Thus, spraying apple trees helps protect them from aphids, which often form nodules on the tree bark, which subsequently crack and turn into ulcers. If you do not stop the aphids in time, which in addition to apple trees often affects plums, pears, cherry plums and apricots, then the leaves of the tree will begin to curl and then fall off. The tree itself may stop growing and dry out.
And spraying a plum, first of all, is aimed at protecting it from the cockchafer, which eats fruit buds and leaves. The larvae of this insect are especially dangerous for a young orchard, since they severely damage the roots, which can cause plant death.
Spraying pear, apple, plum and cherry trees allows you to save not only leaves, but also ripened fruits from caterpillars and butterflies, thereby preserving the ripening harvest.
Hearing about the benefits of treatment and knowing when to spray trees are two different things. Untimely spray application orchard, will not allow you to achieve the desired result in full at best and will leave you without a harvest at worst. Treatment of fruit trees must be carried out not only when fruits have already formed on them, but also long before that, in early spring, and even after the entire harvest has been harvested and the leaves have fallen - late autumn, and, of course, in the summer, at the height of pest activity.
Based on many years of experience of gardeners, a certain tree spraying calendar has been compiled, which indicates when and with what to spray the trees. That is, based on the collection and systematization of the experience of different gardeners, a certain sequence of actions was established that gives the most best result for harvesting. When compiling such calendars, we take into account not only the start period of the activity, but also what is best to use at this time. For example, the gardener’s calendar will indicate not only when to spray trees in the spring, but also what to spray them with in each spring month and the same recommendations for other seasons.
Of course, it’s up to you to decide what to spray your fruit trees in the spring, because this is your garden. Yes, and today there is a huge variety of garden treatment products that are suitable both for early spring work before the formation of buds in apple, pear and plum trees, and during the blossoming of leaves, flowering and fruit formation.
The most commonly used products by domestic gardeners are:
It is not possible to give clear preference to any drug, since their action may be more aimed at a certain type of threat than others, or its effect may be so strong that it can damage the leaves of the tree, so it is used only in early March or at the end of October. Another recommendation for garden treatment is to stop using chemicals when fruits appear, as well as the use of any spray preparations 3 weeks before harvest.
It is recommended to spray trees with copper sulfate twice during the summer season. Once - in early spring, before the first buds appear on your trees, since even a solution diluted in the recommended proportions can damage young leaves; vitriol is also used if there are wounds on the fruit tree that require disinfection. Typically, this fungicide is used to treat pear, plum and apple trees in early March and late October. Treating plums with copper sulfate helps protect the plum orchard from curl, moniliosis, coccycosis and clasterosporosis, and protects apple and pear trees from phyllosticosis, curl, scab and moniliosis.
If your orchard consists of young trees up to 6 years old, then the solution copper sulfate Up to 2 liters will be needed for 1 fruit seedling and up to 10 for an adult fruit-bearing pear or apple tree.
Spraying fruit trees Copper sulfate is recommended to be carried out in the morning or evening on a windless day at a temperature from +5°C to +30°C, but in no case higher. Since this fungicide is a very aggressive drug, it is recommended to dilute it away from animals and people and ensure that its residues do not fall into wells and other water supplies or bodies of water.
Spraying trees with urea can be done as the first care for apple, plum and pear trees a week after flowering, or as the final preparation of trees for winter. Of course, each such treatment will require its own special concentration and will simultaneously achieve an additional effect that will save the future harvest.
As the first treatment of fruit trees, high-concentration urea with a small addition of copper sulfate allows not only to destroy pest larvae, but also, which is especially important when spraying plums, to slow down the rate of its awakening from the winter hut by 1-2 weeks. This will protect the sensitive plum blossom from early frosts.
With a weaker concentration of urea (50 g per 10 liters of water), the orchard is sprayed a week after flowering to protect fruit plants from the apple blossom beetle, copperhead, aphids, leaf roller caterpillars, etc.
