on the surrounding land.
- Fufan - 10 ml per bucket (10 l) of water;
- Actellik - ampoule for 2 liters of water;
- Intavir - one tablet per 10 liters of water.
How to spray trees against pests in the fall
A very important procedure is spraying trees in the fall against pests, since various insects climb into the bark of trees, fallen leaves and overwinter there. In the spring they wake up and begin their harmful activities. First of all, we treat the bark, where insects can hide. We remove lichens and old bark with a metal brush. We start spraying when the trees have dropped their leaves. We choose a day with no wind and no threat of precipitation. This must be done before frost. We select the spraying preparation depending on the directional measure.
Iron sulfate - fights scab, cancer, cytosporosis, In addition, iron - necessary element in plant nutrition. Its shortage will lead to a decrease in yield and incomplete development of fruits. The solution is very simple to prepare - dilute one kilogram in fifteen liters of water.
Copper sulfate - prevents the development of putrefactive diseases - powdery mildew, scab, spotting. It is necessary to spray twice a season - in spring and autumn. Apple trees, pears and plums are especially recommended to be sprayed with this preparation. Trees that are up to six years old will need two liters per seedling.
Spraying work should not be carried out before rain, as rain will wash away the product. Spray when it is dry and calm outside.
Choice good device for spraying will make the task much easier. It is better to choose mechanical models that do not require pumping.
Before you start working with pesticides, you need to stock up on special protection - clothing, a mask, gloves.
Whitewashing trees in the fall is an integral part of preparing the garden for winter. The trunks are whitened with lime, the layer of which should be at least three centimeters. The presence of cracks in the bark determines the addition of cow manure and straw to the lime. This will help prevent further cracking. Garden varnish will heal wounds on trees. You can buy it in a store, or you can make it yourself. To do this, take two hundred grams of beeswax and 100 grams of rosin. Melt the wax and rosin separately, then mix. Add unsalted animal fat. Before use, warm the mixture and cover the wounds.
How to spray strawberries against diseases in the fall
In autumn strawberries require special care, which consists of pruning, fertilizing and spraying. With the onset of the spring-summer season, strawberries are attacked by slugs, aphids, weevils, spider mites. Characteristic diseases are powdery mildew, gray, brown or white spotting. Slugs and snails are collected by hand.
There are drugs against other pests:
- Karbofos - against spider mites;
- Intavir - against weevils, whiteflies, strawberry beetles;
- Metaldegrit - consists of granules that scatter around the bush. Directed against snails and slugs;
- Actellik - against most pests.
The following drugs effectively fight diseases:
- Nitrophen is a destroyer of all types of fungal spores;
- Topaz is effective against powdery mildew.
- Fitoverm - destroys weevils;
- Neoron - from the strawberry mite;
We breed according to the instructions.
How to spray grapes in autumn
In the fall, after harvesting, it is necessary to inspect the bushes for disease damage and the presence of pests. Autumn treatment guarantees good harvest next year. One of the diseases of grapes a - mildya. Gray or yellow spots oily in nature are signs of this disease. If you notice these signs, treat with the following medications: Kartotsid, Efal, Amistar, Strobi . Oidium is another grape disease. If you smell rotten fish, it means that the grapes have contracted this disease. In this case, it is recommended to spray with colloidal sulfur. The solution is prepared as follows: take five grams of sulfur for 4 liters of water, another drug is potassium permanganate, and five grams of potassium for ten liters of water. You can also buy drugs in the store - Fundazol, Falcon . If there are no signs of damage, preventive treatment is carried out.
Of the pests, grapes are most often affected by grape budworm and mite. It helps Rowekurt . For preventive spraying - Fundazol, Polychom.
The timing of spraying grapes depends on the varieties. Early varieties sprayed already in September. Varieties late maturing- at the end of October. After processing, the grapes are pruned and covered for the winter.
How to spray roses in the fall
Every gardener knows that preparing roses for winter is a very important undertaking. Otherwise, in the spring you can see a disastrous result. Along with feeding, pruning and covering, in the fall it is necessary to spray against pests and diseases. Autumn times All the leaves are removed from the roses and pruned. Leaves left on roses dry out and can become a source of fungal diseases.
