How and what to properly process apricots in spring


Purposes of processing

Spring is the time for preventive treatments of all fruit trees. Thanks to this, the planting will bear fruit and additional use of chemicals will not be required.

Spraying is mandatory when:

  • high susceptibility of the planting to diseases and insects to avoid crop loss;
  • the need to increase productivity.

The main purpose of spraying is protection against pests. If you refuse the procedure, the apricot will sooner or later get sick. Complex treatment will be required, which is not always effective.

Spring treatment of apricot against pests

Among garden pests, apricot leaves and fruits can damage:

  • leaf aphid,
  • codling moth,
  • hawthorn butterfly,
  • leaf roller

But these insects cannot cause significant harm to healthy, well-developed trees. Careful tree care, which consists of regular preventive treatment of apricots with fungicides and insecticides, destruction of weeds, timely removal of fallen leaves and whitewashing of tree trunks to protect them from sunburn and wintering insects, ensures immunity or high resistance of plants to diseases and pests.

Table: pests of apricot trees and their control

PestsSignsWays to fightPreventive measures
codling mothButterflies lay eggs on the ovaries and leaf blades; after 2–3 weeks, caterpillars appear, which penetrate the ovaries and feed on their contents, causing them to fall off. The codling moth can reduce the yield of a tree by half. 20 days after the flowers fall off, treatment with drugs:
  • Mitak (30–40 ml),
  • Biorin (10 ml),
  • Kinmiks (2.5 ml),
  • Inta-Vir (1 tablet),
  • Sumi-alpha (5 g per 10 liters of water).
  • digging up soil around the trunk in autumn;
  • destruction of plant residues.
Leaf aphidSmall insects of lime, soft green or black-brown hue settle on the tops of the shoots, sucking the juices from the young foliage. The leaves curl into a tube, turn brown, and fall off. Insecticide treatment:
  • Fitoverm,
  • Aktara,
  • Inta-Vir,
  • Iskra-Bio (strictly in accordance with the instructions).
  • moderate use of nitrogen-containing fertilizers;
  • use of folk remedies: infusions of dried orange peel,
  • tobacco leaves,
  • leaves of any strong-smelling plants,
  • hot pepper pods. To make the product last longer on the tree, you can add soap shavings.
Hawthorn butterflyCaterpillars eat buds, buds, flowers and leaves.Treatment with drugs:
  • Bitoxibacillin (40–80 g per 10 liters of water),
  • Lepidocide (20–30 g per 10 liters of water). Spraying in the spring after buds open, at the end of summer when new caterpillars appear.
Destruction of nests and caterpillars.
leaf rollerCaterpillars eat buds, buds, flowers and young leaves.

Prepare a so-called tank mixture, for example from HOM (0.4%) and Fufanon (0.1%). This mixture can be sprayed on all berry and fruit plants. Such treatment is a preventive measure for many crops, and for some it is an eradicative measure. One spring treatment of the plant replaces 3-4 sprayings in the summer. In the spring, pest larvae hatch from overwintered eggs and many adult individuals emerge from the ground. Spring spraying against a complex of pests not only reduces their numbers, but also prevents the appearance of subsequent generations of pests such as weevils, leaf beetles, sawflies, aphids, and mites.

Types of treatments

The timing of the procedure directly depends on its type and climate characteristics. Manipulation is usually carried out in early spring. The tree must be dormant at the time of treatment. The likelihood of return frosts should have disappeared. The temperature should not fall below 5-7 degrees day and night.

When determining what and how to treat an apricot tree in the spring, the type of procedure is taken into account. Manipulation can be eradicative, preventive, or aimed at delaying flowering.

Preventative

This treatment is carried out using drugs that are less toxic to humans. It should be borne in mind that such medications cannot be used during flowering. They pose a danger to bees. These are the main pollinators.

Apricot cytosporosis - what kind of beast and how to defeat it

Cytosporosis is one of the serious diseases that can lead to the death of the entire plant. Pathogenic microorganisms that cause disease usually penetrate into the space between the bark and wood and live there.

Photo of apricot cytosporosis

As a result of the influence of fungi on the aboveground part of the apricot plant, the foliage on the upper shoots withers, brown spots with a brown tint appear on the bark, and dark smudges appear. Gradually, the entire tree is affected - the foliage turns yellow, dries out and falls off ahead of schedule, the shoots also dry out, as a result of which the fruit tree dies.

To prevent this from happening, you need to take care of the tree in the initial stage of the disease:
cut out the affected shoots, infected bark and burn it outside the garden area.
Apricot can be cured only at the beginning of the disease, before the cystoporosis fungus begins to damage the cambium. All diseased bark is cut out, and the sections are treated with copper sulfate and covered with garden pitch. For preventive purposes, it is necessary to treat apricot trees with Bordeaux mixture in the spring and summer.

Wild apricots have good resistance to cystoporosis.

Choice of funds

You need to take a responsible approach to choosing funds. The stage of apricot development is taken into account. Not all drugs, for example, can be used immediately before harvest. All medications are used strictly following the recommended dosages.

Before flowering

The first spraying is carried out even before flowering. This will protect the apricot from moniliosis and scab, as well as spotting.

Important!

Before flowering, the procedure is carried out only at a stable above-zero temperature.

Before flowering, the plant is sprayed with urea and copper sulfate. Bordeaux mixture or Nitrofen can also be used. Only one drug is used. You cannot use several medications at once.

During flowering

During the active flowering phase, in addition to treatment, foliar feeding is applied. This increases the number of ovaries. For apricots you can use Signum. The drug fights powdery mildew, gray mold, and klyastrosporiosis. An additional advantage will be an increase in the shelf life of the harvested crop.

After flowering

In summer it is better to use traditional methods. The use of chemicals is prohibited. This is due to the fact that poisons can enter the body along with berries. Fungicides can be used only as a last resort if there is no harvest this year.

Fungicides are also allowed when the apricot is very sick. This is the only way to save the tree. Effective medications include Fitosporin, Skor, Actofit.

In the spring after flowering, treatment is also important. The plant is sprayed for the first time at the stage of fruit formation. The last treatment should be carried out no later than 20 days before harvest.

How to increase the winter hardiness of apricots

Apricot is a resident of warm latitudes. Breeders have been able to develop varieties that can grow in cold climates, but without proper care they do not produce a normal harvest and freeze slightly. Trees weakened after winter have almost no resistance to pathogens and quickly die.

To increase frost resistance, use:

  • multi-component foliar fertilizer Fertika Eco Potassium with a high content of potassium and magnesium;
  • autumn feeding with boron and zinc.

These elements accumulate in buds and wood. As a result, plants increase resistance to cold and other unfavorable winter factors, wake up earlier in the spring, and cope with stressful situations more easily.

The main pruning is done in the spring before the buds open. Its goal is to form a powerful, strong tree in which every branch is well illuminated. In mid-summer, the branches that have grown this year are cut off by a quarter - then they will ripen better and will not freeze. This operation is called minting.

Dear friends, we invite you to write in the comments whether you have apricots on your plot. And if there is, tell us how you deal with their diseases and pests. Do you use one of the methods described above or practice others?

Preparations for apricot

When choosing drugs, you need to take into account the purpose of processing, as well as the season. All preparations for apricot do not have a negative impact on the environment. Most medications are safe for humans.

Universal pesticides

The following pesticides are used for apricot:

  • DNOC;
  • Nitrafen;
  • Copper sulfate;
  • Bordeaux mixture;
  • Inkstone;
  • Urea.

Iron sulfate is the most commonly used treatment. The drug destroys parasites. Used to treat fruit rot, black cancer and other fungal diseases.

According to reviews, treatment with boric acid is no less effective. Complex compositions include Nitrafen. Treatment is aimed at eliminating pests and reducing the risk of fungal diseases.

Fungicides

Fungicides are effective in controlling fungal diseases. The most popular remedy is Chorus. The medication acts on dormant fungal spores.

Important!

The medicine is effective only at a temperature of +4-+20 degrees. The period of protective action of the medicine is 7-14 days.

Another effective medicine is Strobi. The medicine treats the fungus and prevents the spread of spores. The medication can be used at temperatures starting from +1 degrees. The protective effect lasts longer than a month. The fungicide does not accumulate in fruits and soil, so you can use it without fear.

Diseases and their symptoms

Apricot diseases easily spread to cherries, cherries, peaches, and plums. Therefore, stone fruit trees need to be planted as far apart as possible.

Moniliosis

The most harmful and widespread disease of apricot is moniliosis. This is the real scourge of all stone fruits. Moniliosis can affect up to 80% of shoots in just one season. On an infected tree, flowers fade, leaves dry out, and gum is intensely released through cracks in the trunk.

Clusterosporiasis

The main symptoms of clasterosporiasis are purple spots on the fruits and numerous small holes on the leaves. They are caused not by insects, but by a microscopic fungus. Then comes premature leaf fall - the leaves fall off, starting from the lower branches.

Chronic gum formation (homosis)

Apricot gum is a natural protection against infection. It is released due to mechanical damage caused by improper pruning, pests and diseases. Frost cracks, moniliosis and clasteoporosis are especially common causes of gum leakage.

Cytosporosis

It manifests itself by drying of branches in the first half of summer. The most characteristic symptom of this disease is the formation of long cracks on the trunk and in the forks of the branches. The affected tree dies within 3-4 years.

Folk recipes

Immediately before harvesting, you can use traditional methods. This treatment will be completely safe. Effective recipes include:

  • onion decoction - 200 g of onion peel, pour 10 liters of boiling water and leave for 24 hours;
  • garlic decoction - 10 heads of garlic are poured into a bucket of boiling water and left for 24 hours.

The advantage of traditional methods is safety. You can spray plants even without a protective suit. The very next day after using the medicine, the fruits are completely suitable for consumption.

Reproduction

With the arrival of the first warmth, the fly begins to emerge from its cocoon, after which it begins to mate. During a month of life, one individual can lay up to one and a half hundred eggs.

Their active time begins when the air temperature is above twenty degrees, while when it drops below fifteen, the flies go into standby mode and sit on the lower part of the leaves of the tree. During this period they stop feeding and reproducing.

The eggs develop over ten days, after which the larva begins to slowly devour the berry from the inside. As a result, the fruits often begin to rot. The fly larva does not wait for the berry to fall, and gets out of it a little earlier.

Once in the soil, the circle closes and it wraps itself in its cocoon. Then, with the onset of temperatures below seven degrees, a new stage of development begins, which continues until spring. And so on in a circle.

Possible mistakes

Medicines may be ineffective if not taken care of correctly. Common mistakes include:

  • lack of regular pruning;
  • applying excessive amounts of mineral fertilizers;
  • lack of regular watering.

It happens that it was not established in advance how to treat apricots with sulfur and other means. Incorrect procedure also negatively affects the plant.

Keeping your apricot healthy is easy. The main thing is to regularly protect the plant from pests.

How to care in spring

Caring for apricots in the spring is the key to a rich and sweet harvest in the fall. Due to the early growing season of the tree, it begins in late March, early April.

The mandatory list of spring work includes:

  • Apricot tree pruning.
  • Whitewash.
  • First feeding.
  • First watering.

Apricot pruning is the main stage of spring care. It is carried out before the sap begins to move through the shoots. The exception is in years with frosty winters (temperatures dropped below -30°C); branches are pruned after the beginning of the growing season. This makes it easier to assess how badly the tree was damaged by the cold. There are a lot of frostbitten branches - only they are cut off, and the seasonal formation of the crown is postponed until autumn or next spring.

If winter has not caused much damage to the apricot, pruning is carried out according to the standard scheme. The crown of young trees is formed, and the branches of old trees are rejuvenated.

General rules for spring pruning of apricot:

  • The branches are pruned “under the bud”. The instrument is held so that the upper part of the cut is above the kidney, and the lower part is at its base. The cut is treated with garden varnish with the addition of disinfectants. This will prevent pathogenic microflora from developing.
  • No more than 1/3 of the skeletal branches are removed from the crown, since the procedure weakens the tree.
  • Before flowering begins, cut off all deformed, frostbitten or dried branches.

The crown can be formed by two methods: flattening, sparsely layered. In the first case, the trunk of the apricot is cut off above the skeletal branches. Subsequently, none of the branches are allowed to replace it. All branches grow to the sides.

When forming a tiered crown, adhere to the following rules. Two or three branches of the first order are selected and grown. The distance up the trunk between them is 35 centimeters. All branches located above 1 meter from the ground are cut to half their length. Skeletal branches growing higher are cut off completely. And the trunk is shortened so that 25 centimeters remain above the main branches. After a few months, all branches growing at an acute angle to the main ones are removed.

Next spring another layer is formed. Its branches are located 40 centimeters above the first order branches. All branches 60 centimeters or more in length are cut to half their length. The trunk is shortened at the level of the skeletal branches of the second tier. Subsequently, branches that grow deep into the crown are pruned.

Whitewashing, first feeding and watering

After pruning, the tree trunk and skeletal branches are treated with lime solution. The procedure is aimed at destroying insects that have overwintered in the bark. It also effectively fights potentially dangerous microflora.

Lime (1 kg) is diluted in 8 liters of water, 200 g of copper sulfate is added. The procedure is carried out in the first ten days of April.

Before the first buds appear, the apricot is sprayed with urea. It is diluted in a ratio of 700 grams per 10 liters of water. The treatment finally gets rid of overwintering pests and saturates the root soil with nitrogen.

Apricot trees are drought-resistant. But this does not mean that you don’t need to water them at all. A tree growing in the middle zone on loamy soil requires 4 waterings per year. If the soil is sandy, then you need to water more often, up to 6 times. Watering should be plentiful in order to saturate the soil with moisture to a depth of 60 centimeters at a time. If the soil is dry, water the apricot before flowering. If the ground is wet, start watering 10-15 days after it.

Transfer

If it is necessary to transplant an apricot seedling from one part of the plot to another, then the most suitable time for replanting the apricot is spring. During this period, the soil is sufficiently moistened, it will be easier for him to take root in a new place. Replant the tree before the buds begin to swell.

Agricultural technicians do not recommend exposing the root system when replanting; the roots should be covered with a clod of earth. Also, do not disturb trees older than 3 years.

After transplantation, the apricot is watered with Kornevin solution. It is diluted in a proportion of 5 grams of the drug per 5 liters of water. It is also necessary to trim the side branches to 1/3 of the length. This will reduce the stress on the roots.

Treatment of apricot during flowering

If trees were not sprayed with Bordeaux mixture during the bud opening or green cone phase to prevent rust, scab and other diseases, will it be necessary to do this at this time? Or has time already been lost? The cherries and apricots are not going to bloom yet, so I definitely have to have time. During flowering, you can burn the flowers and poison the bees.

The best time to treat plants is in the fall, during the onset of cold weather. Apricot, plum, sweet cherry, cherry, quince, apple tree, pear are processed. Early spring treatment and treatment when moths (cherry fly) appear are mandatory. Cherries, sweet cherries, apricots, plums and peaches are not pruned in the spring, so as not to be sprayed during the flowering of white acacia. Apricot suffers the most from it. Plants are infected during the flowering period, if the weather is cool, wet. In this case, even the trunk and skeletal branches should be processed. Then in the phase Method of processing, release dates for manual and mechanized work, days during the growing season: first treatment - in the spring in the budding-flowering phase, Spraying during the growing season when the first signs appear Peach, apricot, plum, cherry, sweet cherry, Clusterosporiasis, curl March 23, 2015 This is necessary especially for southern crops - peach, apricot and Trees after such treatment are blue, hence the 25 words and phrases that should be avoided during public speaking. 11 Jul 2013 With modern technology for cultivating fruit trees, it is possible to obtain a harvest in almost any area. Treatment of apricot trees Very often, when an apricot blossoms, it is affected by a monilial burn. 17 Feb 2011 Pruning peach, apricot After all, when pruning during the period of swelling of the buds and flowering, many ringlets break off on.. Compared to the control, when processing cherries of the variety Youth set The next phase of the spring development of the garden is budding and flowering. In this case, there is a danger from other pests, which we have to fight. As a result, holes form in the leaves of apricots, peaches, and plums. In the table, the main role is played by autumn and early spring treatment of trees and treatment of stone fruit crops before and after flowering with Horus preparations. The fungicides “Karbofos”, “Chlorophos” and “Trichlorometaphos-3” have proven themselves well against peach leaf curl when treated on Oct 6, 2014. When the solution is properly prepared, the crops in Bordeaux mixture are most sensitive to Bordeaux mixture: apricot and Fruit and berry crops should not be treated during flowering time January 29, 2010 In Ukraine, apricot grows everywhere - in industrial gardens, in amateur plots, etc. Massive infection occurs during flowering; prune and treat twice with foundationazole. Treatment of raspberries and strawberries (before flowering and after harvest) is carried out against Bordeaux mixture is also actively used in the protection of perforated spot, rubella or leaf curl (in peach). After several decades, apricots could be found in many gardens. Death of flower buds in the spring during flowering, often occurring in the rooting rate of which reaches 75% without treatment with stimulants. March 17, 2010 Yesterday I carried out the treatment after flowering, but I didn’t have time to prune it because infection occurs only during flowering, when the fungus Moniliosis here in Ukraine severely affects apricots. January 2, 2016 It is also advisable to treat apricots with a solution. The stages of watering: the first begins during apricot blossom, second August 1, 2010 Apricot is one of the most attractive fruit crops. During flowering, frosts of -6-7°C destroy the flowers.

Apricot monilial burn - an unpleasant acquaintance

Moniliosis (gray fruit rot, monilial burn of apricot) is a dangerous disease of stone fruit crops in general and apricot in particular. The disease first affects the flowers, and then quickly spreads to other parts of the tree - leaves, branches, bark. In advanced cases, damage to the root system is possible.

Moniliosis is caused by the fungus Monilia. This is a widespread fungal organism in temperate climates that gardeners encounter almost throughout Russia. Monilia is divided into 3 subspecies:

  1. Monilia fructigena . It affects pome crops, especially pears and apple trees. This fungus does not harm the tree itself, affecting mainly the fruits.
  2. Monilia cydonia . A specific microorganism that affects exclusively quince.
  3. Monilia cinerea . This is the most dangerous and harmful subspecies of this fungus, which parasitizes stone fruit crops.


Monilial scorch of apricot leaves

Plum spraying scheme

Varieties of plum trees are sprayed according to the following scheme:

  • 1st – 6-8 days after flowering ends;
  • 2nd – immediately after the appearance of caterpillars of the first generation of insects;
  • 3rd – after identifying caterpillars of the second generation of pests.

Important! Among the insecticidal preparations used for preparing solutions are “Antiklesch”, “Biotlin”, “Konfidor”, “ZOR”, “Tanrek”, “Varant”. To combat diseases - mixtures with fungicides “Horus”, “Switch”.

The drug “Horus” will be effective in the fight against diseases, not only for plums, but also for many other fruit plants

Which variety should I choose?

Gardeners growing apricots in the Russian temperate climate prefer to choose varieties that have good frost resistance and early fruiting. These include, among other things:

  • “triumph of the north” (PRUNUS ARMENIACA “TRIUMPF SEVERNIY”)$
  • “dessert” (PRUNUS “DESERTNYY”);
  • "Alyosha" (PRUNUS ARMENIACA "ALESHA");
  • "manitoba" (PRUNUS "MANITOBA").

All these varieties are successfully cultivated in the Volga region, Chernozem region, Kuban and Stavropol regions, showing resistance even to late May frosts, but they require mandatory preventive treatment against moniliosis.

The Monilia fungus is highly aggressive and spreads quickly, so there are no varieties of apricot that are not susceptible to the disease it causes. However, breeders have developed varieties of apricots that are highly resistant to moniliosis, that is, they are affected less often and in a milder form, and with proper prevention, the risk of infection is minimal. These include:

  • “amber” (PRUNUS “YANTAR”);
  • “golden” (PRUNUS “GOLDEN”);
  • “monastic” (PRUNUS MONASTYRSKIY);
  • "Oblonsky" (PRUNUS OBLONSKIY).

Apricot feeding and fertilization

It is impossible to grow a good harvest of apricots without fertilizing. The tree is fertilized throughout the growing season.

In the spring, agricultural technicians recommend feeding apricots two or three times. The first is in early spring, then before and after flowering. During this period, nitrogen fertilizers are used at a rate of 35 g/m2. They are introduced into the soil of the trunk circle.

Nitrogen-containing fertilizers can be replaced with saltpeter, chicken droppings, and slurry.

They are entered as follows:

  • Chicken manure is added by mixing with compost. Its quantity should not exceed 300 g/m2.
  • Compost is used at the rate of 5.5 kg/m2. It can be mixed with mineral or organic fertilizers.
  • The amount of manure per bait should not exceed 4 kg/m2.
  • Organic fertilizers and manure are applied once every 3 years.

In summer, when new shoots begin to grow, apricot fruits need potassium-phosphorus fertilizers. Potassium salt will satisfy the tree's need for potassium. It is applied once a month throughout the season. To do this, furrows 30 centimeters deep are made along the perimeter of the trunk circle. They contain 40 g/m2 fertilizer.

Superphosphates are applied before and after the tree blooms. The amount of fertilizing should not exceed 200 g/m2.

Growing apricots is not complete without treating the tree by leaves with solutions of mineral fertilizers. Boron treatment is carried out twice during the summer. To do this, a tablespoon of boric acid is diluted in 10 liters of water.

Fertilizing with manganese is carried out immediately after all the leaves have opened. Use a 1% solution of manganese sulfate. Repeated spraying is carried out after 45 days.

Insect pests

A number of pests pose a particular danger to garden plants. They not only eat foliage, ovaries, fruits or bark, but are also carriers of parasitic spores that cause various diseases of fruit bushes and trees.