Autumn spraying of trees with urea, as urea was previously called, can be carried out when about 40-50% of the foliage has fallen from the branches. In this case, the concentration of the solution should be higher than during flowering, but less than 500 g per 10 liters. Or, after waiting for the leaves to fall completely, you can use solutions of more concentrated urea - 7-10%, preparing the garden for the next season and spraying not only the trunks and branches themselves, but also the ground, using the drug for two purposes at once: as a fungicide and as a fertilizers
But if you rush and apply this product in such a high concentration, the leaves may get burned and, as a result, fall off ahead of schedule, leaving the orchard with less fruit. nutrients for the winter, which can reduce their resistance to frost.
Spraying trees with iron sulfate, like its copper counterpart, is usually carried out twice a year during periods when the garden has either not yet begun to turn green or is already preparing for the winter.
Spraying fruit trees with iron sulfate has double action: on the one hand, the garden receives iron, which is so necessary for plants, in an accessible form, which plays an important role in the respiration of plantings, and on the other hand, it effective protection from pests. Particularly sensitive to iron deficiency are orchards consisting of apple, pear or plum trees, which exhibit metal deficiency in their own way - low yield or incomplete development of fruits.
If the orchard mainly consists of old apple trees, plums and pears, then spraying is carried out not only at the beginning of spring, but also at the end of autumn, which helps fight not only pests, but also destroy lichen, moss, scab, cytosporosis, black cancer , septosporosis, and cytosporosis on the bark and branches, allowing the plant to accelerate its growth rate and increase the yield of the plant next year.
Preparation 30 for spraying pear, plum or apple trees is recommended for use in early or late spring autumn period s, at a concentration of 200g per 10 liters of water. Treating fruit plants with this product allows you to get rid of whiteflies, false scale insects, leaf rollers, scale insects, aphids, moths, copperheads, scale insects, red and brown fruit mites that have overwintered on the bark. This drug is no less effective for combating larvae in summer period. According to the manufacturer, it is safe for the tree itself, since it combats pests without poisoning them various substances, and with the help of a thin film that forms on the bark treated with a solution, and violates water balance and gas exchange of pests exposed to treatment at such stages as larvae or eggs. By creating unfavorable conditions for the existence of pests, the drug leads to their rapid death.
And although this effect seems to be achieved by a method that is harmless to fruit plantings, given the formation of a film and the decay period of some elements of the drug 30, some gardeners do not recommend its use more often than once every 3 years.
Diesel fuel, like other petroleum products, has been used for spring and autumn garden treatment for many decades, but it must be used with great care. The fact is that spraying trees with diesel fuel can lead to burns or death of fruit plants.
Therefore, spraying fruit trees with diesel fuel must be treated very responsibly, and most importantly, apply the mixture at the right time. If this is Vesta, then fruit plants such as apple trees, pears, plums should be processed not only before the leaves form, but preferably even before the buds form, and in the autumn it is better to wait until the leaves fall completely after the first frost.
Diesel oil for processing an orchard in pure form no one uses it, but mixes it with big amount water and other substances, reducing its destructive activity. But treatment with diluted diesel fuel may even be recommended if the apple or plum tree has sharp corner, which began to rot over the years. In this case, annual use of this substance can prevent decay processes.
Processing of the orchard is carried out using special devices of a manual or mechanical operating principle. A device for spraying trees is simply an indispensable thing for caring for an orchard, since it protects the gardener from contact with chemicals and allows the product to be evenly distributed throughout the plantings. Each such device is equipped with a pump for supplying the spraying agent. To work with powdered chemicals, there are devices with air blowers.
Mechanical models are much more convenient than manual ones, but they are several times more expensive and provided that the gardener small garden, are an unjustified luxury. At the same time, a manual apparatus requires one designed for processing pears, plums, apple trees and other representatives of the orchard constant pressure, which is provided by pumping with the hands of the gardener. But the pumping principle is different for different devices: some devices operate on preliminary pumping, while others operate on constant pumping. Each of these options has its own advantages and disadvantages. The gardener must choose the most suitable model for himself.
