Tasty, everyone's favorite cherry often become the targets of a large number of pests and diseases, because of which decreases productivity of trees, they weaken and disappear.Pests of cherry and control - is the actual problem gardeners throughout the growing season of the tree.Protect cherry trees from the destructive action of external factors and get a good harvest will help the timely prevention and measures taken to combat diseases and pests.
cherry main enemies are:
- cherry aphid;
- gray mold, monilia;
- sprout mol;
- perforated spotting foliage (klyasterosporioz);
- anthracnose;
- cherry weevil;
- kokkomikoz.
Pests of cherry and control: cherry aphid
This is a very dangerous enemy of cherry, its colonies can greatly harm the tree.Under the blow so small (about 2 mm) insect characterized by shiny black (sometimes green) color falls foliage juice which these creatures relentlessly suck.
most comfortable habitat for aphids is the underside of the leaves, the peduncle and the tops of branches.During the summer, part of the insect moves to new growth, growing under the tree, returning back to the fall.The appearance of aphids is always accompanied by the invasion of ants, which feed hordes of its allocation.Eggs laid by aphids overwinter on the young branches of the tree;larvae emerge in the spring, at the beginning of bud burst, and after a short time turned into full-fledged females ready to continue to the next generation.
Pests of cherry and control (photo) - the most pressing problems in their identification in the tree.The fight against aphids first is to cut near the cherry root seedlings and weed control, which she occupies.Before bud effective pest cherry folk remedies: spraying it with a solution of a dandelion, onions, garlic, yarrow or ash.Effective infusion of the leaves of wormwood, tobacco and soap, the latter is added to a solution of better adhesion to the leaves and the formation of an airtight film, under which the aphids pants.Under the trees it is recommended to plant plants that will repel aphids.It marigold and calendula.
At high concentrations of pests should resort to the use of chemicals.It pesticides "Inta-sup" or "Spark" performance will use a 0.1% solution "decis."Spraying required to carry out in the evening in windless weather.The deadline for processing - 3 weeks before the harvest cherry harvest.
cherry weevil
This beetle bronze-green color with a touch of raspberry fruit cherries strikes without giving them even ripen.Small in size (about 1 cm), he settles on the tree during its flowering, feeding on buds, flowers, and ovaries cherries.In mid-summer the females gnaw green fruit pulp and lay their eggs on the stone.A couple of weeks the larvae appear to gnaw the bones inside.This leads to the premature fall of fruit.With mass lesion such a threat to the crop can say goodbye.
insect overwinters in the soil, so its destruction in the autumn the ground around the trees need to dig.Pest cherry spring will be in the regular brushing of beetles from the tree, and their destruction.
From chemicals to combat the cherry weevil with a significant cluster of its effective use of such compositions as "Inta-sup" or "Malathion".The treatment should be performed twice after flowering and again after 7 days.Effectively "Fufanon", "Kinmiks", "aktellik" and "Rovikurt."Preparations need to spray the trees after they bloom.
sprout mole
this pest in the spring - yellow-green caterpillar, and in the summer - colorful little butterfly, a fancy cherry buds.Biting them, it leads to drying of the latter.Outwardly, it seems that the gains are damaged by frost.Also caterpillars affects young leaves, cobwebs enveloping them, and buds, gnawing one stamen.Further suffer ovary tree.
To become pupae in early summer goes under the earth to the beginning of June to please the world of butterflies.Those, in turn, lay their eggs near the mature kidney.
Pests of cherry and control - a problem for many gardeners, because wishing to parasitize on fruit trees - a large number.Sprout moles can be overcome loosening tree trunks in the summer, when caterpillars go into the soil mass to pupate.During the swelling of the buds and blooming effective drugs are "Inta-vir", "Decis" or "Akhtar".
cherry sawfly slimy
is a small flying insect of black color, whose larvae resemble small leeches.Wintering at a depth of about 15 cm and pupate in late spring.In mid-summer the adults lay their eggs in the leaves, which then ruthlessly to the very veins, emerging larvae devour.Such harmful activity leads to premature fall of damaged leaves.
