Specialists recommend a protective spraying in the fall. This day should be without rain, dry and frost-free. At a time when the trees are flowering, fruiting and ripening, they do not need protection from various small pests. How and what to spray the garden in the fall, you can learn from this article.

Preparation of plants for processing

In winter, insects are looking for a cushy place to sit out the cold season. Such places are fallen leaves, bark and soil. Consequently, the spraying of fruit trees should be carried out in the autumn period.

Such an action will help save the trees from scab, blotches, putrefactive diseases and other misfortunes. Due to the fact that under the bark of plants that are not processed, bacteria multiply much faster, the vegetative process slows down.

After winter, the plants slowly "wake up" and their processing is important  in the fall. Before spraying trees in the fall, they need to be prepared.

Preparation and processing is carried out in several stages and depends on the age of the seedlings:

1. If the plants are over six years old, then you must first remove the old bark and lichen with a metal brush. This is done so that pathogens of various diseases do not have the opportunity to hide.
2. As soon as everything is removed from the trees, spraying is carried out. The latest spraying should be done after all the leaves have fallen. You can still do this after the first frost. First you need to remove all the leaves, branches and weeds that have fallen.

How to handle garden trees

How to spray fruit trees in the fall? Fruit garden plants best protect solutions from urea, iron or copper sulphate. Each solution is directed to a specific type of threat.

And so the spraying of plants can not be done only one drug. Means is selected depending on what result is needed. Experts recommend doing this procedure in late October.

inkstone

This preparation processes and feeds fruit trees, such as apples, plums, cherries and peaches. After processing plants get a lot of beneficial trace elements  and iron. Also, after the procedure, oxidative processes are improved.

If it is not enough, the quantity and quality of the crop decreases. Prepare a solution of ferrous sulfate is easy. You need to mix one kg of dry powder with 15 liters of water.

Copper sulfate

If you do not know how to spray the trees in the fall, use copper sulfate. This drug, which has a fungicide in its composition, does not allow the appearance of putrefying diseases, powdery mildew, scab, and spotting.

Plum this drug protects against moniliosis, coccomycosis, klyasterposa  and kinks. For pears and apples provides a protective reaction against monioiosis, scab and phyllossticosis.

If the trees in the garden are not older than six years, then use up to two liters of copper sulfate solution per seedling. If the plant is older, then use up to ten liters.

It is best to sprinkle fruit trees in the garden. in the morning or evening. The temperature should be from +5 to +30 degrees, and it is also not desirable that there is a wind.

Urea Garden Treatment

It is recommended to spray urea plants in the garden as the first or last stage in preparation for winter. The first spraying should be done with a high concentration of funds. Such an action kills all pest larvae.

Saplings in the garden are treated in the fall after half the leaves fall off. To do this, make a solution - 10 liters of water and 500 g of urea. When all foliage is on the trees, the solution is made more concentrated by 7%.

Need to process trunks, branches and ground. This excellent protection of trees and their fertilizer. Just do not overdo it with the preparation of the solution, if it is too concentrated, the leaves will burn and fall off sooner than necessary.

As a result, the flow of nutrients will decrease and the frost resistance of fruit trees will decrease.

Nuances of autumn garden processing

Plants in the garden are sprayed using a handheld or mechanized apparatus. This device evenly sprays the drug and protects the person from contact with the latter. Regardless of the principle of the device, they all have spray pump.

Mechanical models differ from manual ones in usability and cost differences. Mechanical - much more convenient, but more expensive. Treating trees with a handheld machine requires periodic paging.

When there are wounds and cracks in the trees, then in addition to lime, the following means must also be used:

• cow dung;
• finely chopped straw.

There is another way to protect trees - garden pitch. You can make it yourself or buy it in a store. To prepare you need 100 g of rosin and 200 g of beeswax.

These products should be melted separately, then mixed together and add 100 g of unsalted fat to the mixture. Before filling the cracks, the garden warmer must be heated.

In the southern regions in the fall, the trees should be cut, and in the north - such an action will lead to the freezing of the plant.

Experts recommend a protective spraying just the same in the autumn season. It is especially important that on this day there was a moderate humidity of the air, preferably the sun was shining and there was no wind or frost. A couple of days after the treatment, precipitation in the form of rain or snow is also undesirable. It should be remembered that during the period of fruiting and flowering trees do not need protection from small pests and diseases. On the correct processing of trees in the fall for the winter you will learn from our article.

Plant preparation

With the arrival of autumn, insects begin to actively look for a new place of residence for wintering, in order to sit out the cold season in a warm place. Such places are soil, bark and fallen leaves. Based on this, can concludethat the treatment of trees from insects should be in the autumn period.

These actions allow you to save the trees from putrid diseases, blotches, scab and other misfortunes. The vegetative process can also be slowed down due to the fact that under the untreated bark of plants various bacteria actively multiply, causing the above diseases. Therefore, a thorough spraying of the bark is important not only to protect against pests, but also against most diseases. This procedure will preserve the quality and quantity of the crop for the next year..

Plants after winter hibernation wake up very slowly, so autumn processing is of great importance, however, first of all, they need to be specially prepared for this procedure. Treating trees and preparatory stage  occurs in several steps, which depend on the age of the seedlings:

The spraying procedure itself is uncomplicated. It is enough to observe the dose of the substance indicated on the package to the preparation and carefully process each branch.

How to process fruit trees

What is the best way to spray fruit plants in the fall? For many years, professional gardeners have recommended that copper sulfate and be used for garden processing in the autumn season for diseases and pests. Each of these solutions has a narrow focus, which we, of course, will discuss in our article.

It is not recommended to spray trees with only one type of preparation against a specific type of threat. Most often, the tool is selected based on the result that it should bring. Horticultural Specialists  recommend spraying fruit plants at the end of October.

inkstone

Processing garden iron sulphate in the autumn is very important. The drug is used for external processing of fruit plants, as well as feeding trees, such as peaches, cherries, plums, apples. Plants after processing receive a lot of micronutrients and, of course, iron. Also, these procedures can improve the oxidative processes in the soil.

With a lack of such an important trace element, the amount of the harvest can be significantly reduced. Solution of ferrous sulfate is very easy to prepare with your own hands. It is enough to dilute 1 kg of dry powder in a 16-liter bucket of water.