As you can see, there are a lot of aspects, from the weather forecast for the next month and analysis of the prevalence of certain pests in the region in the current season, to analysis of the condition of your orchard, its average age, etc., which is important to consider when choosing the time and spray means. Therefore, novice gardeners, as well as those for whom it is important to get maximum yield with a minimum of effort, are better off turning to our company’s specialists for help with garden maintenance. All the people working at the Sovereign company are highly qualified specialists who will carry out competent processing of your orchard at a low cost and tell you how else you can increase productivity.

On your own summer cottage At the end of spring, I noticed the apple blossom beetle on my favorite varieties of apple trees. Since it is not recommended to treat the trees during the flowering period, I waited until the last bud had faded.
She waited another two weeks, then she treated not only the apple tree, but also other fruit trees with Decis. After two weeks, the number of flower beetles decreased sharply, and later they disappeared completely.
This way I was able to save my future harvest. In this article I will list you folk remedies and chemicals that can be used to save fruit trees from insect pests after flowering.
It is not recommended to spray fruit trees during flowering and fruiting. Therefore, treatment against insect pests and fungal diseases is carried out in early spring or after flowering has ended. The final stage usually carried out in the fall while preparing plants for winter.
For this procedure, choose a dry and windless day. It is best to do it in the evening, as this is when most insect pests begin to crawl out of the cracks. But you can also process it early in the morning. And it would be a good idea to check the weather forecast to see if rainy days are coming soon.
Otherwise, the procedure will have to be repeated after rain. But there are chemicals that work better during high humidity air. Therefore, you should first read the instructions for the drug.
For a tree taller than two meters, about six liters of solution are usually dissolved for spraying, and for low bushes and trees, about two liters are enough, even less. But in the second case, they look at the density of their crown.
If you don’t want to spend money on a modern sprayer, you can spray with a broom, which is lowered into a bucket of solution each time.
And in specialized stores you can purchase any sprayer from the cheapest to the most expensive, depending on their composition and power. For processing large quantity For trees, it is better to purchase an electric pump.
To ensure that your favorite fruit varieties are attacked as little as possible by insect pests and diseases, it is advisable to choose hybrid seedlings with high resistance to various diseases and pests from the very beginning for planting.
When working with chemicals, it is undesirable to neglect safety precautions, otherwise you may get poisoned or get a skin burn:
Because of fruit plants after flowering, it is recommended to treat chemical solutions very carefully so as not to damage the future harvest; many gardeners choose folk recipes, which not only rid trees of insect pests, but also do not cause any harm to the plant and humans.
They are used only if traditional recipes do not work. And it is worth remembering that they are not treated with them during flowering and fruiting. And if it was necessary to process it during fruiting, then in this case the harvest is harvested only a month after the last procedure.
The means described below can not only completely destroy many insect pests, but also protect trees from fungal and viral diseases. They can be processed only two to three weeks after the last petal of the inflorescence falls off.
Autumn is a very “hot” time for gardeners. And although the harvest has almost been harvested, many other works still need to be done. And today we'll talk about autumn care behind the fruit trees.
So, processing trees in the fall. What does it include? The list of agrotechnical measures is quite extensive, so we will consider each item separately.
Processing in the fall always begins with pruning. It is this that is the main and most accessible method of regulating tree yield. It is carried out both in autumn and spring. At the end of summer, it is necessary to carry out so-called preventive pruning. You need to carefully inspect the trees and cut out weak ones, as well as shoots growing inside the crown. On next season There will be very little use from them, and the only way they can be useful is to produce small, low-quality fruits. Dried and broken branches will interfere with the tree.
Sometimes, after complete pruning, nature again pleases us with warmth and sunshine, and “dormant” trees come to life again. Therefore, be prepared for the appearance of a large number of tops.
This is the name given to young shoots that grow vertically upward. They emerge from and begin to grow very actively, sometimes reaching a height of two meters. These are fattening shoots that take away the strength of the tree, but never bear fruit and only thicken its crown. Therefore, it is necessary to get rid of them immediately.
You can remove such shoots by breaking them off with your hands or cutting them out using garden pruners. In any case, the tree is left with a wound that needs to be treated with garden varnish.
