What must be done with currant bushes in the spring.

Good afternoon, dear readers of our channel! Today we will tell you what must be done with currant bushes in early spring in order to achieve a good harvest and prevent bush diseases.

First, dry or damaged branches should be pruned. This must be done before the juice runs through the branches. The exact date of trimming is difficult to name, it depends on the weather.

But the air temperature should be at least 3 degrees Celsius. In addition, pruning is also required for those shoots that grow inside the bush and thicken it too much.

If you do not cut out excess branches and shoots, then the berries will be small.

Secondly, you should not neglect the early treatment of shrubs from pests and diseases. We certainly do not want to use chemistry, but without it it is not possible to get a good harvest now.

Moreover, the earlier you carry out the processing, the less harmful substances will enter the body with berries. If you treat the bushes with copper sulfate, then the chance of fungus on the bush will decrease.

The processing rules can be found on the packaging of the drug you are using.

Many people use various folk remedies for pest control.

To get rid of the tick, which often starts in the buds of currants, you should pour boiling water over the shrub, but this must be done before the snow melts.

Thirdly, feeding currants plays a big role in the quantity and quality of the crop.

Experienced gardeners recommend sprinkling urea granules under the bushes, and then sprinkling them with earth. Currants will not refuse nitrogen fertilizers either.

Also, in the first spring month, you can start harvesting cuttings and checking previously expressed young seedlings.

They must be checked for damaged branches and currant mites.

Since the seedlings are small, the pest can be removed manually by removing the infected buds.