Copper sulfate

Cultivation of copper sulfate in the autumn is just as important as spraying trees with it. This preparation contains in its composition, which, in turn, does not allow the appearance of spots, scab, powdery mildew and various putrefactive diseases on fruits.

Handle plants with copper sulfate  Experts recommend autumn and spring. In the autumn season it is necessary to spray apples, pears and plums. The processing of other fruit plants can also be positive, but it is not at all necessary to do this, unlike the above-mentioned crops. In the spring, the first treatment is carried out before the opening of the buds with leaves.

This drug protects plums from:

• curly;
• klyasterosporioza;
• coccomycosis;
• monilioz and other unpleasant misfortunes.

Apple trees and pears treated with blue vitriol will be further protected from phyllostiktosai, scab and moniliasis.

If the majority of garden trees are no more than six years old, then for one such seedling it will be sufficient to use two liters of the solution of this preparation. For older plants it is allowed to use up to ten liters of copper sulfate solution.

Spraying in the garden is best in the morning or evening. The optimum air temperature for the procedure should not exceed 30 ° C, but should not be below 5 ° C. It is also recommended to wait out the windy weather. since even a small gust of wind  able to carry sprayed the drug far beyond the garden area.

Urea

It is recommended to use urea for spraying garden plants as the last and first stage of garden preparation for winter. Make the first spraying should be a solution of high concentration. This action will not only kill all insects, but also destroy all the deposited larvae of pests.

In the spring season, saplings are allowed to be processed only after at least half of the leaves have fallen from the trees. To do this, you need to do it yourself a solution consisting of 500 grams of urea and 10 liters of water. As soon as the trees completely drop all the remaining foliage, the seedlings should be treated with a more concentrated solution, increasing the urea dose by 7% (535 grams per 10 liters).

It is necessary to process the land, branches and trunks. Such a procedure is not only a great way to get rid of annoying insects, but also a good fertilizer for plants. Only you should not overdo it during the preparation of the solution, because if the preparation is too concentrated, the leaves can get chemical burns, as a result of which they will fall off prematurely. As a result, often there is a decrease in the amount of useful substances that come to the plant, as well as the frost resistance of the fruit plant.

Spraying nuances

When spraying plants in the garden, be sure to use a mechanized or manual apparatus. This device can evenly spray the solution on all parts of the plant, as well as protect the person from contact with chemistry. Regardless of how complicated the principle of operation is for your device, they all have spraying pumps.

By difference in cost and usability, manual and mechanical models differ significantly. Mechanical - are considered much more convenient to use, but also cost much more expensive. When processing plants with a handheld device  you will have to periodically pump up the drug with your own hands, however, it is more than paying for the relatively low cost of this product.

If there are cracks and wounds in the trees, in addition to lime, it is desirable to use the following means:

• finely chopped straw;
• cow dung.

These components are mixed together, after which the composition is used to treat the affected areas. This procedure will help save the plant from cracking..

There is also another, less well-known way to protect garden plants - garden var. It can be purchased at the garden store or cook it yourself. To create it, you will need to use 200 g of beeswax and about 100 g of rosin.

The products are melted separately, and then mixed with the addition of 100 g of fat (unsalted) to the mixture. It is recommended to warm up the garden water before filling the cracks to a temperature of 50 ° C.

Pruning

In the southern regions of Russia, trees need to be pruned in autumn, while in the northern regions, such an action can easily lead to the freezing of the plant. Immediately after the last harvest has been removed, it is recommended to prune the branches of the fruit plants. However, before this, it is important to make sure that there are no fruits on the ground, since they may eventually cause rot, which will infect the soil. It is also recommended to remove all fallen leaves.  before carrying out the trimming procedure.

From the healthy remnants of the fruit it will be possible to make humus. To do this, you will need to dig a small hole in the corner of the plot, and then use it to eject all the organic parts. After a few years, fine humus will form there, which will perfectly serve as a fertilizer for any part of your garden.

Council If you find damaged leaves or diseased fruits, bury them away from the garden plot or burn them.

After the earth has been removed, a cloth or film is laid on the ground so that insects and their larvae do not fall into the soil. After that, it is very important to carefully examine the bark. It will be necessary to use clamps to clean the surface, after which to cover the gaps and existing wounds with garden pitch so that they do not get harmful microbes.

If there is a possibility of a sharp decrease in temperature or you do not live in the southern regions, then pruning is better not to, otherwise the bark at the cut may freeze, causing the plant to die. In all other cases, pruning should start with the removal of all infected, curves and dry branches, and then burn them away from the garden.

Also on old trees every few years, it is recommended to carry out anti-aging pruning. This procedure will allow you to invigorate the plants and enhance their growth, which will positively affect fruiting.

Frost protection

Tying trees is a traditional way to protect trees from frost.. The following materials are best for this:

• sunflower;
• reed;
• raspberries;
• spruce branches;
• ruberoid (under it encloses the fabric so that it does not touch the bark).

After the trunk has been lined with material, it must be firmly tied up so that young plants are not transferred. A good option would be to use a metal mesh, which not only allows you to keep the shape of insulation well, but also does not harm the plant. You should also pour a little soil under the structure so that the mice could not get inside the insulation.

In order to carry out the correct processing of the garden plot from pests and the preparation of plants for winter, it is recommended to watch several training videos that can be found on the Internet.

Have you ever paid attention to urban plantings? All of them do not look very aesthetically pleasing: various bugs, branches and foliage have an unhealthy appearance on the trunks. It's all about the wrong care and failure to perform such an important procedure as tree processing in autumn. Why this event is held, as well as what means to use we will talk in this article.

If you are not looking for information on this issue, but professional gardeners who are ready to work instead of you on the site, you have come to the right place. We offer the following services: processing of bushes and trees in the fall, preparing the garden for the winter, autumn feeding. We will provide quality care for every plant! Call! :)

Autumn work

Processing trees in the garden in the autumn has the following functions:

• Extermination of pests;
• Fight against pathogens;
• Defense against winter pests (hares, mice) and frost protection.

These tasks are solved by carrying out several procedures:

• spraying;
• whitewash;
• installation of protective equipment.

