Bordeaux mix for raspberries. How to treat raspberries during fruiting and flowering from pests. Wood ash with soap

Many summer residents consider it pointless to find and apply efforts in the garden if, in the end, they do not have a good basket of sweet raspberries. A truly legendary berry, distinguished by its unique taste and sweetness.

Treatment

In order to get the richest harvest possible, the processing of raspberries should begin in the spring. This will be an investment for the future.

After the cold weather subsides, various insects will begin to get out of the ground, which will eat everything in their path. In addition, during this period, the risk of infection of the bush with various diseases and viruses is increased.

How to process raspberries? A regular garden pruner will do. After the snow melts, you need to remove all dried and unhealthy branches.

You need to prune before the plant wakes up and juice starts to run through it. Otherwise, the plant may get sick. The ideal period is the end of March, but our country has many climatic zones and this must be taken into account.

What should be done:

• Trim off dried tops.
• Broken or loose branches.
• Those trunks that can begin to grow inside the bush.
• Dried foliage.

Spraying

If you do not know how to spray raspberries during flowering, it is better to consult with experienced gardeners, this is the easiest and most reliable way not to hit your face in the dirt. If relations with neighbors are not established, and you do not have familiar summer residents, then let's figure out what's what.

In the spring, you need to take care of the processing of raspberries from pests. During this period, it is best to apply Bordeaux liquid and nitrophene.

These compounds are capable of destroying harmful spores and viruses that begin to wake up after a long hibernation. You can also additionally cultivate the land around the plant, this will reduce the likelihood of pests reappearing.

It is necessary to process raspberries with this composition before flowering and budding, because it is better not to disturb young flowers, which, due to stress, may not yield a harvest.

In the summer, raspberries are processed before flowering from pests if the spring procedures did not work. If signs of disease begin to appear on the bush and leaves, spots or leaves begin to turn yellow, you must first determine the disease.

If, for example, your bush suffers from powdery mildew, it is better to use a store-bought remedy "Topaz". If you need to treat raspberries before flowering from pests, and you are against the use of chemicals, you can use folk remedies, for example, a decoction of pine needles can destroy gray rot.

During flowering

There is still controversy over the question "Is it possible to process raspberries during flowering or not?" Each gardener decides for himself, and assesses the degree of possible risk.

Some believe that modern formulations are adapted for processing during the flowering period, but people of the old mind do not allow the thought of the contact of berries with drugs. The way out of this situation is folk remedies that are made from the same plants.

To fight fungal infections, a tincture of garlic and water is perfect. For cooking, you need to chop the head of garlic and throw everything into a bucket of water. After a few hours, the product can be filtered to remove excess garlic, and used to treat the affected areas of the bush.

By implementing micro pest control activities in the spring and summer, you can increase your overall yield. In addition, he will be larger and healthier, since nothing will stop him from growing and filling.

It must also be remembered that the fight against fungi, infections and viruses must be combined with the fight against beetles. One large beetle can personally damage an entire bush.

Beetle control

The first treatment for all kinds of pests should begin before the first buds appear. Before spraying raspberries from pests, you need to remove the defective areas of the plant.

Bordeaux liquid is perfect for this purpose, it fights not only microscopic, but also large pests.

Just before the flowering period, you need to process the plant again, but this time with colloidal sulfur. However, it is used only in situations where the plant is threatened by a spider mite. Only the undersides of the leaves need to be treated.

Conclusion

If an ailment is found in a raspberry plant, you need to immediately take appropriate measures, otherwise you risk losing your entire crop.

In some cases, especially when the disease is running, you will have to get rid of the whole bush. This is necessary in order to stop the spread of the disease. The infected bush must be removed by the roots and burned.

Adhering to the planting rules, carrying out all agrotechnical techniques, observing the timing of treatment with fungicides and insecticides, it is not difficult to get a decent harvest of fragrant berries.