Like other plants, roses are susceptible to attack by insects - rose aphids, rose leafhoppers, pennies, slobbering frogs, spider mites, leaf rollers, rose sawflies, and bronze beetles. These harmful insects feed on plant juices and gnaw passages inside the branches, causing harm to roses. The caterpillar and bronzovka overwinter in the soil; in the spring, when it gets warmer, they crawl to the surface and begin to reproduce. The settlement of aphid colonies on roses leads to severe weakening of plants, especially in winter period. The roseate aphid lays eggs for the winter. To combat sucking pests in the fall, insecticides are used: Karbofos, A ktellik, Rogor, Megation . They also spray pruned bushes, Bordeaux mixture, concentration 3%. Before you start processing by spraying, you need to carefully dig up the soil under the roses with a shovel - turn the layer over so that the insects and deposited larvae appear on the surface and undergo treatment.
Fungus infestation is a common occurrence on rose bushes. These are powdery mildew, black spot, rust, chlorosis. For diseases, spraying is carried out by mixing the following components: inkstone— 3% and potassium sulfate- 0.3%. Can be sprayed copper sulfate, at a concentration of 3%. Also, in the fall, the ground around the roses is sprinkled with ash, which kills the fungus.
How to spray honeysuckle in the fall
Honeysuckle grows very well in middle lane Russia. Those who already have this shrub on their plot can observe what diseases and pests this crop is susceptible to. It is quite difficult to combat these scourges, but by stocking up on knowledge and experience in this direction, you can have healthy bushes every season that produce large and tasty berries.
Honeysuckle can hurt viral diseases Rezuha mosaic - manifests itself in the sharp growth of young shoots, which leads to strong bushiness. The leaves do not develop fully, as a result they dry out and die. Leaf mottling - brown spots appear on the leaves. These diseases are easy to fight. First of all, do not buy seedlings from random people, as there is no guarantee to buy healthy plant. If you notice signs of these diseases, it is necessary to promptly prune the affected branches.
Fungal diseases - powdery mildew, European cancer, tubercular disease, ramularia, blackening of branches. You can observe the infection throughout spring-summer period. Powdery mildew is a common disease that affects most crops in your garden. Plants are covered with a white powdery coating. Remularia - appearance on young leaves brown spots, in the middle of which, characteristic White spot. Tubercularosis is the appearance of red tubercles on plant stems. European cancer - enters through open wounds. Yellow or brown leaves, gray spots on the upper parts of the stems are signs of the disease. Blackening of branches is a black coating on leaves and branches in the form of soot.
They will help you get rid of this scourge Bordeaux mixture - spraying in late autumn with a 3% solution and copper oxychloride - contained in the drug "Hom", which is commercially available. Dilution according to instructions.
The favorite of gardeners, the pear, can be attacked by hordes of pests and fungal diseases. To avoid these troubles, it is necessary to inspect the trees with the onset of spring. If you notice that something is wrong with the tree, you need to take action. For prevention purposes, it is necessary to spray the branches, trunk and soil with special preparations in the fall. And if you notice signs of disease during the growing season, treatment is necessary several times a year.
Autumn processing should be carried out when the entire harvest has been harvested. This time is especially good because you can spray with chemicals while observing safety measures.
Diseases that can visit a pear: pear, black cancer, maniliosis, bacterial burn, cytosporosis, rust, powdery mildew. As you can see, the list is quite large. Treatment is carried out with essential drugs - liquid of Bordeaux - 1% solution, copper sulfate - concentration 3%, diluted warm water, then add cold water. Drugs that are commercially available - Agravertine, Spark .
Pests that attack pears are leaf rollers, green aphids, psyllids, and pear mites. Drugs help control pests - Polychom, Fundozol, Anti-Pest.
How to spray conifers in the fall
Decorating your garden with all kinds of coniferous trees, make sure that they feel good on the site and get sick and be attacked by pests as little as possible. Conifers suffer from the following diseases: cancer, rust, needle wilting. To prevent diseases, a number of measures are used: loosening the soil, scattering peat around the tree trunk, shelter for the winter from sunburn, sprinkling, spraying. When preparing conifers for winter, spray with a solution of “ Epin-Extra “, in concentration - one ampoule per five liters of water. The next day - with a solution Zircona - one ampoule per ten liters of water. You can use drugs - Immunocytophyte, Ribav-Extra. Dilute according to instructions.