Spraying trees in the fall will help prevent insect infestations in the spring, as well as produce a richer harvest. Immediately after harvesting the entire crop, the trees must be treated with a urea solution. To do this, you need to dilute 500 grams of fertilizer in 10 liters of water and carefully treat the entire tree, including the trunk. This procedure will save the vegetation from scab.
It would be a good idea to spray the trees with the solution yourself. For this you will need:
First, dilute copper sulfate warm water. Then pour the lime into a bucket of water and pour in the copper sulfate solution while stirring constantly. Spraying with Bordeaux mixture should be carried out at the end of October or beginning of November. Choose a dry and windless day.
This spraying will help get rid of many diseases from trees:
This spraying of trees in the fall allows you to treat the entire garden without harming other plants and beneficial insects.
Treating trees in the fall includes protecting the bark. In spring, you can often observe quite deep vertical cracks on tree trunks. They arise due to sudden temperature changes on winter days, when during the day the sun heats the bark, and at night it cools down sharply. This is what causes cracking.
Pests hibernating under the bark can also cause similar damage. Therefore, be sure to clean the tree trunk of moss and lichen. The bark that has fallen away from the trunk must be removed. This will help destroy females preparing for the winter. spider mite, causative agents of many diseases: rust, powdery mildew, bud moth, etc. Be sure to burn all hunting belts installed on tree trunks.
The trunk must be whitened and then wrapped in protective cloth. It can be any material. Ordinary rags will do, because the main purpose is to protect from direct sunlight.
Treatment of fruit tree trunks in the fall consists primarily of whitewashing. It will help protect trees from possible damage due to sudden temperature fluctuations, sunburn and slow down bud break.
To protect the wood from sunburn, whitewash must be applied to a height of at least two meters. Don't forget about processing skeletal branches.
For the event, choose dry and windless weather. Whitewashing is carried out after complete leaf fall.
If possible, it is better to purchase a ready-made solution water-dispersion paint. It can be used when the air temperature drops below three degrees below zero. The paint is good because it does not interfere with the wood’s breathing, but also does not allow ultraviolet radiation to pass through.
If you can’t buy a ready-made solution, you should prepare it yourself. Bustilate can act as a binding agent, since when it dries, it forms a thin, breathable layer and does not dissolve under the influence of water. In this case, the whitewash will not be washed away by rain, and the tree will overwinter well. It is better to avoid using clay or mullein, as they are very unstable and will be immediately washed away by rain.
Role white pigment Regular chalk will do just fine. To obtain quality solution, you will need two parts bonding agent and part pigment. First, they are thoroughly mixed with each other, and only then water can be added to them. The consistency of the solution should resemble paint.
Whitewashing of the trunk can be done using the usual one. But in this case, the stem must be coated twice, since only then will the thickness of the paint meet the standard. To prepare the whitewash mixture you will need:
Carefully combine all components, and then dilute a little with water. Ready solution should resemble good thick sour cream.
Treatment fruit trees In the fall, it requires mandatory application of fertilizers. However, now it is worth abandoning nitrogen fertilizing. At this time, the following compositions are suitable:
By the way, it is humus that can give the tree all the substances it needs. Mineral fertilizers are capable of worsening the microflora of the roots, while humus does not. It is introduced during the autumn digging of the root circles of trees.
That's all. Carrying out all of the above activities is the treatment of trees in the fall.
If trees are not given due attention, even with excellent seedlings and varieties from the orchard, you can hardly expect a good harvest. One of the most important maintenance activities is spraying fruit trees in the spring.
Timely and competently carried out procedure:
One of the most important events that opens the new summer season is aimed at destroying pests that are still hidden from the eyes of the gardener. Many of the worst enemies of fruit trees overwinter and develop inside the bark, in the surface layer of soil under the trees, and even inside the buds.
When in the spring will treatment of fruit trees from pests bring greatest benefit? To prevent the massive appearance of an army of insects, the first battle with it is carried out when the average daily temperature overcomes the barrier of +5 °C and the main snow cover disappears. It is impossible to name exact dates, because much depends on the climatic characteristics of the region and the conditions of a particular year.
