Vitriol for garden treatment in the fall from pests and diseases

To prepare the trees for winter, experts advise to produce timely processing of the garden in the fall from pests and diseases. Gardeners recommend the use of drugs that effectively destroy pathogens, larvae and bacteria. If you ignore spraying, the fruits of the trees will be unusable. The result is directly affected by the processing time.

Principle of procedure

Experts advise produce autumn gardening from diseases and pests in sunny weather when there is no wind. Additional recommendations:

1. No rain in the coming days.
2. Air temperature is above zero.
3. The use of quality and proven tools.

Cleaning and trimming

If harvesting is completed, it is necessary to remove leaves with rotten fruits from the ground. Waste can be thrown into a pre-dug hole. In a few years, they will turn out fertilizer.

If diseased fruits, damaged leaves are revealed during garden cleaning, they are burned. A fabric spreads on the land cleared of debris. It will not allow insects to enter the soil. The bark of each tree is examined. It is cleaned with scrapers. If wounds and crevices are identified, it is recommended to cover them. Otherwise, microbes will penetrate the tree. Garden crops are pruned only in the south of the country, where the air temperature drops slightly. After such manipulation in the northern regions of Russia, trees can die.

If there are no frosts, the cutting is carried out as follows:

• removal of dry, crooked and infected branches;
• waste incineration;
• once every several years, anti-aging pruning of old garden crops is performed, which helps to activate their growth, increase productivity.

Whitewashing methods

During the autumn processing of trees from pests and diseases, gardeners plan whitewashing. It is a reliable protection for the trunks from the sun. At the same time destroys pests, regulates heat. Whitewashing prevents stem overheating and hypothermia.

Manipulation is carried out using ready-made drugs that hold well on the cortex. They include an antiseptic. It simultaneously disinfects the surface. Gardeners are advised to treat the bark of trees with a not too fluid mixture. To do this, PVA glue or garden adhesive is added to the finished composition.

It is forbidden to use carpentry glue, as it contributes to clogging of the bark. In this case, the tree will not breathe. Less finished fluid - high price. To save money, gardeners replace the drug with the following solution:

• 10 l of water;
• 3 kg of slaked lime;
• 300 g iron either copper sulfate.

It is possible to process trunks with slaked lime, clay and PVA glue.Some gardeners replace vitriol with “Dichlorvos”, BI-58, DNOC, “Hom”, “Oksikhom”.

Spray products

Spraying their crowns also enters the processing of fruit trees in the fall. The procedure is performed using solutions and spray guns or sprayers. List of suitable solutions:

1. One or two percent solution of vitriol. Eliminates various pests.
2. One percent Bordeaux mixture. Used to destroy powdery mildew, rot. The solution is prepared from 1 kg of vitriol, 50 l of water, lime fluid.
3. Soap with soda ash. With the help of a solution, you can spray for prophylactic purposes powdery mildew, currants, gooseberries. The medicine is prepared from water, soda and soap.
4. Urea solution. It is used against aphids. Urea treatment of the garden in autumn is effective against leafworms and flower beetles.

Spraying by any means is carried out in late, cool autumn. Otherwise, a strong concentration of the mixture can burn the trees.

Traditional strapping

To protect fruit plants from frost, they are strapped with spruce branches, reeds, roofing felt. They encircle the trunk, pre-laying a rag. It should not touch the bark. A metal mesh is stretched over the material, which will retain its shape without harming the tree.

Under the construction, earth is sprinkled. She will not allow rodents to get to the trunk. If there are a lot of mice in the garden, it is recommended to use traps, poison baits to combat them. In the spring they can be removed. Processing of trees should begin if the leaves have fallen, but before the onset of cold weather. If the autumn is late, work is carried out later.

Tips from gardeners

So that the process of preparing the garden for winter is not hazardous to health, it is recommended to use gloves, a bathrobe, glasses and a respirator. With the help of a respirator respiratory organs are protected. Glasses prevent splashes on the mucous membranes of the eye.

Used for spraying products can cause allergies. To protect the body from them, you need to spray trees in protective clothing. During work, it is forbidden to drink water, smoke. The product itself is not bred in food utensils. If after processing the solution remains, it is disposed of in a place inaccessible to animals, children and adults. You can not pour the solution into the sewer, compost pit.

Experienced gardeners are not advised to handle fruit, if it is raining, slush on the street. The best option is a calm and dry day. For processing, it is recommended to use a suitable drug. His choice depends on the type of pest.

For protection to be more effective, put a solution of lime on the barrel with a layer of 3 mm. After the procedure, the earth around the tree is watered abundantly. Spraying is carried out using self-prepared or ready-made preparations, which differ in cost and principle of exposure.

DIY mixes

In practice, some self-made white whitening solutions have proven their effectiveness. For example, you can mix 3 kg of lime, 80 g of casein glue, 0.5 kg of copper sulfate. Water is added to the mixture until thickened.

For whitewashing, water-based or acrylic paint is often used. If the procedure is performed correctly, a layer forms on the trees that protects them from insects, pests and other microbes. To increase the protective properties, insecticides are added to the solution.

If there are wounds or cracks on the trunks, it is recommended:

• prepare a composition of finely chopped resin, cow manure;
• treat damage with garden var.

If there is no last resort, 200 g of beeswax and 100 g of rosin are melted on their own. The components are mixed by adding 100 g of fat to them. The prepared mixture is applied to the problem areas of the barrel in a warm form.