Insect pests that conifers love are aphids, bark beetles, spider mites, sawflies, pine silkworms, shoot moths, and false scale insects. As you can see, there are quite a lot of them. In addition to processing in spring and summer, prepare preparations for autumn processing in order to avoid the awakening of larvae and harmful insects in the needles and soil in the spring. Use Iskra drugs, Double Effect, Senpai, Alatar . If you notice settlements spider mite, treat with the drug "Fufan."
How to spray an apple tree against scab in the fall
Porsha is a common disease in the garden. It can be recognized by the spots that cover the fruit. The marsupial fungus (Venturia inaequalis) is the causative agent of this disease. It penetrates leaves, ovaries and fruits. If the weather is humid, it favors the development of this disease. In August, the spores of this fungus begin to ripen and tolerate cold well. They settle in the leaves and wait for the autumn leaves to fall. The spores feel favorable under fallen leaves. Fallen leaves must be collected and burned. Reduced yield and weakened immunity of the apple tree are the consequences that await you if treatment and prevention measures are not taken. Tree treatment should begin in the fall and continue in the spring. Carry out work on cutting dry branches. Clean the bark with a wire brush, as pests hibernate in the bark. Places that have been cleaned must be disinfected with a solution of copper sulfate (a tablespoon per ten liters of water). Treatment must begin when the leaves have completely left the tree branches. You need to spray at above-zero temperatures, before frost sets in. If the weather is rainy and cloudy outside, it is better to wait for a dry, windless day, otherwise all your efforts will go down the drain.
A drug that has effective action —liquid of Bordeaux, - you can cook it yourself. We take copper sulfate - 400 grams, lime - 300 grams, and dilute it in twenty liters of water.
Other drugs:
- iron sulfate - dilute 500 grams in 10 liters of water;
- colloidal sulfur, dilute a packet of the drug in five liters;
- ammonium nitrate - concentration - 10%;
- ammonium sulfate - concentration - 10%;
- potassium sulfate - concentration - 5%;
- potassium chloride - concentration - 5%.
Urea is also used in processing, as it is safe and available. 7%-10% solution.
Urea is highly effective not only in the fight against scab, but also destroys harmful insects.
Due to the fact that bacteria quickly multiply under the bark of untreated trees, the vegetative process slows down. Plants slowly “wake up” after winter. Therefore processing fruit trees in the fall it is very important. To do this, you need to prepare the plants. Processing trees that are older than six years begins with removing old bark and lichen with a metal brush. This is necessary so that pathogens of various diseases cannot hide. Trees must be treated immediately after removal. The last spraying in the fall occurs when all the foliage has fallen. You can carry out this procedure after the first frost. To begin with, all foliage, fallen branches and weeds are removed. Protection for fruit trees is provided by solutions of copper or iron sulfate, urea, etc. Each drug is aimed at a specific type of threat. Therefore, treatment of fruit trees in the fall cannot consist of spraying with only one product. The drug is selected depending on the desired results. It is recommended to carry out the procedure in question at the end of October.
inkstone
This preparation is intended for spraying and feeding fruit trees - apple trees, cherries. After the procedure, the plants are saturated with iron and beneficial microelements. Treatment of fruit trees in the fall helps improve oxidative processes. The drug fights pests, destroys lichen, scab, moss, black cancer, cytosporosis. Iron plays a big role in the life of fruit trees. Its deficiency reduces the amount of harvest and leads to incomplete fruit development. It is very easy to prepare a solution of iron sulfate. It is necessary to dilute one kilogram of dry powder in a fifteen-liter bucket of water.
Copper sulfate
This product, which contains a fungicide, prevents the appearance of putrefactive diseases, scab, powdery mildew, and spots. It is recommended to spray trees twice - in spring and autumn. Treating fruit trees in the fall with copper sulfate is especially recommended for pears, apples and plums. You can, of course, spray other plants in the garden. Copper sulfate provides plums with defensive reaction from moniliosis, clasterosporosis, coccomycosis, curliness. The product protects pears and apple trees from scab, moniliosis and phyllostictosis. For fruit trees (up to six years old), up to two liters of copper sulfate per seedling is sufficient. Consumption for older plants is up to ten liters. It is recommended to spray fruit trees in the morning or evening. The weather should be calm and the temperature should be from +5 to +30 degrees. It is necessary to protect people and animals from contact with the drug, and also to prevent it from entering water supplies.