In most areas middle zone You need to start preparing for spraying in mid-March.
What does this preparation involve? Before you begin spring treatment of fruit trees against pests:
All of the above measures are aimed at reducing the risk of spreading infections from dead parts of plants to healthy ones. Therefore, after sawdust and cleaning, all wound surfaces and cuts on shrubs and in the spring, using a 1–3% solution of the substance in water. And only then is sealing done with garden pitch.
The choice of drugs for pest and disease control today is so wide that when visiting a store it is difficult to navigate through the colored packages. What products are suitable for spraying fruit trees in spring?
Most popular means may be recognized by gardeners in Russia. Copper sulfate is a fungicide that successfully combats such common diseases of fruit trees and berry bushes like powdery mildew and scab. It can be used in any weather throughout the year.
To make the treatment of fruit trees with copper sulfate in the spring more effective, it is used to prepare it. To do this, vitriol is mixed in equal parts with slaked lime.
The resulting blue liquid not only has fungicide properties, it:
Spraying fruit trees with iron sulfate in the spring is also aimed at combating plant diseases, but is also used as a foliar feeding iron supplement. As with copper sulfate, two treatments of the garden with iron sulfate are required to achieve a lasting effect.
In early spring, diesel fuel is effectively used to treat trees against pests that hibernate under the bark. Forming a thin film that does not allow air to pass through, it is deposited on the surface of the bark and prevents insects from breathing. Usually the effect occurs within a few hours. The larvae and eggs laid in the buds and under the bark die without ever developing into an adult insect.
The second stage of the attack on diseases and pests is carried out when the plants are preparing to bloom, the buds have already opened, and also at the stage of the appearance of the ovary. At this time, the main emphasis is on exterminating pests, as well as consolidating the results of the fight against diseases and infections.
How to spray fruit trees in the spring in order to harvest a full, healthy harvest in the summer? The garden is processed in two stages:
At this stage, complex insecticides are used in combination with fungicidal agents. In addition, it is worth paying attention to foliar treatment of trees or urea. Chemical drug copes well with several tasks simultaneously:
IN large gardens, located far beyond the boundaries of residential properties, spring treatment of fruit trees against pests is carried out using the drug DNOC, which simultaneously acts against ticks, insects and pathogens.
The drug is toxic, so serious safety precautions are required when using it. Treatment is carried out in very early spring or autumn, when plants do not show signs of active growth.
Popular in Lately drugs of biological origin are good for disease prevention. If the tree is already sick or affected by pests, such remedies, although they are safer for the plants themselves and humans, will not help much, and may not cope with the problem at all.
How to spray garden plants? How much solution may be required to irrigate a particular tree?
If you refer to the instructions attached to chemical plant protection products, they always contain the proportions of dilution of the drug, as well as the approximate consumption of liquid per meter of area. But how can we rely on these numbers when spraying of fruit trees in the spring is carried out not only on the ground, but primarily on the crown?
That is why it is extremely important to prepare a high-quality sprayer before the beginning of spring, which allows you to moisten the most inaccessible areas of the tree using a directed jet. Usually, good device allows you to save chemicals, avoiding waste and providing a powerful, fine spray. A video about spraying fruit trees in the spring will help you master the technique of competently selecting preparations and irrigating plants. The treatment can be considered complete when the crown of a tree or shrub is wet on all sides, the trunk and root area of the soil, where insects can hide and fungal spores can overwinter, have been treated.
So that the garden meets your expectations, pleases the eye and soul good harvest, it is necessary to provide him with proper, professional care. Landscape workshop Lenotre Park will be happy to take care of the processing and spraying of fruit trees and shrubs. For this we have experienced specialists and special equipment. It’s easy to order garden treatment in Moscow and the Moscow region - just one call to the phone number indicated in the right column.
Cost of work:
Spring treatment of fruit trees is a series of measures aimed at the prevention and treatment of diseases of trees and shrubs, to prevent the invasion of pests or to destroy them. The qualitative and quantitative indicators of the future harvest depend on how timely, efficiently, organized and competently the work is carried out.