Pests of cherry and measures to deal with them in the first place require the attention of the gardener when it detects lesions tree.Sawfly can be overcome, "spark", "Inta-Vir" or "Antar".
moniliosis
other words, gray fruit rot - a fungal disease, which manifests itself in early July and striking flowers, leaves and twigs of the tree.High humidity and high temperatures - a comfortable environment conducive to the development of active disease.On fruits formed gray ash pads that grow berries and cover completely.Sometimes rotten cherries are a dark blue-gray color, like a mummified, why look lacquered.The flesh becomes damaged cherries loose structure, completely losing its taste.Most of the fruits fall off, some are black, withered, still hanging to the coming of spring, with the onset of which the sick fetus develops spores carrying dangerous to health cherries.
Pests of cherry and control - a problem acquiring the greatest relevance during ripening harvest, when the number of those wishing to try the delicious fruit increased significantly.
fungus overwinters in the ovaries of dead, diseased inflorescences, dry branches and fruit, so to get rid of the sources of infection, these parts of the plant is required to collect and destroy.Patients need to cut branches, while capturing 10-15 cm of healthy tissue, and then burn.
care cherry spring - pest during the bud, is the handling of the trees and the soil around Vitriol or Bordeaux mixture.In the spring before flowering cherry sprinkle fungicide recommended "Topsin M", and immediately after flowering - copper oxychloride.
Klyasterosporioz
This perforated spotting of leaves, which is a fungal disease;it spreads to the leaves, shoots and fruits stone fruits.Sick trees are characterized by the appearance on the leaves of red-brown spots up to 5 mm in the spring.Sometimes the spots are framed red border.After 1-2 weeks the tissue in the affected areas begins to crumble, falling, forming through-holes.Reddish spots also appear on the shoots observed cracking bark and gum selection.The fruits dry up and become deformed.Warm wet weather - the most comfortable environment for the development of the disease.
wintering pathogen carries on annual increment and branches in the form of mycelium, so patients branches necessarily want to cut and destroy.To localize the sources of contamination need to collect and destroy fallen leaves and fruit.Trees recommended to treat the same drugs as in the treatment of moniliosis.
Kokkomikoz cherry
This fungal disease most commonly affects the leaves, at least - the fruit of the tree of the garden as a cherry.Pest and disease control in the care of a plant is a priority for the salvation of the latter.Kokkomikoz cherry appears as follows: first on the leaf surface is observed the appearance of red-brown dots that merge, grow into a solid spot.On the underside of the leaves formed spores of the fungus in the form of a white and pink bloom.Leaves fall off prematurely, and the fruits become ugly appearance, are immature and become unfit for consumption.Wintering pathogen transfers in fallen leaves.Kokkomikoz reduces winter hardiness of the tree, which can lead to the death of the latter.Fungal spores become active in the spring, when the tree begins to bloom.
So at the end of summer cherry pests and their control (see photo. Article) - the main thing, on what should be focused the attention of the gardener to save the tree.Fallen leaves near the diseased trees need to collect and burn the soil around the trees should be dug.From the chemicals we recommend the use of 4% urea solution, is desired spring processing Bordeaux mixture.After flowering, the drug should be used "Topsin M" or copper oxychloride.
cherry
Anthracnose This disease affects mainly fruit, which are formed during ripening dull spots, gradually develops in the dark small lumps, which then is formed pink plaque.In dry weather, mummified fruit, it seems that their sun dried.During the humid and rainy summer the number of affected fetuses with this disease may approach 80%.Patients need to collect fruits and destroy.
Treatment of the disease is carried out preparation "polished", which requires three to sprinkle the trees: before and after flowering, and then 14 days after the second treatment.
Rust
In hot weather, high humidity on the plants often this problem occurs.The upper side of the leaf is covered with spots, similar to rust.They gradually increases, which leads to fall off of the sheet.Tree weakens, reduced its hardiness.Reduced fruiting.Collect and burn fallen diseased leaves.Wood sprayed with copper oxychloride.
Plum moth
Almost all varieties of cherries are affected plum moth, butterfly which is characterized by a leaden tinge, while the nymph whose length is 7 mm, has a yellow-brown color.The greatest harm caused to the tree caterpillar.The defeat of the plum fruit moth can be determined immediately, on berries nothing but dark, barely perceptible spot on the thin skins, not noticeable.Pest cherry and plum consists in treating drugs such as "Anometrin" "Ambush" "Sherpa" "Tsitkor".The second time it is recommended to sprinkle the trees in 14 days.