Raspberries are one of the most common berries in Russia. Delicious, sweet, extremely healthy. During the summer season, you want to eat plenty of fragrant berries, feed your children and grandchildren with them, make stewed fruit and jams for the winter. To realize the entire list of desires, you will need a lot of raspberries, therefore, increased attention should be paid to the issues of increasing yields and preserving the quality of fruits. Raspberry pests and diseases can negate all the gardener's efforts to grow raspberries. Before writing this article, we read a lot of notes on the processing of raspberries in the spring. However, the lion's share of the material contained general information related to spring pruning of bushes, feeding them, mulching the soil, etc. There were very few specific clear instructions specifically on spring treatment for diseases and pests. We will try to fill this gap, approach the problem in a structured way and describe all the options for protecting raspberries, both chemical and folk remedies.

When to process.

The first preventive treatment for diseases and pests of raspberries should be carried out in early spring. On the territory of Russia, early spring is a loose concept. When plants bloom in the southern regions, snow may still lie in the Urals and Siberia, therefore, first of all, it is worth focusing not on specific dates, but on weather conditions and vegetative signs of the plant. The first spring spraying should be carried out from the moment of spring pruning of the shrub (this issue is discussed in detail in a separate one) and completed about a week before flowering. Before pruning, it is irrational to carry out processing, firstly, the process will be more laborious and costly, and secondly, why pour excess "poison" onto the soil if you already remove some of the pests and diseased stems from the raspberry tree during pruning. Spraying later - during flowering, is generally strictly prohibited. The protective agent will scare away pollinating insects. You will most likely get rid of diseases and pests, but you will not see a crop from non-pollinated plants either. If you often visit your site and have the opportunity to carry out agrotechnical measures just in time, then the optimal time for spring spraying of raspberries is the period of active budding, and this is about 7-10 days before the beginning of flowering, i.e. the very end of the interval that we have described.

Pest control

The treatment of raspberries in early spring from pests depends on whether you know exactly what pests the raspberry is affected by or if you want to use some kind of universal remedy for everything and hope that it will help with your ailment. How to identify which pests are terrorizing your raspberries? In the section "" of the site, the site describes in detail all possible pests, indicating their impact on plants and measures of prevention and control. But specifically, we will discuss the protection of raspberries from the most famous pests in early spring in this article.

Raspberry beetle

A large number of chemicals successfully fight the raspberry beetle. In addition, insecticides from the raspberry beetle destroy the larvae and adults of weevils and leafworms, so with one spraying you can defeat several misfortunes at once.

What and in what proportions should be applied in the end? The preparations "Iskra", "Confidor", "Guapsin", "Inta-Vir", "Nitrofen" are suitable for us. The preparation should be diluted in accordance with the instructions on the package, for example, half of the Iskra tablet is diluted in 5 liters of water, and Karbofos will need 45 g for the same 5 liters.

Among folk remedies, a popular remedy for treating raspberries from a raspberry beetle in early spring is tansy infusion. To prepare the infusion, 300 g of tansy is poured with 5 liters of water and kept for about a day, after which it is brought to a boil and cooked over low heat for about ½ hour. Another 5 liters of water are added to the resulting solution, filtered and used for spraying.

Stem fly

In case of damage to the raspberry by the stem fly, you can use the drugs already described: "Iskra", "Karbofos". Many gardeners give their preference to the intestinal preparation Actellik. To prepare the working solution, 1 ampoule of the drug (2 ml) is diluted in 2 liters. water. Spraying with Aktellik is desirable in early spring, the agent is toxic to bees and it is strictly forbidden to use it during flowering.

Raspberry gall midge

The drug Aktellik, already known to us, is also successfully used for spring spraying from raspberry gall midge. You should also pay attention to Fufanon. This drug is diluted in a ratio of 1 g / 1 liter. water, and each plant takes about 2 liters. funds.

Spider mite.

One of the most popular forms of spring treatment of raspberries for spider mites is spraying with colloidal sulfur. 100 g of the product is diluted in a 10-liter bucket and the resulting solution is sprayed on the plants before flowering.

Raspberry-strawberry weevil.

The raspberry-strawberry weevil affects the buds, therefore, spraying from it is carried out during the period of active budding, i.e. not in the earliest spring, after the snow melts, but about a week before flowering. To combat the pest, you can do without chemicals, a folk remedy made on the basis of garlic has proven itself well. To prepare, you need to stir 30 g of finely grated garlic in a glass of water and infuse "raspberry medicine" for 5 days in a dark place. Then strain the composition and dilute a quarter of a glass of the resulting solution in a glass of water and spray with the resulting mixture. Spraying garlic also helps to combat spider mites, as well as many fungal diseases of raspberries.

