What should be processed in spring plum from fruit moniliosis.
Spring processing of trees in the garden plays a huge role, because the entire harvest and the safety of plants depend on it. If the fallen leaves have not been removed since autumn, then you should take care of this at the first opportunity in the spring. And cleaning is necessary not because of the aesthetic appearance of the garden, but as a prevention of diseases.
In last year's leaves and fallen fruits, a huge number of larvae of various pests winters, who, in the very first warm days, will climb fruit trees and begin to feed on their juice, buds and leaves. Spring pruning of dry and diseased branches is also important.
Plum is no exception. To get a bountiful harvest, you must first treat the trees for moniliosis, one of the many fungal diseases.
Consequences of moniliosis
If a tree is infected with this disease, then goodbye to a good harvest. The fruits on the tree begin to turn brown and then rot. Gray pads appear on the plums: these are the places of accumulation of spores of the fungus, which thus remains "for the winter." When the weather is rainy, the spread of fungal disease occurs instantly.
Plum tree processing
Trees must be processed before buds appear. The plum should be re-sprayed after flowering. In order to reliably protect trees from fungus, it is necessary to process them again during the period of fruit emergence.
How to treat a plum from moniliosis
There are many drugs that can be used to treat trees: nitrophen, copper sulfate, iron sulfate, foundationol, Bordeaux liquid and many other fungicides. It is important to pay attention to the air temperature at which the spraying can be carried out. Calculate the dosage strictly according to the instructions so as not to harm the plants.
If treatment with chemicals is undesirable for any reason, folk remedies can be used, but, unfortunately, they are not always effective.
