Hello, everybody. I'm Xi Xiaochu who loving gardening
Many of my friends like the fruit trees I grow
And fresh fruit harvested
Like peaches, cherries, apricots, apples and so on
But fruit trees often have a variety of pests and diseases
It's a headache
Today I'm here to help you reduce pests and diseases
I'm going to share this episode
Three effective ways to reduce pests and diseases
To protect the fruit trees in our backyard
The first method is the lime sulfur
lime sulfur is the one I have on my hands
It's called lime sulfur in English
I guess some of you know, it's said that in the countryside
Farmers add their own water with quicklime and sulfur
Boiled in a cauldron
But we actually planted a few fruit trees in our backyard
You don't have to make it yourself
You can buy it at a gardening tool store like Bunnings
This is a concentrated liquid, a small bottle can be used for a long time
It's cheap
lime sulfur is mainly used in apple peach
Grape, jujube, plum, pear and cherry
Citrus trees such as this one can also be used for flowers
Wheat, beans, tea, etc
Such plants can be both insecticidal and fungicidal
The effect is very good, mainly for the control of scale insects
Aphids also have mites, such as the leaf mites
Pests such as rust mites
At the same time, it can control powdery mildew and leaf roll disease
Canker's ulcer, canker
A disease of such fungal infections as scab
A friend might think this is a pesticide
Do not use your own home-grown fruit trees
In fact, if this pesticide will use the right
Will greatly reduce the number of pests and diseases for fruit trees
Produce high quality fruit and it is of low toxicity
The low residual and residual fraction is calcium
A compound of an element such as sulfur
These elements
In fact, it is a necessary medium element for the growth of plants
So comparing with the fruit trees are infected with pests and germs
The fruit is broken, the tree withers
The proper use of the drug actually does more good than harm
Now I'm going to show you the right way to use lime sulfur compound
Must use the lime sulfur correctly
First of all, we need to know when to use
The Best Use Time of lime sulfur
It was after the winter dormancy of the trees
Until the dawn of early spring
This time the use is commonly known as clearing the orchard
It can remove the pests and germs that survive in the winter on the tree body of the fruit tree
This can be greatly reduced
The rate of fruit diseases and insect pests in the coming year
Used during this time because it is before the flower blooms
So it doesn't affect the flowers or the fruit
There's another reason
That is, the harm of the lime sulfur is proportional to the temperature
The higher the temperature, the greater the harm
Therefore, the use of lime sulfur during the winter dormancy period is minimal harm
But in fruit and vegetable growth period and anthesis should be used with caution
To avoid damage
The second is to do a good job in protection measures
When it comes to diluting and spraying
You should wear thicker long-sleeved clothes and trousers
Such a protective garment
And wear a mask if you have protective glasses
Better still wear protective glasses
Because the lime sulfur doesn't smell good
Mucous membrane of the eye and nose
The skin has a certain degree of irritation
Once the liquid is spilled on the skin
Rinse immediately with plenty of water
When we're done, we can start dispensing
We refer to the dilution ratio on the bottle
Just dilute
This concentrated solution contains 20 per cent of the medicament
The ones I'm going to spray today are nectarine and apricot
The apple tree follows the instructions for dilution
The dilution ratio of the trees I'm going to spray is
Fifty milliliters of liquid lime sulfur per liter of water
This way, after dilution, you can use it directly
Now the nectarine tree has sprouted flowers
Do not spray and so on period of time flower bud bulge
It doesn't work when it blooms
So we should spray it on before it rains in the recent two days
Spray it from top to bottom and cover it
All the branches are to be sprayed
And that's it, when it's done
The bark of the tree will be white
None of my trees are tall and belong to saplings
If it's a tall tree
It is also recommended to use a large sprayer with a long handle
I usually do this spray once a year in winter
There is also a cautionary note on the use of lime sulfur
Is to avoid long-term use
Because long-term use of disease and insect resistance
The higher the concentration, the faster the resistance
So I usually only use it once a year
The second method I used
Here's that fruit tree grease band
After a couple of weeks of applying lime sulfur
You can use this second insect - proof device for fruit trees
This is the fruit tree grease band
It is used for insect control on the trunk of a fruit tree
Is very suitable for organic fruit tree and orchards
Because it's physical insect control
Mainly to prevent winter moth pests
The moth lurks in the soil around the roots of the tree
In the late winter and early spring
The female moth's adult will crawl out of the soil
The female of this winter moth has short wings but it cannot fly
They would climb up the tree trunk to lay eggs
These eggs turn into caterpillars in the trees
These caterpillars eat leaves and flowers
It also chews off the fruit buds and fruit
Especially trees like apple, plum, cherry and pear
In the summer, these caterpillars are full
Grow up and climb down along the branches and trunks
And burrowed back into the ground and pupae through the fall
In winter the pupae hatch out a moth
The male moth flew away
The female then climbs the tree to lay eggs
So there's grease on one side of this band
Can stick a female moth that wants to climb a tree to lay eggs
They won't be able to climb the trees to lay eggs
Here's how it works
Cut a section according to the size of the trunk
And then you open up the fold
Inside is a very sticky grease
Then put the side with the grease out
This is about forty-five centimeters above the height of the trunk
Keep as tight a perimeter as possible in this position
Do not leave a gap between them
And then we tie it with this rope
To keep it from falling
The rope should also be as tight as possible
In fact, there is a thin wire in this rope
It's easy to tie
From top to bottom
All right, that's it
This method
Can effectively prevent winter moth and crawling insect pests
One thing to watch out for when tying up
If there are other plants close to the tree trunk
You have to trim these plants out of the neighborhood
Or try to move it
In case bugs come crawling over these plants
This is a very simple and safe method
A third approach may not be available at some home
But if there is, it's very effective
If you keep chicken at home
It can happen in the fall and winter
Intentionally put the chicken near the fruit tree
Let the chicken a fruit orchard day tour
So the chicken will be happy to help you find
The bugs in the soil around the fruit trees
Including the pupae of the moths from the previous method
The chickens will help you eat the insects hidden in the ground
It's not just climbing trees
Even the ones that can fly up trees
Can be aten overwinter while the insects are still in the soil
Destroy it early
This should be the greenest of the three methods
Chickens are happy, trees are happy and people are happy
Three at a time
Okay
These 3 kinds of methods are I used to give fruiter prevent insect
Dense magic weapon
Can you produce good fruit in summer and autumn
We're counting on them