Treating trees and shrubs in the fall for disease prevention  - this is spraying plants with fungicides. If you do not hold this event, microorganisms (pathogens) can spread to all plantations. Warm, wet weather contributes to the rapid proliferation of bacteria. If the garden is not sprayed in time, in the spring it will suffer from various diseases and fungi.

Mandatory procedure in the care of the garden is treating trees in the fall against pests. Just at this time, insects are going to hibernate. They set up a winter lodging for the night in the bark of plants, on branches, in tree trunks. For the destruction of most species of bugs enough to sanitary pruning and digging pristvolnyh circles. For the destruction of insects hiding in the pores of the old bark whitewashing of boles is carried out.

Treating tree trunks in autumn includes the following procedures:

• cleaning bridges of old bark with a scraper or a metal brush;
• treatment of injuries (putty garden pitch);
• whitewash special whitening composition.

Such processing will destroy the "nest" and burn the eggs and pupae of insects. For efficiency, insecticides are added to the composition for whitewashing.

Treating trees in the fall for the winter includes installation of heaters on shtaby -  this is the weakest point of the plant, if the tree gets frostbite on the trunk, the chances of its survival will be close to zero. In order to protect the plant, the trunk is wrapped with roofing paper or roofing felt (height is about 1 m), in especially frosty areas it is recommended to lay a strip of burlap or straw between the roofing felt and bark.

Provide rodent safety  very simple:

• spread poisonous baits in the garden (save from mice);
• wind the boles over the "fur coat" with barbed wire (protection against hares).

Processing trees in the fall video

Many gardeners tend to use as little chemical as possible to control pests of fruit trees. Find out what control measures and folk remedies will protect the crop in the garden.

Work on the protection of the garden from pests can be divided into autumn-winter and spring-summer.

Autumn and winter garden work

1. After harvesting, collect the whole carrion under the trees and destroy it.
2. Treat the plants with a 2-3% solution of copper sulphate.
3. Put on the shtamb hunters belts and before the onset of constant cold, systematically check them for the presence of pests that hibernated.
4. In the spring, spray trees with 3% Bordeaux liquid (before budding).
5. With the onset of warm weather, collect and burn traps belts, destroy weeds.

Protection of the garden from pests in spring and summer

Many garden and wild field plants are excellent pest control products. Of these, concentrates are prepared in advance, and then working solutions for spraying. In solutions and infusions add green or ordinary soap for better adhesion.

For the first early spring spraying (phase of a closed bud, the beginning of leaf blooming) prepare the following infusion: 1/3 of a 3-liter container fill in equal parts the husks of onion, garlic, autumn nut leaves, add 2 tbsp. shag or tobacco. Mix the mixture with boiling water. Let sit for 7-10 days, then strain. If necessary, the concentrate can be diluted in 10-12 liters of water and treated trees. It is also a good preventative remedy for pests that damage buds.

With the advent of young leaves  The most dangerous pest of the garden is aphid (green, red, black). You can process the crowns of the trees with the same solution or prepare decoctions of autumn leaves of walnut or tobacco, extracts of yarrow herb or wormwood.

After flowering apple, plum, cherry, pear  You can prepare and use a concentrate prepared from the autumn leaves of the nut, which is prepared in the fall. Fill the metal barrel with 2/3 leaves, carefully compact and fill with boiling water, close and leave until spring. This is the mother liquor, 1 l of which must be diluted in 10 l of water and only after that sprinkle the trees. The procedure is repeated twice with an interval of 7-10 days.

You can also use infusion of yarrow herb or wormwood, which destroys not only aphidbut also   ticks, caterpillars moth, scoop, sucker, sawflies, weevils  and other pests. Concentrate prepare from a mixture of 1 kg of dry grass and 5 liters of hot water, let it brew for 1-2 days and then boil for 0.5 hours. After cooling, strain, add 10 liters of water. Spray the trees twice in 7-10 days.

To combat aphid larvae  can be used tops of tomatoes. Finely chop 4 kg of fresh (2 kg dry) tops of tomatoes, put them in a container and pour 10 liters of cold water for 0.5 hours, then stir this mixture, stirring for another 0.5 hours. Strain the cooled broth, add 5 liters of water and a little soap, carefully spray the crowns from the top to the base of the trunk.

If during the growing season appeared   thrips, small caterpillars, aphids, slugs, suckers process plants infusion or decoction of hot pepper. It is advisable to prepare them in advance, since the subsequent insistence lasts at least 10 days. To prepare an infusion concentrate, cut 1 kg of dry pepper pods, cover with hot water, close and leave for 10 days. Dilute 100-150 g of concentrate in 10 liters of water. Faster preparing the broth. To do this, grind 1 kg of raw materials, pour 10 liters of water and boil for 2 hours. Strain the cooled broth, dilute 2 times with water. Spray the trees with this solution.

To any infusions and decoctions of pests over time develops addiction. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare several compositions of decoctions in advance and apply them alternately.

Autumn time is a difficult period for gardeners: in addition to harvesting late varieties, pruning plants must be prepared and prepared for winter. But most importantly - it is necessary to process the garden. What is this procedure, why is it needed, what drugs are best to apply, i.e., how to process the garden in autumn - this and many other things further.

Autumn processing: a few rules and principles

During the season you need to make several treatments orchard. For this, not only folk remedies are usually used, but also more effective and aggressive chemicals. Therefore, to protect themselves, each gardener must prepare protective equipment: gloves, respirator, gown.

Not only in spring, but also in autumn, the garden must be fed and fertilized against pests.

Why do we need all these tools, if you can just then wash your hands, your face from the drops falling on them?

1. Respirator protects the respiratory system.
2. Glasses will not let the solution spray onto the mucous membrane of the eye.
3. Closed clothing will not allow the drug to get on the body - the components of any drug can cause allergic reactions even when their packaging indicates that the drug has a low risk.
4. During the procedure, you can not drink water, smoke.
5. Use for dilution of solutions food utensils is unacceptable.
6. Dispose of the remnants of any funds needed only in those places that are not accessible to pets, birds and children. Pouring them with storm sewers or into the compost pit is also impossible.