Spring treatment of trees is carried out in several stages:
Spraying is also carried out outside this schedule, as necessary.
But at the same time, you need to realize that spring spraying of fruit trees is not a strictly regulated event in the sense that no one can say in advance exactly when and with what preparations to treat the garden, because each tree is unique in its characteristics and condition, and, accordingly, requires an individual approach. When planning the treatment of fruit trees in the spring, it is necessary to start, first of all, from the degree of infestation of the garden with certain insects and diseases. The “just in case” principle does not apply to trees. Excessive use of chemicals can adversely affect the well-being of plants, and is also undesirable for people and environment generally.
Landscape workshop LE-PARK provides services for comprehensive spring treatment of trees and shrubs in Moscow and the Moscow region. Our specialists carry out competent event planning, correct selection drugs, timely and high-quality spraying. You can order both comprehensive garden care and seasonal garden treatment.
At the beginning of March, when the snow has just melted and the daytime temperature is stable at +5°C, you can begin preventive or health measures.
Garden cultivation in early spring begins with pruning trees and shrubs. Tops, dead and frozen branches should be removed, and the thickened crown should be cleared. At the same time, it is necessary to treat areas of the bark damaged by rodents. The damaged areas are cleaned down to living wood tissue and must be treated first with copper sulfate (1% solution), then with rannet (the places where branches are cut when pruning are treated in the same way, copper sulfate is not necessary).
After this, it is necessary to carefully, without damaging the bark, clean the trunks and branches of exfoliated and cracked dead bark, fungal deposits, and lichens. Removed dead bark should not be left under the tree. It is advisable to first lay cellophane film or other bedding around the trunk and under the crown. After completing the work, collect the waste and burn it. If there are stumps in the garden that are a constant source of fungal diseases, they must be uprooted.
It is imperative to process hollows, if any. Clean them, disinfect them, lubricate them and leave them to dry, covering them from rain and dirt.
Next in the spring processing of trees is whitewashing of trunks and trunk branches. The purpose of this event is to prevent the development of the remaining larvae laid by pests in the fall, to scare away adult pests, which will soon wake up and kill fungal spores.
Effective for these purposes are modern means(ready-to-use), which can be purchased in specialized stores. They come in several types: aerosol, water-dispersion, acrylic. They usually contain fungicides. It is desirable that the mixture allows air to pass through, which is especially important for young trees.
You can prepare a solution for whitewashing trees yourself. To do this, dilute 2 kilograms of slaked lime in a bucket of water, add 1 kg of clay and 250 g of copper sulfate. Some people add laundry soap and glue. Mix everything well. Use this mixture to whiten the trunks and lower parts of tree branches.
It is also necessary to prepare tree trunk areas for processing. If autumn work have not been carried out, this needs to be given the closest attention. Remove and burn last year's foliage and mummified fruits.
The very first spring spraying of trees is mandatory. Spraying is carried out before the buds awaken, and it is aimed primarily against fungal diseases - scab, coccomycosis, leaf spot, against mosses and lichens, etc., as well as against aphids, mites, apple moth caterpillars, copperheads, etc.
How to spray trees in early spring? There are many drugs on sale now. The problem is that they are often narrowly targeted. Therefore, pay attention to the description when purchasing. Better to use medications wide range actions. It is clear that it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, for a person far from gardening to quickly understand the intricacies of this matter. The right decision will seek help from professionals who know exactly what, when, how much and how.
But, if this is not possible, for one reason or another, then we advise you to use proven and reliable means. These are copper sulfate, Bordeaux mixture, urea, iron sulfate. Pay attention to mixtures of urea and copper sulfate. They are good because, in addition to their direct function of plant protection, they act as a nitrogen fertilizer and delay the growing season for a week and a half. Both additional factors are useful. Nitrogen fertilizing is quite appropriate at the start, and late flowering reduces the risk of spring frosts.