Treatment with urea (urea)
Processing devices
Processing fruit trees in the fall is simplified thanks to existing devices of a mechanical or manual operating principle. These devices protect the gardener from contact with the preparations and spray them evenly. Regardless of the operating principle, all devices are equipped with a spray pump. Differences mechanical devices from manual models lie in the ease of their use. And, of course, there is a difference in their cost. Mechanical devices are more convenient, but more expensive. And for spraying trees with hand-held device requires periodic pumping.
Additional processing
Treatment of fruit trees in the fall against pests and diseases should not be limited to spraying with copper, iron sulfate or urea. Plants also need to be watered abundantly and whitened. The layer of lime on the bark should be at least three millimeters.
If there are cracks and wounds on the tree, then you need to add a little to the lime cow dung and finely chopped straw. The resulting solution will protect the plant from cracking.
Another method of protection is garden varnish. You can buy it at the store or prepare it yourself. To do this you need to take one hundred grams of rosin and two hundred grams beeswax. You need to melt these substances (each separately), then mix them and add one hundred grams of unsalted fat. Before filling cracks, the varnish must be heated.
Autumn preparation in the southern regions involves pruning trees. IN northern cities this will doom the plant to freeze.
In a well-kept garden there are shrubs and fruit trees will become healthy and fruitful if they are properly prepared for the new season. In addition to whitewashing trunks and trimming branches, a necessary condition will be nitrogen-containing spraying, the main component of which is urea. Nitrogen irrigation of trees performs several functions simultaneously.
When working with urea in the fall, remember:
- Ureas are organic fertilizers, but their composition is determined by mineral nitrogen-containing components;
- This is a fast-acting concentrate whose properties last for a long period;
- the fertilizer quickly erodes, therefore it requires irrigation directly of the soil, including greenhouse and greenhouse soil;
- the connection is effective in waterlogged areas;
- biologically active soil retains more nitrogen than alkaline or neutral soil environments;
- Nitrogen-containing fertilizers are more effective and safe for the garden in autumn period when the foliage does not burn when concentration is disturbed;
- urea slows down the growing season, delaying flowering from spring frosts that are fatal to the ovary. This will have a beneficial effect on the conservation early ripening varieties plums, peaches and apricots, and the fruit trees themselves retain the developing buds;
- after spraying in the fall they die garden pests, and also eliminates various diseases of garden crops;
- after combining with earth, urea turns into ammonium carbonate;
- nitrogen-containing compounds do not accept compounds with chalk, lime and simple superphosphates;
- urea helps get rid of old stumps, causing them to quickly rot;
- Autumn treatment of the garden with nitrogen concentrate protects garden plants from early frosts.
How to improve productivity?We are constantly receiving letters in which amateur gardeners are worried that due to the cold summer this year bad harvest potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, and other vegetables. Last year we published TIPS on this matter. But unfortunately, many did not listen, but some still applied. Here is a report from our reader, we would like to recommend plant growth biostimulants that will help increase the yield by up to 50-70%.

Pest Elimination
Urea is effective against purple spot, monilial burn, scab, and other dangerous diseases for garden and fruit crops. For the composition, dilute 500 g of nitrogen-containing fertilizer in 10 liters of water. The solution is irrigated on the foliage, which will inhibit the infectious pathogen, and as a result, they will stop reproducing. The same concentrate should be poured over fallen leaves in which insects intend to overwinter.
Seasonal processing of fruit trees
The second procedure for protecting fruit trees from the invasion of aphids or other infectious agents is carried out during the period when ants appear in the grass under the trees. In order not to be left without a harvest, you should prepare the trees:
- Dig up the ground around the trees, remove damaged branches, whiten the trunks.
- Spraying the garden is best done on a calm, sunny day. If the heat has already set in, work should be moved to early or evening hours.
- enjoy ready-made solution You need to wear protective clothing, gloves, goggles and a mask.
- For more effective fight with insects, 700 g of nitrogen fertilizer is combined with 50 g of copper sulfate and diluted with 10 liters of water. This treatment is useful for killing pests and fertilizing the soil.
- Very suitable for spraying tall trees gardeners recommend using a sprayer.
- When treating the crown, do not skimp on the composition; it is harmless to plants.