It is very important to know that the treatment should be carried out with an eye to the weather: if it is raining, wind, or just slush, no work can be carried out. It is better to wait for a dry and windless day and only then do everything you need.

How many times to process trees per season?

Pears, apples, plums are processed several times per season.

But these are only approximate terms: if the trees become sick or a pest appears, then experienced gardeners recommend not to adhere to the described schedule, but to treat the damaged trees immediately.

If there are no diseases, then a late treatment should be carried out no earlier than November, otherwise the procedure will cause premature abscission of the leaves, which will significantly weaken the trees.

How to prepare the plants for the procedure?

The most popular type of fertilizer is spraying.

For the winter, all insects are looking for a place where they can sit out the cold time. So for them "warm place" is the soil, bark, fallen leaves. To destroy these unpleasant inhabitants of the garden a better time than autumn is not found. Scab, spotting, putrid diseases and many other misfortunes will go away if the garden is processed in the autumn period. If you do not carry out the treatment procedure, then pests will remain under the bark. Their presence in the spring will slow down the vegetative process significantly, and the trees will wake up much later.

But in order for the work to be carried out qualitatively and give the desired effect, it is necessary to prepare the trees first. The preparatory process depends on how old the seedlings are and is done like this:

1. Trees older than 6 years are brushed with lichens and old bark. This is necessary in order to expose the places where pathogens of various diseases hide, and they did not have the opportunity to hide.
2. Immediately after completing the procedure, spray the trees.

The last spraying should be done when the leaves fall off completely. It is advisable to do this after the frost comes. But first, be sure to clean the garden from weeds, branches and foliage, so that the remaining pests in the winter did not crawl out of shelters.

The choice of means: what to prefer?

For autumn spraying of the orchard, several drugs are considered the best. This - copper or iron sulphate (popular treatment of copper sulphate), urea. Which one to choose depends on the type of threat. But as the garden usually affects not one, but several types of pests, it is desirable to spray the plants need not one drug, but several. This is a preventive treatment from pests.

You need to handle not only the trunk and branches, but also the soil near the tree - this will be both protection and fertilizer at the same time. When preparing the solution, it is impossible to violate the indicators indicated on the package: when using too concentrated solution during the first treatment, the leaves will get burned. Because of this, they fall off earlier and the plants receive less of the substances they need, which is fraught with a decrease in frost resistance of fruit trees.

Autumn garden processing

For spraying, every gardener acquires a specialized apparatus. It can be manual or mechanical. They differ in the principle of work and cost. Which of them work more conveniently? Of course, the mechanical apparatus, as when working with a manual counterpart, it is necessary to periodically pump it up.

For more effective protection of the garden from pests it is necessary to lime the trees so that the bark remains at least 3 mm thick. In addition, you need to pour plenty of water and the ground around each plant.

To prepare a solution for whitewashing can be of the following components:

1. Lime (3 kg).
2. Casein glue (80 gr).
3. Copper sulphate (0.5 kg)
4. Water. It should be so much so that the mixture of density was close to sour cream.

There is another solution preparation solution. It is necessary to take

1. One kg of clay.
2. Two kg of hydrated lime.
3. Copper vitriol 250g.
4. Cow dung

Dilute to creamy thickness. Also whitewash can be done with acrylic or water-based paints.

Thanks to the whitewash on the trees, a layer is formed that will not let in pests, insects, various microorganisms that are carriers of different viruses. To increase the effectiveness of whitewash, you can add various insecticides to the solution.

If there are cracks and wounds on the tree, other means will be needed besides using lime:

1. Mix chopped straw with cow dung and apply this compound to the damage. This will prevent further cracking and help to heal the damage.
2. Use a garden bar to handle damage. If it is not at hand, then you can prepare the tool yourself, by melting separately beeswax (200 g) and rosin (100 g). Then both components are mixed, unsalted fat (100g) is added, and the treatment is carried out with warm agent.

For autumn spraying, you must use special fertilizers and poisons.

Chemicals - how to use them and whether?

How to process a garden in the fall

Illiterate use of chemicals in the garden can lead to the fact that shrubs and trees will die, and the land will become unsuitable for the coming years to grow not only garden plants, but also garden plants. Therefore, the use of chemicals in the treatment of trees and bushes for beginners should be careful. Read also the article: → "How to get rid of scab on a pear"

Chemical preparations that can be used to treat plants for fungi or bacterial diseases are insecticides and fungicides. Which ones can be used for certain diseases? The information in the table below will help to understand the application:

Drug name		Purpose	Application features
"Fungaflor"	Fungicide	For removal of powdery mildew, klyasterosporioza, scab, fruit rot and other diseases	3 grams of the drug is used per 10 liters of liquid. Each tree consumes from 2 to 5 liters of solution, depending on its height.
Aktara	Insecticide	To combat various insects, effective at any stage of their development.	The solution should be prepared only in open space.
"Extra-Konfidor"	Systemic insecticide	Used to combat various sucking and gnawing pests.	The solution is prepared in strict accordance with the instructions.
Benomil	Systemic fungicide. Differs in a wide spectrum of action.	Used in the fight against disease. It can also serve as a prophylactic agent. Recommended for use in all climatic zones.	Can be combined with insecticides, fungicides, growth regulators, pesticides.
"Inta-Vir"	Insecticide	It is an effective remedy against lepidoptera, even-winged, coleoptera.	One tablet is dissolved in 50 ml of water, and then the volume is adjusted to 10 liters.

If the tool has not been previously used and it is not known how the plants will react to it, it is necessary to conduct its test for harm. It consists in the following:

1. Spray several branches with a new tool.
2. To spend a week their inspection.
3. If spots, signs of death or similar other manifestations are found, the remedy cannot be used.

Pruning is an important part of autumn garden care.

Spraying should be done with extreme caution.

This action depends on the location of the site. For example, for the northern regions pruning in the fall is undesirable - because of this, the plants will weaken and may freeze. In the southern regions, for example in the Crimea, it is possible not only autumn, but also winter pruning of trees. It is especially important to cut at this time young plants, and, you need to remove only those branches that interfere with others.

Experts recommend to observe the longline in the process of pruning, which is very important for obtaining subsequently high-quality fruit. Longline is a phenomenon in which the higher the branches are located, the thinner they should be and vice versa, but in no case the branches below should be thinner than those below. This is an anomaly and such a plant will not give good fruit. See also: → "How to cut a walnut? Scheme, rules and terms "

Preparing for the winter: tying trees

All the above procedures are a preparatory complex, the purpose of which is to prepare a garden for the winter period. But the list of measures taken will be incomplete, and sometimes ineffective without tying. So called the procedure of tying tree trunks with branches of spruce or raspberry before the onset of frost. If they are not, you can use roofing felt, metal mesh, film.

Before fertilizing the soil, it is necessary to prepare for this.

Then around the resulting design spit earth. It is necessary that no rodent could harm the tree. In addition, due to the harness in the spring from the influence of the first sunlight will not appear on plants burns. When it snows in the winter, you can pour strapping on them. If there is a lot of snow, it can be additionally compacted around the trees to provide a greater heat balance. Processing of the garden in the Crimea is made taking into account the usual lack of snow.

If rodents at the dacha are frequent guests, then autumn processing includes the installation of baits, traps, traps. When frosts recede, strapping structures must be removed. To do this, it is advisable to view the weather forecast and choose a cloudy day, so that the crust adapts to the sunlight. See also: → "Planting fruit trees in the fall"

The most common mistakes beginners

There are several important points that every newcomer must know about, including three garden processing errors:

1. Do not process before the leaves fall. If this happens, the next year is unlikely to wait for a good harvest.
2. When winding trees, in order to protect them from frost in the northern areas, they enclose straw, hay, old jackets, etc. This is not the case, as in these materials the mouse can start, and they will definitely destroy the tree.
3. You can not use new drugs without conducting a preliminary check on the reaction of plants.
4. No need to purchase products for processing without a label, for bottling even from a familiar seller - no one will give a guarantee that exactly the means that was named by the seller is purchased. What effect will be, too, can not be foreseen. So is it worth the risk - to save some money you can lose the garden.
5. If you didn’t have to do pruning before, you need to contact an experienced neighbor gardener for help and not experiment yourself.

Answers to questions about how to handle a garden in the fall

Question number 1. Is it possible to fertilize the soil in the fall with manure?

Can. If there is such a need. Usually, in the fall, fertilizer is aimed at eliminating plant diseases and eliminating pests. Therefore, special, professional fertilizers are most often used.

Question number 2. Is it possible to spray in the rain?

Not. If you spend spraying in the rain, the poison quickly wash off. Therefore, despite the bad weather in autumn, it is better to choose a day without precipitation. If it so happens that the rain will fall the next day, then you can not worry, the necessary amount of substance is already absorbed into the plant.

After harvesting, it is important to correctly prepare the plants for wintering. Timely and proper treatment of the garden from pests and diseases in the autumn is a guarantee of active fruiting of trees and shrubs in the next season. Get acquainted with the terms, stages and methods of processing and protection of garden plants, effective preparations and folk recipes, adopt the experience of experienced gardeners and expert advice.

Why process the garden in autumn

Many novice gardeners ask whether it is necessary in the fall to cultivate a garden from pests and fight diseases. Perhaps this period is the most important if you are striving to get a big harvest of fruits and berries. If you miss the time, the pests will have time to hide in the "winter apartments". After that, they do not smoke out.

The plot is ready for wintering.

Insects hiding under the foliage, inside the dried twigs, cracked bark, buried deep into the soil of the trunk circle.

The list of works that are coming in the fall is impressive:

• cleaning of fallen leaves, garbage;
• digging the land;
• fertilization;
• trimming;
• whitewash;
• spraying;
• tying trunks from rodents.

Cleaning the foliage in the garden

The annual autumn garden treatment of pests and diseases begins a month before the onset of frost. At the same time, it is necessary to wait until the end of the leaf fall, otherwise fallen leaves will nullify all the efforts made. Land digging is aimed at fighting insects that winter in the upper soil layer.

Soil fertilization is carried out with mineral fertilizers or rotting organic matter. This will be a good foundation for future harvest. Before wintering the garden should be properly fertilized with potash and phosphate fertilizers.

Pruning of trees and shrubs is carried out according to the existing rules for each culture. The main principle - "that was beautiful." The branches should not interfere with each other, do not grow inside the crown.

Whitewashing is necessary in order to lime to affect the spores of fungi and bacteria. In fact, there is a decontamination of trunks and branches.

The annual spraying of the garden from pests overwintering plants on plants in the fall is a mandatory agrochemical method of protecting the garden from pests and diseases in the fall for any competent gardener.

Autumn pruning of trees

Hares, small rodents - lovers of the tender bark of young trees can cause great harm. Frequent fences around the garden are good for hares. From mice - traps, rammed snow, tying trees with various materials.

Dates of autumn garden processing

The answer to the important question - when to carry out autumn garden processing from diseases and pests, in different regions of the country is different. The country is huge, many climatic zones, where the leaves fall not at the same time. It is necessary to focus on the time of complete falling off of leaves from trees and shrubs.

Preparation for gardening

The first autumn works fall on the end of September or the beginning of October. The main purpose of garden processing from pests and diseases in September is to save the plants from insects, their larvae, rodents, and also to disinfect fungi and bacteria.

Dried leaves, weeds, cut dried branches rake one place away from the garden and burn or send to deep compost pits. Deep, so that the pests could not get out and settle down in the trees again. There are recommendations - to bury the foliage in pristvolny circles for additional power. This is absolutely wrong advice.

Masking the compost pit in the form of an arbor

Insects arrange egg-laying on the underside of the leaves. When a tree sheds them, the pupae that appear remain to hibernate under the leaves. And if you bury dry foliage, then this creates all the conditions for a comfortable wintering to those from whom you would like to save your plantings. Therefore, the consequences of leaf fall are removed, burned, or sent to compost away from the garden.

It should not be left in the tree wheel straw, as it attracts rodents. There is a risk of endangering the bark of young trees that mice are so fond of.

Various agrotechnical, agrochemical methods of struggle are carried out at different times. Chemical treatment of the garden in the late fall against pests is carried out before the onset of stable frosts, after the foliage has completely fallen.