If you ate the spring processing of the raspberry beetle from the raspberry beetle, then additional processing from the raspberry-strawberry weevil is no longer required.

Bordeaux liquid has long been considered a universal remedy that helps in a complex way against many pests, and it is actively used to this day. However, time does not stand still, and now there are more effective and safe drugs. For example, Nitrafen, Topaz, Actellik, are distinguished by a wide spectrum of action and, at the same time, are quite safe for humans.

Disease protection

Treatment of raspberries in early spring for diseases most often consists in spraying the plant with Bordeaux liquid. The first spraying is carried out immediately after the snow melts, using a 3% solution of this fungicide. At this time, the spring sanitary pruning has already been carried out, the diseased areas of the stems have been removed, therefore, it is extremely difficult to say which of the diseases will develop in the future. Bordeaux mixture is considered a universal remedy not only for pest control, but also for the prevention of many diseases. If some disease begins to actively affect the raspberry plantings, then it will be necessary to fight it pointwise, perhaps using some kind of profile fungicide.

Gray rot

One treatment with Bordeaux liquid, carried out in early spring, should be enough to protect the raspberry from gray rot. If in the last season the disease actively manifested itself, and you want to play it safe, then additionally you need to spray with a 1% solution of Bordeaux liquid during the budding period. The method of our grandmothers, who in the spring laid out pine needles in the raspberry, has also worked well, which mulches the soil and helps in the fight against gray rot.

Anthracnose

One of the best drugs for raspberry anthracnose is Nitrafen. Treatment with this agent is recommended to be carried out in early spring, before the buds swell. 150 g of Nitrafen is diluted with 10 liters. water and spray. Nitrafen has a wide range of applications, therefore it can be considered as one of the main means for spring processing of raspberries from pests and diseases.

The most popular spring treatments for raspberries

Ammonia

Treatment of raspberries with ammonia in the spring solves two problems at once. Firstly, ammonia is an excellent remedy for the prevention of a wide range of diseases and pests, and secondly, a source of nitrogen, which is especially needed by raspberries in the spring for an active set of green mass. To understand the effect of ammonia, you need to understand what it is in terms of composition. If we look at the instructions, we will see that ammonia is nothing more than a 10% ammonia solution. And all organic fertilizers, for example, bird droppings, are converted as a result of chemical reactions into ammonia, which is then converted in the soil under the influence of oxygen into nitrates and nitrites, which are already absorbed by the root system of plants. It turns out ammonia - it is exactly the same fertilizer as organic matter, you should not be afraid of it, it cannot bring anything “bad” into the soil.

Under raspberries, ammonia is added at the rate of 5 liters of working solution per 1 bush. The working solution itself is made by mixing 1-2 tablespoons of ammonia with 5 liters of water. The solution is poured over the soil around the plant. Watering must be done in the spring, but not early, the soil should already warm up, otherwise the ammonia will simply not be absorbed by the roots. Excellent results are shown by the combination of the introduction of ammonia into the soil with mulching.

Be careful when working with ammonia! Alcohol can cause skin burns, damage to the mucous membranes of the eyes, so the treatment is best done with gloves and take precautions.

Urea

Spring treatment of raspberries with urea (carbamide) is similar to treatment with ammonia. By one means we are again killing two birds with one stone. We feed the plant with nitrogen that is so necessary in the spring and fight against diseases and pests. It is for the purpose of pest control that the urea solution must be concentrated, because destruction occurs by contact and the "weak" solution simply will not work. A concentrated solution can burn young shoots and foliage, therefore, spraying can only be carried out in early spring, before the buds swell. To prepare a solution, 350 g of urea is diluted in a 5-liter bucket. One bucket of mixture is enough for about 20 m2 of raspberries.

Boiling water

One of our grandmothers' proven remedies is to boil raspberries in spring. This method seduces the lack of chemistry, economy, while it is very effective. Spraying raspberries with boiling water must be carried out before bud break in order to prevent the plant from burning and slowing down subsequent growth. The earliest spring is suitable for the event, before the snow melts, or immediately after the fall. The water temperature for raspberries must be maintained in the range of 60-70 degrees. This temperature regime will allow you to destroy most pests and spores of fungal diseases, while not harming the plant. For 1 bush, you need to spend about 1 watering can of boiling water. Watering must be done in one go, so the kidneys will not have time to heat up and will not be damaged. Do not spill the soil with boiling water, the raspberry roots are close to the surface, so they can get burned. When processing the stems on the ground, it is better to lay polyethylene so that the boiling water does not penetrate into the soil. To enhance the effect, caustic soda is often added to boiling water at the rate of a tablespoon per watering can. Don't confuse regular baking soda with caustic soda, they have different sodium derivatives and different pH levels.

Copper sulfate

Treatment of raspberries with copper sulfate in spring is an effective remedy for the prevention of fungal diseases, primarily anthracnose and gray rot. Copper sulfate is precisely a preventive drug, therefore it is used before the growing season, this is early spring immediately after the snow melts. If processing is carried out later, then copper sulfate will no longer help, it will not be able to cure anthracnose that has already spread through the plants, in addition, the agent can accumulate in the berries and their use is prohibited. To prepare a solution, 50 g of copper solution is diluted in a 5-liter bucket of water. Both the stems and the soil around the plants are sprayed, a 5-liter bucket is enough for about 10-15 bushes.

inkstone

Processing raspberries in spring with iron sulfate is also extremely effective. In some sources there is information that only copper sulfate should be used for raspberries, somewhere in general copper and iron sulfate are considered the same remedy, so let's figure it out together or not and what exactly iron sulfate will give us in the spring. Iron vitriol is one of the main products used in horticulture to replenish iron deficiency. As for raspberries, the lack of iron sulfate in this plant is common and is the cause of chlorosis. Iron sulfate treatment should be carried out immediately after the snow melts, i.e. in the earliest spring, because otherwise, there is a risk of damaging young kidneys. The working solution is made by stirring 50 g of ferrous sulfate in 10 liters. water.

Bordeaux mix

Processing raspberries in early spring with Bordeaux liquid is a proven way of preventing most diseases. Spraying is carried out in 2 ways. The first time the treatment is carried out in early spring, before bud break, by spraying a 3% solution of Bordeaux liquid (300 g copper sulfate + 300 g of lime per 10 liters of water). The second time, raspberries are treated in buds before flowering using a 1% solution of 100 g of copper sulfate + 100 g of lime per 10 liters. water). It is worth noting that Bordeaux liquid is an effective drug, but quite old, currently there are safer drugs. Instead of Bordeaux fluid, Oxyhom, Ordan, Ditan are often used. For example, the same Oxyhom is diluted in 10 liters. water is only 30 g, and to prepare a 3% solution of Bordeaux liquid, it needs 300 g. Constant use of Bordeaux liquid over-saturates the soil with copper, and copper, being a heavy metal, accumulates in the body and leads to liver problems.

To everyone who cares about the health of the berry and wants to get a generous return: how to process raspberries in the spring, when and when: methods, our mistakes. When spraying is money and raspberries down the drain, why tried and tested products do not work, and what to do.

Raspberry processing in spring: what we are doing wrong

Why is it important to process raspberries in early spring and repeat over time.

1. Timing of pests awakening: they are early and vary.
2. During active budding, opening of the buds, there is a high risk of damage.
3. When blooming, raspberries cannot be processed: this will scare off pollinators.

To each his own. Each pest reacts to a specific substance. There are no universal ones! So, the leaf roll in the phase of wrapped leaves is invulnerable to Calypso, Aktara, Mospilan, where D.V. - chloronictinoids. We need organophosphates based on which Zolon, Bazudin, Bi 58, Decis Forte.

Systemic insecticides (hornicitinils, oxadiazines, cyanamides, etc.) that are active against gnawing agents will not be active against ticks.

What to do? There are acaracides - Karbaphos, Zolon, Metaphos, Cydial, colloidal sulfur.

Important! Insecticides and acaracides are not the same thing. The former destroy all insects, the latter - only ticks. An insecticide can sometimes be acaracide.

Everything has its time. Raspberry processing is carried out not only in early spring.

• The raspberry gnat flies out with the beginning of the growing season, and after pupation and emergence during flowering, when the female makes a clutch, all treatments are useless: the larva makes its way into the tissue of the stems in order to get out again after a couple of months.
• Stem gall midge makes clutch later, at higher t.
• The weevil affects the buds - and early spring treatment is not a hindrance to it.
• The spider mite is active throughout the growing season.

Air temperature. All drugs are less effective at low t. The optimum temperature for use is usually indicated in the instructions. At t below + 12 ... + 15 ° C, above + 20 ... + 25 ° C, the efficiency of many is minimal.

So, Calypso works at t above +10 ° C, Karate is more effective at t below +20 ° C.

Adhesives are needed. Without them, the drug rolls down the sheet, and the effectiveness is reduced to naught. Do not use soapy water or other home remedies. Why? Soap is alkaline and reduces effectiveness.

What to do? If you are not ready to buy, the method of the times of the USSR: sugar syrup - 1. tbsp. spoon for 1 liter of water.

How to treat raspberries in spring against pests: to each his own

The processing of raspberries in the spring from pests begins at a time when the bud bursts, along a green cone, against some - at the beginning or middle of budding, 7-10 days before flowering - this is a general rule. And in 80% of cases, spraying has to be repeated.

How to spray raspberries in the spring against pests: species, preparations + a table by development phases

How to spray raspberries in early spring? For complex eradication spraying, treatment is carried out with urea (300-350 g per 10 l, consumption per 20 m2), 1-2% solution of copper sulfate on a green cone. It can be either urea, copper sulfate or ordinary Karbofos.

Stem gall midge (fly)

The first treatment is carried out in the spring, after the snow leaves with vitriol, urea. Before flowering in May, Actellik, Iskra, Karbofos, Agrovertin are used.

Advice! Be sure to mulch the plantings: this makes it difficult for insects to fly out.

Raspberry shoot gall midge (raspberry gnat)

The effect is facilitated by loosening and spraying of the near-stem circle, high-quality shedding of the stems at the base.

The first spraying of raspberries in early spring against pests - Actellik, Karbaphos, Karate, Calypso, Nurell, etc. Repeated - until the buds open - Actellik, Funfaron.

Raspberry beetle

From damaging leaves, buds, flowers and berries, it is important to carry out several activities. After trimming - Decis, Confidor, Iskra, Guapsin, Iskra. And they also say that the infusion of tansy is effective. And most importantly - digging up the soil in order to extract the wintering larvae to the surface.

Spider mite

He is recognized by the white holes in the leaves. The sweet tooth does tremendous damage: the entire bush withers and perishes. Most insecticides are powerless against him, and Cydial, Metaphos, colloidal sulfur will be used before the growing season.

Weevil

It affects the buds where the female lays the clutch, which reduces the yield by up to 50%: it is important to carry out processing at the beginning of budding.

Bordeaux liquid and copper are generally ineffective: Topaz, Actellik, Kemifos, Fufron, Alatar are used in accordance with the instructions.

Table 2. Spraying raspberries against diseases in spring in different phases of development: preparations, application features.

Development phase	Pests and diseases	A drug	Application
Before bud break, at the beginning (bud cracking)	Shoot gall midge, leaf-eating	Karate Calypso Iskra Actellic Kemiphos Karbofos	Spraying shoots, their bases, near-stem circle
	Weevil	Actellic Topaz Kemifos Fufron Altar	At the beginning of budding, before laying
Before flowering, in the phase of well-developed leaves	Spider mite, rust	Tiovit Jet Tsidial Metaphos	Processing of leaves on both sides, shoots, a sticky circle
	Raspberry beetle	Decis Confidor Spark Guapsin Aktara
Before bud break	Shoot gall midge, stem fly	When planted outdoors, mixing with soil
In the phase of the beginning of leaf blooming	Kidney moth	Kinmix
During bud break	Spider mite	Zolon Metaphos Phosphamide Cydial colloidal sulfur	Be careful when testing the leaves
In the phase of full foliage	Shoot gall midge, leafhoppers, raspberry beetle, leaf-eating beetles, ticks	Actellic, Kemifos	Activities are carried out until complete bud break
	Leaf roll	Bazudin Fufanon Aktelik Zolon

Important! Frequent use of copper-containing preparations leads to their accumulation in the soil and fruits.