Organize the next spraying of the garden during the flowering period, and then after fruit set.
If the concentrate is washed away by precipitation, nitrogen irrigation must be repeated.
For root feeding of cherry and plum crops during the period of fruit ripening, dilute 120 - 150 g of fertilizer per 10 liters of water; For apple trees, prepare a solution of 250 g of crystals for the same volume of water.
When adding urea under the trunks, it is necessary to thoroughly fill the holes with water.
If trees are added organic fertilizer, urea standards are reduced by almost half.
The optimal time for nitrogen irrigation is late autumn
Treatment of garden trees with urea in an earlier period threatens the trees with burns and premature loss of leaves, which will affect their resistance to frost or insufficient filling of nutrients.
A dry and windless day is suitable for the spraying process. The procedure in such weather will have a greater effect.
Late autumn to prepare 6-10 summer trees before neutralization, obvious signs of damage to the cortex should be eliminated. To do this, the infected areas are cleaned manually using a metal brush. This will allow you to spray the affected area and rid the trees of insects that have gathered to spend the winter on them.
Moreover, even for discarded leaves affected by diseases, treatment with such urea is mandatory. Gardeners recommend subjecting it to the same thorough spraying. In the spring, the remains of overwintered leaves will become additional compost for fruit crops.
The urea irrigation solution for fertilizing is less concentrated than for disinfection purposes. To compile medicinal composition should be diluted to 700 g of drug granules in a 10 liter container with water.
Features of nitrogen prevention in autumn
The entire crown of the tree should be sprayed with urea, and thorough irrigation is necessary, which will ensure the destruction of existing lesions and also prevent the subsequent proliferation of the infection.
Safety precautions
Treatment with nitrogen-containing compounds requires compliance with safety instructions. Special protection will help protect your health: a respiratory mask, which can be replaced with a thick gauze bandage; protective glasses; latex gloves. After work, you should wash your hands and face, work clothes wash and clean shoes.

Attention, TODAY only!
Experts recommend carrying out protective spraying in the fall. This day should be rain-free, dry and frost-free. While trees bloom, bear fruit and ripen, they do not need protection from various small pests. You can learn about how and what to spray the garden in the fall from this article.
Preparing plants for processing
On winter time insects are looking for a warm place to sit out the cold season. Such places are fallen leaves, bark and soil. As a result, spraying of fruit trees should be carried out precisely in the autumn.
This action will help rid the trees of scab, spots, putrefactive diseases and other misfortunes. Due to the fact that bacteria multiply much faster under the bark of plants that are not treated, the vegetative process slows down.
After winter, plants slowly “wake up” and processing has great importance in the fall. Before spraying trees in the fall, they need to be prepared.
Preparation and processing are carried out in several stages and depend on the age of the seedlings:
- If the plants are more than six years old, then you first need to remove the old bark and lichen using a metal brush. This is done so that pathogens of various diseases do not have the opportunity to hide.
- Once everything has been removed from the trees, spraying is carried out. The very last spraying should be done after all the leaves have fallen. You can also do this after the first frost. First you need to remove all the leaves, branches and weeds that have fallen.
How to treat garden trees
How to spray fruit trees in the fall? Fruit garden plants are best protected by solutions of urea, iron or copper sulfate. Each solution is aimed at a specific type of threat.
And therefore, spraying plants cannot be carried out with only one preparation. The product is selected depending on the desired result. Experts recommend doing this procedure at the end of October.
inkstone
This preparation is used to treat and feed fruit trees such as apple trees, plums, cherries and peaches. After processing the plant get a lot of useful microelements and iron. Also, after the procedure, oxidative processes improve.
If there is not enough of it, then the quantity and quality of the harvest decreases. It is not difficult to prepare a solution of iron sulfate. You need to mix one kg of dry powder with 15 liters of water.
Copper sulfate
If you don’t know what trees are sprayed with in the fall, use copper sulfate. This drug, which contains a fungicide, does not allow putrefactive diseases to appear, powdery mildew, scab and spotting.
This drug protects plums from moniliosis, coccomycosis, clusterosporosis and curliness. For pears and apple trees it provides a protective reaction against monioiasis, scab and phyllostictosis.
If the trees in the garden are not older than six years, then use up to two liters of copper sulfate solution per seedling. If the plant is older, then use up to ten liters.
It is best to spray fruit trees in the garden in the morning or evening. The temperature should be from +5 to +30 degrees, and it is also not advisable that there be wind.
Treating the garden with urea
It is recommended to spray the plants in the garden with urea as the first or last stage in preparation for winter. The first spraying should be done with a high concentration of the product. This action kills all pest larvae.
Seedlings in the garden are treated in the fall after half of the leaves have fallen off. To do this, make a solution - 10 liters of water and 500 g of urea. When all the leaves have fallen on the trees, the solution is made more concentrated by 7%.
Needs processing trunks, branches and soil. This is an excellent tree protection and fertilizer. Just be careful not to overdo it with preparing the solution; if it is too concentrated, the leaves will get burned and fall off earlier than necessary.
As a result, the supply will decrease useful substances and the frost resistance of fruit trees will decrease.
Nuances of autumn garden processing
Plants in the garden are sprayed using a manual or mechanized apparatus. This device evenly sprays the drug and protects a person from contact with it. Regardless of the operating principle of the device, they all have spray pump.
Mechanical models differ from manual ones in ease of use and difference in cost. Mechanical ones are much more convenient, but more expensive. Tree processing manual device requires periodic pumping.
When trees have wounds and cracks, in addition to lime, you also need to use the following products:
- cow dung;
- finely chopped straw.
There is another way to protect trees - garden var. You can make it yourself or buy it in a store. To prepare you need 100 g of rosin and 200 g of beeswax.
These products need to be melted separately, then mixed together and add 100 g of unsalted fat to the mixture. Before sealing the cracks, the garden pitch needs to be heated.
In the southern regions, trees need to be pruned in the fall, and in the northern regions, such an action will lead to the freezing of the plant.
In September-October the foliage is garden trees It begins to slowly turn yellow - the plants are preparing for the arrival of winter cold. Garden pests also sense the approaching winter and begin to actively seek shelter. And if you miss the moment, then next year the voracious caterpillars will quickly find their way back to their favorite places and begin to devour young buds and tender leaves of plants.
When to spray trees in the fall
Therefore, autumn spraying of trees in the garden is carried out immediately after the massive leaf fall. At the same time, you should not put this matter off until later: when the temperature drops below +5...6 degrees, the effect of spraying is sharply reduced, because by this time the pests have already managed to crawl deep into the soil or into the bark.
But you shouldn’t wait for the trees to completely lose their foliage; 80-90% is enough. In this case, a sufficient amount of insecticidal solution will fall on the branches and trunk.
If the infectious background is weak, then you can get by with superficial treatment of the trees. But when there are a lot of pests, it makes sense to carry out washing spraying. It is done in such a way as to thoroughly wet the trunk, all large and small branches and the ground under the crown. The solution should also be sprayed into cracks and other openings in the bark.
The optimal weather for spraying the garden is dry and windless with a temperature of +10 degrees. Optimal time- early morning or sunset hours.
Preparations for autumn garden spraying
In order to clear the garden of pests in the fall, it can be sprayed with a 10% urea solution. After a week or a week and a half, it is advisable to re-treat with a solution of copper sulfate with the addition of slaked lime. This composition will destroy not only caterpillars and beetles, but also the causative agents of many diseases.
To prepare it, 300 grams of copper sulfate are dissolved in three liters of warm water, and 400 grams of lime are diluted in 10-12 liters of water. After this, the resulting solutions are combined and thoroughly mixed again.
Drug consumption rates
Before preparing the solution, it is important to estimate how much mixture you will approximately need. To do this, you can focus on the following average consumption rates per plant without leaves:
- for one berry bush - from 0.1 to 1.3 liters;
- for one young tree - 0.5 liters;
- for one adult large tree - 5 liters.
How to properly spray trees against pests
For autumn-spring treatment of garden crops, it is more convenient to buy a sprayer with a capacity of 8-10 liters, because most store-bought preparations are designed for dilution in exactly this volume of liquid. During the operation itself, the liquid in the sprayers must be shaken periodically (every minute or two) so that it remains sufficiently homogeneous.
To protect perennial plantings located near trees ( garden strawberries, flowers, vegetables) you need to throw a film on them. You should also take care of your own equipment: use a protective raincoat, special glasses and a respirator. And, of course, you must follow all the recommendations given in the instructions for the drug used.