Digging the garden in autumn

One of the simplest, but effective methods is digging the soil. The land of garden plantings should be loose, fertilized all year round, but it is autumn digging that matters most.

In the autumn, they dig up the ground not only to loosen it, but to turn over the layer of soil. After the insects and their larvae have settled down to sleep, it is necessary to dig up, turn over the layers of the earth so that the nests are on the surface, and the frost completes the work.

Digging pristvolnyh circles required

In addition to the destruction of insects, autumn processing of the garden from pests and diseases gives another effect - when turning over, the upper nutrient layer of the soil is closer to the roots, which facilitates the delivery of the necessary nutrition.

It is necessary to dig up with care, without damaging the roots, which are close to the surface - 5–15 cm. The process is carried out not with a shovel, which can cut the root system, but with forks, keeping them parallel to the direction of the roots. It is not recommended to break clods of earth, so moisture from rains is better preserved, snow is being retained. In between rows you need to dig a depth of 15–20 cm, and according to the crown projection no deeper than 10–15 cm.

Spraying as pest control

At a later time, after the whitening, digging, you should proceed to the chemical treatment of fruit plantations. Timely processing of the garden in October from pests and diseases will be a good investment in the future harvest. Some drugs are also fertilizer for plants.

Spraying autumn garden

The treatment is carried out with various pesticides, since not all the preparations are affected equally by different types of insects and diseases. It is necessary to observe the sequence, the timing of treatments, so as not to harm the plants themselves.

Processing garden in the fall according to the rules

The best time is the period of the end of leaf fall. When digging the soil, whitewashing the trunks, already cleaned in the compost holes of the foliage, dry branches, you can begin to treat trees and shrubs with agrochemical means.

Home processing equipment

A few years ago, the choice of a sprayer was not difficult. There were several models on sale. Now on the market a large variety of these products. When buying, you should consider the design features, the length of the "rod" of the device. In addition to producing sprayers of various tanks, they are divided into types:

• rechargeable;
• petrol;
• pump action;
• lever.

Garden spraying with knapsack sprayer

Make wheel and backpack spray guns. Knapsack - more comfortable, you can climb right on the tree. With the help of a wheel sprayer with a volumetric tank, a large area of ​​the garden is treated without refueling; all trees and shrubs are sprayed.

Knapsack sprayers are divided into lever and pump action. Lever more convenient, as they allow pumping the solution manually, without removing the spray from the shoulders. When buying a spraying machine, one should pay attention to the “boom” of the mechanism. The longer it is, the better. There are vehicles with a length of "fishing rod" and a half meters. They are acquired and experienced gardeners.

In addition to the sprayer itself, for working on the garden from pests in late autumn, you will need:

• ladder;
• respiratory mask or gauze medical dressing;
• gloves;
• glasses so that aggressive solution does not get on the skin or mucous membranes.

DIY Handling Rules

Breeders are constantly working on the breeding of new varieties of horticultural crops resistant to pests. But there are very few of them so far, so gardeners are forced to watch their plantings vigilantly, periodically sprinkle them with preparations to treat the garden in the fall against pests and diseases - their natural enemies.

After harvesting, each gardener must decide for himself what to treat the garden from diseases and pests in the fall and what lines to do. It is necessary to prepare in advance the inventory and preparations for work on chemical plant protection.

If you start processing on an overcast day, there is a risk that it will rain and wash away the preparations. A huge amount of work will be wasted. When the wind is also likely that a large number of pesticides will not go where you want. It is dangerous for humans. A gust of wind can splash the solution on your face, burn your eyes, skin.

Aphid - a pest of garden crops

Spraying is carried out to combat:

1. Insects:

• caterpillars;
• larvae;
• butterflies;
• beetles

1. Diseases:

• coccomycosis;
• monilioz;
• bitter rot;
• leaf curl and other.

Monilioz Cherry

The huge variety of misfortunes on fruit crops does not allow the gardener to release his pets from the attention for a single day. But he has a whole arsenal of opportunities for war with a voracious army of pests.

Tools for processing garden plants

The main thing is to choose the right way to better treat the garden against pests in the fall with the greatest effect. There are a lot of pests and diseases in garden plantings; therefore, they are also treated with several preparations.

The drug Urea (urea)

Urea is also a nitrogen fertilizer. Take 500 g of urea, diluted in 10 liters of water. White crystals dissolve quickly, have no smell. This solution is treated trunks, branches, near-stem circles. The treatment is carried out as close as possible to frost, since nitrogen gives an impetus to the growing season, the growth of green parts of plants. And before winter it is no good.

Bordeaux liquid - the most commonly used drug in the fight against fungal, mold formations. 200 g of copper sulphate is diluted with 10 liters of water, then poured into a solution of hydrated lime, which is prepared by razbaltyvaniem 200 g of lime in a ten-liter bucket of water. Carefully stir, pour the product into the sprayer and proceed to work.

Spraying bordeaux liquid

The autumn garden treatment for diseases and pests of copper sulfate from spotting, powdery mildew, scab, and moniliosis is very effective. Traditionally, they are processed planting pears, apples, plums. A solution of copper sulfate is prepared as follows: 100 g of granules are taken, diluted in 10 liters of water, and trunks and branches are sprayed with this fungicide.

Iron sulfate is a multifunctional preparation used on plantations of peach, apricot, cherry, cherry, apple. With its help they get rid of cytosporosis, scab, black cancer.

The rigorous treatment of the garden in the fall with iron sulfate performs two functions at once - treating and feeding the plants; this is a valuable source of iron, stimulating metabolic processes in the cells. The solution is prepared according to the following scheme: 1 kg of the powder is dissolved in 15 liters of water.

inkstone

Fungicides - colloidal sulfur, polychrome, chorus is used against coccomycosis, leaf curl, moniliosis, mildew on grapes. Well proven in the fight against rodents and sucking pests.

A wide range of pesticides includes other tools for treating the garden from pests and diseases in the autumn, which are used with special precautions.

Whitewashing trees in the garden

Video: Autumn whitewashing of trees in the garden

One of the simplest, but important ways to combat diseases and pests in the fall - whitewash, falls on the deadlines for the end of September. With the help of a simple way to destroy pathogens - fungal spores and bacteria. Also, insect eggs already deposited along the cracks of the bark are burned out.

So, whitewashing shtambov do it yourself:

• cleaning of trunks, branches from old bark, dry branches;
• smearing garden wounds, damages;
• whitewash.

Whitewashing garden plantings

Having laid a film or fabric under a tree so that the larvae do not fall on the soil, it is necessary to proceed to the processing of trunks and lower branches. On old trees, dead tissue, lichens, and moss are scraped with a special scraper. For young people, this procedure is best done by hand, so as not to damage the delicate bark.

Important! If the bark of the trees is not processed in the fall, then it becomes a breeding ground for diseases, which will significantly delay the start of vegetation in the spring.

Removal of old bark

All wounds, cracks should be disinfected, covered with garden pitch. Then whitewash the trees to a height of one and a half meters with a large brush.

Thus, they get rid of the bud moth, rust, gall midge, spider mite, currant cushion, powdery mildew, anthracnose and many other pests and diseases. To have time to complete all the work, it is necessary to observe the terms of autumn garden treatment from diseases and pests, using all agrotechnical, agrochemical methods.

Contrary to the advice about painting trees with building mixtures, oil paint, adding clay, alabaster, absolutely definitely cannot be done. The bark is not only an organ that protects the internal structure of the trunk, but also the respiratory organ through which active gas exchange takes place.

Especially young trees suffer from improper whitewashing. They are generally not recommended to whiten. It is better for the winter to tie the shtaby such special materials.

Tree tying technique

Before the onset of steady frosts, young tree trunks should be protected from hares. This is a very important stage of processing the garden in late autumn from pests and rodents, since young plants may even die from damage by mice and hares.

Old trees are protected by a thick layer of dead bark, so there is no need to tie them. And young plants are wrapped with spruce or pine branches, needles down, fixed with roofing felt, tar, oiled paper, cardboard to a height of half a meter in two layers so that there are no cracks. The bottom edge of the strapping is buried in the ground so that rodents do not penetrate from below. Then in two or three places tied with twine, wire, securing the structure.

Binding of a young tree with fir branches

Another interesting way to fight rodents - winding the trunk with old stockings, pantyhose. Why pests do not like elastic is not clear, but the effectiveness of this method has been repeatedly proven.

In winter, trampling of snow is carried out around the trunks to prevent the rodents from passing under the loose snow cover.

Traditional methods of protection of garden plantings

In accordance with all biological laws, insects that pollinate flowers attract strong, viable plants. But the pests attract the weak, the sick, the oppressed. Therefore, the conclusion is extremely simple - it is necessary to create comfortable conditions for the plants in the garden so that they grow strong, withstand stubbornly the army of pests and diseases.

Ways to control pests without chemicals

To this end, work is carried out in time to remove weeds, top dressing (root and non-root), basic fertilization, and regular irrigation. All these agrotechnical techniques contribute to active growth, an increase in protective abilities.

Among the traditional means of processing the garden from pests and diseases in September, the most popular is the manual control of small and large caterpillars, larvae, pupae, and sedentary adults. Good results can be achieved:

• vacuuming the shrubs, in which a dense filter is replaced with a net;
• smearing the plywood sheet with a sticky substance, dragging it over the bushes, pressing it against the plants. Remove pests and destroy them;
• light trap - for nighttime pests. Under a light source to put a weak solution of insecticide or fermented molasses, jam. Hitting the lamp, the insect falls into a liquid where it dies.

You can manually remove the spider moth nest

You can and should use decoctions, infusions of plants that scare away insects or fight against microorganisms - pathogens. This technique eliminates the need to use hazardous pesticides that are poisonous to humans. But extracts from some plants can also be poisonous to humans, therefore it is necessary to follow basic safety techniques when handling them. The treatment is carried out in the fall one or two times.

Use for infusions, decoctions should only special dishes, which subsequently can not be used for cooking people. Marc and residues from infusions should be buried in the ground.

Broths and infusions without added chemicals

Against aphids, spider mites, suckers use garlic infusion. 180–200 g of fresh garlic, ground in a mortar or meat grinder, kept for a day in a bucket of water (10 l).

In case of damage by aphids or spider mites, a good result is shown by the treatment with infusion of dandelion, potato and tomato tops:

1. 200–300 g of dandelion roots or 400 g of green leaves are crushed.
2. Poured into a bucket with 10 liters of water, incubated for two to three hours at a temperature of about 30 degrees.
3. After filtering, add a teaspoon of mustard, diluted soap, pepper.

Aphids afraid of garlic

Against aphids, spider mites, while treating the garden in the autumn, an infusion of tomato or potato tops is intensively working:

1. 600 g of stepsons or leaves are crushed in any convenient way, preferably in a meat grinder.
2. The mass is poured with 10 liters of almost hot water (about 31 degrees), insist three hours, filter.
3. Then add 1 teaspoon of soap, 1 teaspoon of ammonium nitrate, 1 tablespoon of pepper. This solution is sprayed plantings twice in the autumn season.

To combat the leaf-sucking insects, an infusion of common onion is suitable:

1. Onions are crushed with a meat grinder, poured a lot into a bucket of water (10 liters).
2. Add a tablespoon of soda ash.
3. This mixture is scrupulously, methodically treating the plants, making sure that all parts of it are covered with a solution.

Broth onion peel is prepared for spraying

Against aphids, leaf-eating caterpillars, spider mites successfully apply an infusion of onion peel. 200 g of the husk are drawn with 10 liters of water for three to four days, after which the solution is filtered, then it is used to treat the garden one or two times in the fall.

Against suckers, small leaf-sucking pests, aphids, caterpillars successfully use the infusion of hot peppers:

1. 100 g of freshly chopped, chopped pepper pods boil for about an hour over low heat.
2. After that, insist two days in a closed dark glass container.
3. For processing, 50 g of infusion is cast, diluted to 10 liters with water and used for spraying trees and shrubs in the fall.

To work on the garden plot does not become a daily torment, it is necessary to develop a system and frequency of treatments, choose drugs. If you do everything in a planned way, then soon the garden will turn into a paradise, bringing wonderful fruit.

