Features whitewash fruit trees
In the Procedure, there is nothing complicated in the Procedure, however, with its main points, it is still worth reading that efforts spent on the event and time were not spent in vain.
Time for bliss
Trees whites 2 times a year. In the fall, experts are recommended to conduct a procedure in November, and for the blown of trees in the spring, the most suitable month is considered March. However, these tips are not ultimative, because the weather nuances are sometimes unable to predict even the most experienced weather forecasters. Therefore, deciding when it is to carry out the procedure of whitewash, focus on the following tips:
- in the spring, do the garden when a stable plus temperature will be established, but not after the first foxes will appear on the trees;
- in the fall, the trees can be born on the eve of frosts.
With frequent thaws in winter, it is advisable to adjust. If a layer of the applied protective agent suffered not too much, it can be updated only from the south side.
Preparatory stage
Step-by-step preparation of trees to whitelle looks like this:
- Clean your bark. In crude wet weather, hands carefully and gently remove from the surface of the trunk and the base of the skeletal branches damaged and "dead" bark, moss, mushrooms and lichens. Keep in mind that metal and plastic blades or caps as an auxiliary tool are not suitable - they ease the bore even more. Inaccessible places and cracks can be cleaned with a wooden chips or a sharp wooden knife. All the wicked bark burned.
- Treat Coura with a disinfectant. To do this, pour a solution into a container with a sprayer or leave it in the bucket and arm yourself with a homemade herbal wedge. Try to apply a protective agent with a thin layer - it should not flush along the tree trunk down. If you decide to use a sprayer, set its sprayer into such a position so that the spraying was finely dispersed - the smallest droplets of the protective solution with a uniform and dense layer will fall on the surface of the crust.
What disinfection solution to choose
The disinfectant can be bought in the store or prepare yourself. If you like the first option, look for such mixtures for breeding such as "Hom", "Abiga Peak", "Oxy-Hom". Go to the preparation of the solution only after carefully familiarize with the instructions, proportions and recommendations of the manufacturer.
Those who relies exclusively on their own strength, offer several options for disinfectants that can be mixed alone.
- 300 g of copper mood in powder dissolve in 10 liters of water. Before direct application, make sure that copper is completely dissolved.
- Hold 10 liters of water on fire until it becomes hot, but do not bring water to boil. Then fully dissolve the economic soap (piece 50 g), then asking ashes in the water (2.5 - 3 kg). Mix the solution thoroughly. The ash is an excellent antiseptic and feeding, and thanks to the soap, the solution firmly falls on the surface of the crust. The barrel and branches are applied already cooled mixture.
- Iron vitrios (600 g) dissolve in water (10 l).
In order for trees to feel good and brought healthy delicious fruits, the disinfection solutions change annually. If you constantly use the same protective agent, copper, iron and other components of the finished solution are accumulated in the tree cortex with an excess, which will certainly affect the state of the tree, and not the best way.
Lach wounds on a tree trunk. If in the thickness of the wood and on the surface of the crust, you noticed the sections destroyed from anything or damaged by insects, take the floor to the first aid, applied to the patient the wound-inspiring agent. The following solutions are most popular:
