Spring currant spraying should be started in early spring , before the vegetation starts. During this period, you can applyfirst spraying with oil preparations , such as Emulpar 940 EC or Promanal 60 EC, whose task iscombating the wintering forms of the spider mite and aphidsThe advantage of spraying in this period is the lack of harmfulness to pollinating insects that do not yet appear in the garden.
Another spring spraying of currants should be done just before floweringagainst antacnosis (leaf fall) of currants . In amateur crops on plots and in home gardens, we recommend the use of Miedzian Extra 350 SC, permitted for use in ecological crops, or, even more ecologically, spraying with garlic extract prepared by yourself. The more so because garlic extract also has a preventive effect against pests (aphids, spider mites and large pomegranate).
To prepare garlic extract200g of crushed garlic cloves should be ground, covered with 10 L of water and set aside for 3-4 days.After straining, you can spray (without diluting).In amateur crops, where we rather avoid the use of excess "chemicals", subsequent spraying is performed after the end of flowering of the currant. Alternatively, during flowering, it may be necessary to combat aphids, which are very numerous in shrubs in spring, contributing to deformation and raised red spots on currant leaves. Against aphids, I recommend ecological spraying with potassium soap and garlic.
During the flowering of the currant, it may also be necessary to sprayagainst gray mold. This disease can develop very quickly, especially during the flowering of currants, which is favored by rainy weather. Therefore, if we notice symptoms of gray mold in the form ofgray dusty coating and discoloration on currant flowers , spray the biological agent Polyversum WP as soon as possible, which will effectively inhibit the development of gray mold.
" After the flowering of the currant, another spray is appliedagainst the anthracnose of the currant leaves, which also stops the white currant rust. For this purpose, we use Miedzian again or use stronger agents, such as Signum 33 WG or Magnicur Gold. If you still do not want to use chemicals, let&39;s do natural spraying - for anthracnose it will be effective to spray garlic extract without dilution, and for rust - spraying with horsetail decoction in a dilution of 1: 4 or with wormwood extract without dilution.
Thespraying should be adjusted to the symptoms of diseases and pests that we have observed on currants in recent yearsIf a problem led to large damage to bushes or loss of a large part of the currant crop, it may be necessary to carry out intensive chemical protection against a given disease or pest.