Trees should be sprayed generously, starting from the surface of the crown and gradually moving inward, towards the trunk from top to bottom. The areas around the trunk also need to be thoroughly treated with the solution, and then the area must be closed. tree trunk circles black film (the film is removed after flowering ends). This is done in order to reduce the likelihood of harmful insect larvae emerging from the soil.
After spraying, you can put hunting belts on the trees. And although the insects have not yet awakened, very soon their hordes will rush onto the trees.
As for the bushes - currants and gooseberries, they are processed immediately after the snow melts. On gooseberries, it is necessary to cut out branches damaged by American powdery mildew; on currants, cut out branches with unnaturally swollen buds in which female currant bud mites have settled (take the cut branches outside the garden and burn). Shrubs are sprayed with solutions of iron sulfate or nitrafen.
By the time the buds hatch, the life of flora and fauna will fully resume after winter and it will become a little clearer what troubles threaten the garden. In addition, an attentive gardener can already, to some approximation, predict outbreaks of diseases and the activity of certain types of pests (taking into account current and last year’s observations).
Selection of preparations for treating trees and shrubs in this spring time is not an easy task. Every year, dozens of new products are released, to which pests adapt throughout the year. No matter how good this or that drug is, it is not able to solve all problems comprehensively, in one go. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully and accurately diagnose diseases, determine the type of pests and select appropriate means of protecting and treating trees.
If you live in Moscow or the Moscow region, qualified gardeners from the Lenotre Park landscape workshop are at your service. You can get professional advice at any time or use the services of specialists for spring spraying of fruit trees and shrubs.
Preparations, depending on the condition of the trees, can be chemical or biological.
Chemicals are quite radical drugs with some undesirable side effects on the environment.
Biological products are harmless to the environment, animals, pollinating insects and people. Their production is based on the use of living microorganisms (bacteria, bacterial viruses, antagonist fungi). They are not so aggressive towards pests and to achieve results, spraying with them is carried out more often.
Chemicals:
Biological products:
During flowering, the garden is not treated with insecticides and fungicides. You can use biological products that stimulate the formation of the ovary. This is especially true when, during the flowering period of trees, the weather is not conducive to the flight of bees. Actually, the drug is called “Ovary” or “Universal Ovary”. It is classified as a growth stimulant. 
Fruit trees are treated twice - during the period of active flowering, and during the period of fruit formation (7-10 days after the first spraying).
Berry bushes are also sprayed twice - in the budding phase, and during the formation of the ovary.
During flowering, the intensity of work in the garden decreases. You can take the time to fill cavities that have been cleaned and disinfected earlier.
By the time fruit formation begins, all insects have already woken up and are aimed at creating voracious offspring, for which destroying the entire future harvest along with the foliage is a piece of cake. Therefore, we must not lose our vigilance. At this time, fruit trees are treated against pests, guided by the principle of an individual approach.
For apricot, the main threats are clasterosporia blight and monilial blight. Despite previous treatments, apricot trees need to be treated with copper oxychloride or a 1% solution of copper sulfate. If aphids and leaf rollers are present, add insecticide to the spray solution.
Plum most often suffers from moniliosis, clasterosporiasis, polystigmosis, etc. Copper oxychloride with the addition of an insecticide (if necessary) is used for spraying.
Sweet cherries and cherries are susceptible to clasterosporiosis, coccomycosis, aphids appear on the foliage, leaf roller, cherry fly, etc. are activated. Trees are treated with topsin and copper oxychloride against fungal diseases. For insects - spraying with Zolon, Sumition.
On pear and apple trees after flowering, the appearance of powdery mildew, scab and other spots on the foliage is often observed. It is necessary to spray with fungicides such as Vectra, Rubigan, Strobi, Skor. Repeat spraying after 12 days, changing the drug to another.
And thus it is necessary to analyze and spray all the fruit trees and shrubs in the garden.
After the trees have finished flowering, there is a high risk of sawflies, mites, aphids, leaf rollers, and other pests. At the first signs of the presence of these “friends” of the garden, it is necessary to treat the trees with broad-spectrum insecticides - BI 58N, Rogor S, Mitak, Danadim, etc.