In the fall, in addition to harvesting, summer residents have another important task - preparing the garden for the winter. In order to eat fruits again next year, it is important to properly treat the plants and the soil beneath them from diseases and pests.

Autumn garden processing includes spraying the crown of bushes and trees with insecticides (Aktara, Inta-Vir) and fungicides, digging the soil, applying fertilizers and protecting plants from rodents. With the onset of cold weather, heat-loving crops additionally cover with spunbond and mulch with sawdust, peat, dry leaves and other materials.

Pest Remedies

In early autumn, trapping belts are being removed and burned from trees along with caterpillars of codling moths, weevils and other garden pests. With the onset of cold weather, winter hibernating insects burrow into the soil of tree trunks and under the plant bark, so the first step is to clean the stumps from the old bark, moss and lichen, cover the wounds with garden poultry and whiten the trees with a special solution with copper sulfate.

How to spray bushes and trees in the fall

Among gardeners, the most popular treatment of plants after harvest is 1% Bordeaux liquid. This tool helps to destroy dangerous fungi - pathogens of scab, powdery mildew, rot and other diseases. With the help of a special container under pressure or a spray gun, all fruit trees, berry bushes (including strawberries), as well as perennial ornamental crops are carefully sprayed.

After falling leaves, but not later than the end of October, the crown of bushes and trees and the soil under them are sprayed with a solution of urea (urea). For its preparation, 500-700 g of the drug is diluted in 10 liters of water. This is an excellent prevention of scab and blotch.

Apple orchard can be additionally sprayed with 5% iron sulphate.

Iron sulfate - what is it and what is used in the garden?

All spraying carried out in dry and windless weather and do not forget about safety measures. During the treatment of the garden, the person must be in a respiratory mask, rubber gloves, a protective coat and glasses to protect the eyes from chemicals.

Digging the soil in autumn

When preparing the ground for winter, the first thing to do is to remove all leaves from the site. They can inhabit garden pests and fungal spores (in particular, the causative agents of cholesterol and coccomycosis), so it is not recommended to leave any vegetation on the surface of the earth. After the end of leaf fall and thorough cleaning, they start the autumn digging of the soil.

They dig up the earth with the help of a sharp shovel to a depth of 15-20 cm between the rows and 10-15 cm according to the projection of the crown of shrubs and trees. It is enough to break the not too dense soil with a rake or Fokin flat-cutter.

During this procedure, it is necessary to remove perennial weeds and the larvae of pests that have appeared on the soil surface. Then it is recommended to apply phosphate and potash fertilizers.

Under each adult apple and pear make 300 g of superphosphate and 200 g of potassium sulfate. Fertilizers are buried together with organic matter or poured into a tree trunk circle and poured with water. For plum and cherry preparations must be diluted in a ratio of 3 tbsp. Superphosphate 10 liters of water and 2 tbsp. potassium sulfate per 10 liters of water. Under each adult plant 4-5 buckets of the resulting solution are poured. Thanks to these fertilizers, the winter hardiness of plants will increase.

How to clean the gallbladder from stones folk remedies?

Autumn garden processing for pests and diseases consists of several stages:, digging the soil, cleaning the branches and foliage and spraying the garden. I do not advise to neglect these procedures if the harvest of the next year is dear to you. If you have never done this, this article will help you understand how and when to properly handle the garden.

When and why carry out the treatment?

Embark on autumn processing when trees and shrubs lose foliage. This time falls on the end of September - the beginning of October. To work, choose a dry rainy day, before the onset of the first frost. The main objectives of the autumn processing: to save trees and shrubs from pests and their larvae, pathogens, rodents, as well as to protect plants from frost. Weeds, fallen leaves, cut the branches in a heap, collect and burn beyond the territory of the site. In some sources, I met the advice of digging into the ground scattered leaves of trees and shrubs to provide additional nutrition. I do not advise doing so. Often insects lay the larvae on the lower side of the leaf, by digging them into the ground, you simplify their task. I would also not leave the leaves and straw with a layer of mulch, so as not to attract rodents for wintering. Digging the near-stem circles of the soil by 15-20 cm to get rid of pests and their larvae hibernating in the ground. Perform this procedure carefully, use a rake to avoid injuring the roots of the plants. At two other stages we will stop in more detail.

Whitewashing plant trunks

Whitewashing tree trunks and shrubs will protect the tree from insects and pathogens. Already laid eggs are burned with whitewash. In addition, the treated trunks tolerate frost easier. Before starting work, lay a cloth around the trees. Use a scraper to rid the tree of old bark and moss. Disinfect the surface, wounds and cracks on the trunk handle garden pitch. Apply with a wide brush whitewash in several layers to a height of one and a half meters. Acrylic or water-based paints are sometimes used as whitewash. Special formulations are commercially available. But it is easy to make the solution yourself. To do this, you will need slaked lime, blue vitriol, glue or clay for the bundle and water. When you add carbolic acid to the solution, you will protect the garden from hares and rodents.

Garden spraying

Autumn spraying of shrubs and trees is carried out using three main liquids: urea, copper and iron sulphate. Do not forget about safety: work in the garden in a protective suit, gloves, with a respirator mask. Get comfortable, based on the size of the treated area. 5% urea solution will save the planting from scab. The stem and branches of the plant, as well as the earth around it, are subject to treatment for fungal diseases. But do not forget that urea contains nitrogen. This element starts vegetative processes in trees. In order not to expose the plant to frostbite, spray planting urea as close as possible to cold weather. Treatment with a solution of ferrous sulfate (5-7%) will rid the garden of moss and lichen, in which insects like to lay eggs. In addition, the solution feeds the bark with iron, which helps in oxidative processes and prepares the plant for the winter. Stone and pome crops, grapes, currants and gooseberries from most fungal diseases will save the solution of copper sulfate.

For greater efficiency, lime is added to it and a Bordeaux liquid is obtained. Spraying trees Bordeaux liquid is appropriate in the fall. On the leaves, this solution leaves burns, so its use in spring is dangerous. And in the fall, boldly increase the concentration of the solution to 3%. Treatment with this solution is the final stage in the autumn garden treatment from diseases and pests.

Garden processing will require patience and time from you. But this is a necessary set of procedures, without which you will not have to wait for a healthy harvest.
