How to care for an apple tree during flowering

The flowering of gardens is not just a beautiful sight, but also the best time to infect fruit trees with diseases such as fruit rot. The disease is fungal. Spores of the fungus are carried by insects and wind, due to which pears and apple trees may well be left without a harvest.

Therefore, experienced gardeners are always ready to fight the spread of moniliosis and other seasonal diseases.

How to protect fruits

In order to protect apple trees, pears, as well as other fruit from the stone family, it is necessary to treat flowering trees with a solution of Bordeaux liquid.

For this purpose, a 1% liquid solution is prepared from 100 g of copper sulfate powder and 150 g of quicklime.

The components are diluted in 10 liters of settled water, after which the trees are treated with a sprayer.

Repeated processing of apple trees is carried out after flowering.

You can buy a ready-made composition - "Fitosporin M", which is diluted in the amount of 2-3 tsp. for the same 10 liters of water. Repeated spraying is carried out after 2 weeks.

Along with this, it is necessary to carry out feeding with complex fertilizers or nitrogen-phosphorus preparations.