On the other hand, choosing the lesser of two evils, it is more rational to use contact drugs, to which copper and its derivatives belong, than systemic ones, albeit more effective.

Treatment of raspberries against diseases in spring: everything is not easy

And with diseases, everything is not easy. Of the fungal diseases, anthracnose, gray rot, leaf spots: it is much easier with them. But there are three important points to keep in mind. Or even five.

1. All diseases are the result of low agricultural technology: thickened plantings, dampness, lack of nutrition. Or infected planting material.
2. Processing is carried out before active sporulation of fungi, carriers of viral diseases.
3. Most drugs work to suppress spores - not the fungus itself - and have a specific duration called a waiting period. The same applies to urea, copper preparations: the eradicating effect is due to the destruction of the vital activity of fungi, and their fungicidal activity against raspberry diseases is not high, as practice has shown.
4. The waiting period is not what we think it is: it is not the time to eat raspberries. This is the expiration date of the substance. After its completion, the treatment is repeated - most fungal in the season have several cycles of sporulation.
5. Biologicals - a preventive measure, maximum suppression of sporulation. The effect is often based on the action of antagonistic fungi - for example, Fitoverm (aversectin, based on strepiomyceous fungi). It is difficult to underestimate their effect at the initial stage, but even with a large-scale defeat, it is not worth overestimating.

Processing against viral: retreat to win

Viral ones are mosaic, curl of leaves, overgrowth, mezzanine chlorosis. The reason is a weakened immune system, which means a lack of nutrition. And most importantly - carriers: aphids, leafhoppers and others.

The main method is the destruction of the vectors and the bushes themselves, alas: agrochemistry is powerless against viral ailments.

Only a few means in combination with growth stimulants, top dressing will prolong the life of plants: there is no salvation against fusarium wilting, overgrowth.

Renovation of plantings will be humane in relation to health and economical method.

Raspberry processing includes several stages. The first is in early spring on a green cone, then after 10-14 days, the third is possible before flowering.

About viral ailments of raspberries:

Methods: Bordeaux liquid - immediately after the snow melts 2-3% R.R., urea. The second, as necessary, until the opening of the buds.

Raspberries are processed with copper 1% copper sulfate in the spring, immediately after the snow leaves, after sanitary cleaning, trimming the tops. Consumption 10 liters for 15-20 m2).

How to process raspberries in the spring? With the preparations listed below at the indicated time, by spraying, wetting all sides of the leaves, stems, slightly spraying the root circle.

When to process raspberries? In the southern regions, Ukraine, southern regions of Belarus - the middle of April and even the beginning. In Central Russia - the end of April, with late spring in some years until the beginning of May.

Raspberries are treated against gray rot, alternaria, purple spotting with 1% Bordeaux liquid at the beginning of budding, with a weak lesion of Cuproxat, with intense Oxyhom, Acrobat.

Table 2. Spraying of raspberries during leafing and foliage phase.

Development phase	Pests and diseases	A drug	Application
In the green cone phase	Anthracnose, didimella	Bordeaux mixture, copper preparations, urea	1-2% R.-R.
Before flowering, in the early leafing phase	Anthracnose, gray mold, purple leaf spot	Kemifos, Topaz, Thanos, Fundazol	Upon reaching the growth of the current goal of 15-20 cm, paying special attention to the base of the shoots, leaves on both sides, wetting the trunk circle
Full foliage	Spider mite, rust	Tiovit Jet, Fitoverm	Processing leaves on both sides, shoots, trunk circle
	Purple spot, anthracnose

In conclusion. The effect of many drugs has not been studied, as is the possibility of their accumulation in the soil, fruits, and our body. How the processing of raspberries will turn out - only time will tell.

And if about the fight until complete victory, then it is better to uproot the damaged bushes and send them outside the site: no drug will give a 100% guarantee. Let your raspberries not get sick, let no treatments be needed, and the harvest will be good!