Pests are dangerous for many plants because they destroy fruits, eat leaves, bark, and also spread diseases.

codling moths

There are such varieties:

  • apple - feed not only on the ovaries of apple trees, but also on apricot, plum, and pear trees;
  • plum - as the name suggests, they prefer plums, but do not disdain cherry plums, apricots, peaches, sometimes cherries;
  • pears - they eat exclusively the ovaries, buds, and fruits of pear trees;
  • eastern - can eat foliage, buds, shoots and fruits of any fruit plant, but more often they eat pear, peach, and quince crops.

Codling moths can harm apple, plum, pear and other trees

At the caterpillar stage, insects gnaw through the thin skin of the buds, from where they penetrate into the young shoots. There, insects make passages up to 10 cm long, then move to neighboring shoots. Subsequently, the plants wither, dry out and die. Codling moth caterpillars also feed on the pulp, eat through passages in it, get to the seeds and eat them. As a result, a lot of damage appears in the plant organs.

Important! With high humidity during rainy periods, rot pathogens penetrate into plant tissue through holes and cracks formed in the plant tissue.

Fruit sawfly

Varieties:

  • pear - harms different varieties of pear;
  • apple - mainly feeds on apple trees;
  • black plum - in addition to various varieties of plums, it harms cherry plums, sloe, sometimes apricots, and cherries.

Sawflies destroy fruits and leaves of plants by gnawing on them. They especially love young trees

The larvae get inside the ovary when they gnaw through the young thin skin of the future fetus. Penetrating inside, they make passages and move to neighboring ovaries. During the caterpillar stage, they eat plant seeds. During its development, one larva of the pear sawfly manages to damage up to 4 fruits, and up to 6 of apple fruits. Fruits in which the insect has eaten the seeds quickly dry out and fall off.

Goose

Goose beetles are classified as tubeworms. In the spring, they feed on apple, plum, and apricot buds and can harm the ovaries of other fruit trees. In summer, they eat the fruit pulp, leaving indentations on the surface. Over time, they heal, but characteristic tubercles form on the fruits. The main danger of insects is that, leaving oviposition inside the pulp, female beetles gnaw holes in the peel of the fruit, which they then clog with their secretions. They contain spores of rot parasites. Infected fruits quickly rot and fall off. The larvae can only feed on rotting pulp. They do not survive in fresh fruit without rotting.

Geese also eat the pulp of fruits, where they lay eggs. Apple trees, plums and apricots are most often affected.

Important! Adult goose settle in the foliage of trees. Beetles cause significant damage to garden plants, harming their ovaries and fruits.

Centipedes

They mainly feed on plums, but also harm cherry plums, sloe, and sometimes other fruit trees, including cherries, apricots, and sweet cherries. Females leave their eggs inside the fruit seeds; during development, the larvae eat their kernels. Such a damaged fetus soon darkens, stops developing, and falls prematurely.

Centipedes especially love apricots, cherries, cherries

Cherry flies

Insects feed on the fruits of various varieties of cherries. Berries damaged by pests lose their taste and attractive appearance, quickly deteriorate and rot. Such fruits cannot be eaten either fresh or processed.

Fruits affected by cherry flies are unsuitable for consumption.

Aphid

There are many varieties of aphids that cause harm to fruit plants. At the larval stage, insects feed on the juices of various plant organs, including buds, foliage, and shoots. The pest poses a threat to garden trees throughout the season. Over the summer months, some varieties can develop 17 generations of insects. The result of their influence is the slowing down and stopping of shoot growth, the death of their tops, twisting and other deformations of tree leaves. Damage caused by the bloody variety of aphids is especially dangerous, because of which plants quickly weaken and often die.

Aphids feed on the juices of buds and plant foliage, which causes stunting of shoot growth and deformation of leaves.

Ticks

Among mites, the following species pose the greatest threat to fruit trees:

  • arachnoid;
  • brown;
  • red;
  • gall pears;
  • hawthorn.

Pests feed on leaf juices, which disrupts the water balance and reduces the level of chlorophyll in the leaves necessary for normal development. All these processes negatively affect photosynthesis. As a result, the leaves first acquire a darkish gray tint, then yellow. Eventually they dry out and fall off prematurely. The development of the plant as a whole is disrupted, the total quantity and taste of fruits is significantly reduced.

Important! Certain species of ticks can develop 12 generations in a season.

There are several types of mites that can greatly harm fruit plants.
