Spring is the time when most fruit trees and shrubs wake up from hibernation. This is perhaps the most important moment for plants. The whole year depends on how they develop in spring. This is also the time when all kinds of pests, fungi and bacteria also wake up from hibernation and start attacking the plants.
In order to protect our trees and shrubs from their attack, you need to be prepared to act from the first warmer days.
Spraying is the best method of protection. But you need to know How to perform them and at what time, so as not to harm other organisms.
When to do spring spraying?
There is no exact date when we should spray. It all depends on the basic factor that we have no influence on, i.e. the air temperature. It is best to spray when the air temperature exceeds 7 degrees.
It influences the growth rate of plants as well as pathogens that these plants will attack. You should also remember that each plant develops at a slightly different pace and time, so observing them is the basic task of the gardener.
Spraying should be done on a warm, dry and windless day.
It is best to spray early in the morning or late afternoon, when the sun is not too strong anymore. Too strong rays could burn delicate plants. Spraying should not be done during strong winds and rain.
An important factor to be met in the case of spraying is to take care not to do it while flying bees. It is best to do them just in the evening, when the sun is slowly going down. Thanks to this, we can be sure that insects do not zero during this time.
Before spraying, it is also worth taking a closer look at the plants. When using anti-fungal spraying on fruit trees, make sure that their buds are already starting to swell. This ensures that the spraying will prevent fungal disease from getting inside the bud.
A second spraying should be carried out after 12-14 days. It is worth paying attention to whether the plants are stained, rot or dried up between spraying - this may indicate a poorly selected spraying and must be replaced with another. However, if nothing bad happens, repeat the spraying.
The most important preventive spraying that every gardener should perform is against multiplying fungi. It is especially important in the care and protection of fruit trees, including apple, pear, cherry, cherry and plum trees. These treatments protect plants against the appearance of powdery mildew, apple scab or leaf curl. These are the most common tree ailments that gardeners face every year.One of the most dangerous is fire blight, which spreads quite quickly over the surface of fruit trees.
Spraying also allows for protection against pests that appear most often during this period, while feeding on the plant. Aphids, spider mites, honeys, apples and seeds are one of the few that can effectively destroy fruit crops without spraying. In this case, you should act systematically and quickly, because their expansion can attack other fruit trees overnight.
Directly before flowering and immediately after flowering, it is also worth spraying grapevines and apple trees preventively against powdery mildew.
Before flowering and during flowering, we spray raspberries to prevent gray mold and dieback of raspberry shoots. We spray every 10 days.
Additionally, preventive spraying should be performed in the vegetable garden, on ornamental plants and on the lawn. Thanks to this, we are able to effectively protect roses against shoot dieback, powdery mildew and vegetables against gray mold and downy mildew.
All plants should be preventively sprayed with copper, it is a universal agent that fights many fungal diseases, it is often used in organic farming.
