In the spring, plants are sprayed to prevent the invasion of successfully overwintered insects and possible fungal diseases that have settled in the garden during warm and humid weather.
In summer, the treatment is repeated to destroy new generations of pests and provide nutritional supplements for better growth trees and high-quality fruiting.
Autumn spraying is carried out after harvesting as a preventive measure garden in the fight against garden diseases, the absence of which is observed already next year.
For processing, you need to have a manual piston-type sprayer or a special compressor, protective equipment against chemicals (rubber gloves, goggles and a respirator), auxiliary equipment (ladder, stepladder, additional hoses) and preparations for spraying trees.
A homogeneous solution must be applied evenly to the trunk, branches and foliage on the outside and back of all trees on the site, otherwise the treatment will be of poor quality and will bring little benefit.
The advantages of this processing method are that it is simultaneously applied:
- for pest control;
- to combat various diseases;
- for feeding plants.
Preparations for spraying are of chemical, biological and plant origin.

- Herbal preparations - infusions and decoctions of herbs containing specific substances (insecticides) - are most popular among gardeners as they are harmless to the environment.
- Chemicals are necessary when processing the garden, their action is the most productive.
- Copper sulfate. Used for processing fruit trees in the morning or evening in spring before leaves appear and in autumn after leaf fall. 10 liters is enough for one fruit-bearing tree ready solution.
- (urea). It is used after fruit trees have finished flowering in about a week in the ratio of 50 g of carbamide solution per 10 liters of water. In this case, not only the tree itself is processed, but also the soil around it.
- Inkstone. It is an excellent means of protecting against pests, garden diseases, as well as excellent feeding plants, as a result of which their growth accelerates and the fruitfulness of the tree increases.

The principle is to create around the barrel something like a bowl into which you can pour oil, or a section of barrier, the surface of which is lubricated with grease. Falling into such a trap, insects are unable to move and die.
- Insect trap light traps are used for flying insects in the evening. Then the caught individuals are destroyed.
- During mass flight, moths use pheromone traps that attract adult males, but this method does not work on larvae and caterpillars.

Attracting fauna representatives
Please note that the garden where birds live looks much more attractive. For this 
it is necessary to create conditions for the constant presence in the garden of birds, hedgehogs, and bats, whose diet includes insect pests.
