I wish that there are as few pests as possible in your gardens and vegetable gardens!

Is it time to fight for your crops?

Then make sure that the drugs used to control garden pests are as safe as possible for humans and their pets.

To protect yourself and your family, as well as your pets from harmful influence(the impact of) the drugs you use against harmful insects that spoil the branches of trees in the garden, you will need to evaluate the following areas. Here they are:

• You need to choose the least dangerous insecticide for humans.
• Be sure to choose the chemical content of the drugs that will not be harmful to the environment and will not harm nature.
• Try not to use the chosen product frequently in order to avoid the extermination of certain types of insects, which ultimately can have a bad effect on the further development of flora and fauna.
• If possible, use repellent plants that do the same thing as special ones. chemical substances, but without harm, in a natural way. This occurs due to the release and release of special substances - fintoncides (garlic, white mustard, sage, wormwood, celery, tomatoes, mint, onions, tansy, it all depends on neighboring plants).

Having assessed all the risk factors and chosen the option of using special drugs, you need to familiarize yourself with the direction of their action in order to choose the most suitable one.

What are garden pests?

Among all the pests in the garden, there are five most common in terms of their numbers:

• Feeding on tree bark. This includes bark beetles and mites, which use plant parts for shelter and pupation.
• Eaters of young green shoots and foliage (caterpillars, beetles, moths).
• Fruit pests (insects that like to eat fruit from trees enter by laying larvae).
• Aphid. Is a consumer of tree sap. It is dangerous because its numbers are always large; in addition, insects choose a place for their next feeding together. If such a horde settles in the bark of trees, it will quickly deplete the entire garden.
• Caterpillar (silkworm, leaf roller and others). Eats everything, even leaves.
• Cherry fly. Loves trees such as cherry or sweet cherry.
• Horticultural nematode. Laying eggs in parts of plants, it multiplies quickly and primarily destroys green shoots. Red spots indicate the presence of a nematode.
• Weevil beetle. After his visit, the trees in the garden stop developing their shoots and fruits.

There are dozens of species of known garden pests, so when choosing a remedy for them, it is better to opt for universal options that get rid of several species at once.

Bio-preparations

• Complex action tablet Spark, which easily dissolves in water (immediately kills sixty species of insects, including aphids and weevils). It enjoys the glory of versatility and “quick action,” that is, a remedy that can resist pests with a lightning-fast effect, although it is usually called “double effect.” Produced with potassium supplement to help the regenerating parts of the plant.
• Bio-preparation Iskra against ticks and aphids of targeted action. Typically sold with measuring utensils or in a measuring package that allows concentrated contents to be poured out a little at a time. Suitable for both fruit crops and vegetables, it can be used right up to the moment of harvest, even on ovaries or flowers. Capable of paralyzing insect pests harmlessly to humans. The biggest advantage of this drug is that in hot weather it does not emit toxic gases, but on the contrary becomes even more effective.
• A drug based on imidacloprid. Liquid remedy against vegetable, flower garden pests. It is important that due to absorption after spraying into the upper parts of the leaves and the impossibility of washing off this solution with rain, it spreads evenly throughout the entire area where plants, vegetables, etc. are planted.
• Aktara. A product that penetrates deeply into the plant, making its juice completely unsuitable for insect pests for twenty days.
• Fitoverm is another drug based on the same active ingredient (as in the previous case) - aversectin. It is a biological derivative of the result of the vital activity of microorganisms that usually inhabit the soil; can kill aphids.

Biologically active preparations kill insect pests using waste products of microscopic bacterial organisms, and therefore are considered relatively harmless.

Second group of biological drugs

• Powder for the Colorado potato beetle Golden Spark. It is very convenient to use, since the dosage is written based on a certain number of acres of planted potatoes. Safe to use.
• Anti-mite, akarin, dedrobacillin, zhukoff are drugs, each of which is designed to destroy a specific type of insect pest. They are used depending on the degree of crop infection.
• Freshly slaked lime. The composition is always prepared immediately before starting work with plants, which is why the substance is called freshly slaked. By following the proportions and instructions printed on the packaging, you can easily prepare fresh slaked lime for treating plants. Usually take from one to two kilograms of lime powder (this should only be done with glasses and gloves) per ten liters of water.
• Karbofos. It has been killing pests for many decades. Time-tested remedy.
• Commander is a concentrate for the destruction of all garden pests. It is used at the rate of one milliliter per hundred square meters of plantings.
• Medvetox. It is used against mole crickets by distributing bait that is poisonous to this insect, which it eats, resulting in its rapid death.
• Lightning. From pests of roses and potatoes. It is not washed off by rain, so it is highly effective in any weather, killing the insect after thirty minutes of action.
• Ant. A completely ready-to-use remedy for garden ants. Effective when the colony of these insects is large.
• Regent is a capsule that is actively effective against Colorado potato beetles in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and similar climatic regions.
• Colloidal sulfur or yellow ground sulfur. A completely natural remedy for processing vegetables, which should be stopped no earlier than three to five days before harvest.

By selecting a product from the second group of biological preparations to combat insects that destroy crops, you can collect wonderful harvest without any danger of harming the health of people or pets.

Traditional chemicals

Preparations for controlling pests in the garden and vegetable garden, which any gardener or summer resident can buy, are fungicides.

These include, for example, the well-known copper sulfate, which when dry looks like blue washing powder.

This product will destroy all pathogenic bacteria and small pests for plants and trees.

In addition, copper sulfate will remove mold and fungi, phytoporosis, fruit rot - all factors and diseases that interfere with the development of garden crops. Application: bushes and trees are sprayed with vitriol solution.

Bordeaux mixture is the second most popular preparation for controlling garden pests. It is some kind of derivative of the previous remedy, since it contains copper sulfate. But there is an ingredient that has not yet been considered - lime milk.

A mixture of it and Bordeaux mixture in the right proportions allows you to get rid of rust, which often covers the surface of the leaves with a thin layer fruit trees, and berry bushes, grapes and rose bushes.

In addition to copper sulfate, iron sulfate, urea, oleocuprite, mustard, colloidal sulfur, and ammonia are also used to kill insects.

Common folk remedies for pest control

Those remedies and advice that offer folk beliefs and the experience of the older generation, may also be as effective as stronger chemical agents.

First of all, it is necessary to proceed from the rule: “insects harmful to gardens and vegetable gardens are attracted to unhealthy plants.”

This means that in order to avoid this unpleasant factor, it is worth strengthening and supporting plants, shrubs, and trees.

Here are some tips:

• Hilling up bushes up to ten centimeters in height helps wintering perennial shrubs avoid butterflies (caterpillars).
• Putting leaves and other parts from fresh food into boxes white cabbage will attract moths and butterflies (cabbage whites).
• Folk remedies are mainly systematic, so they are used several times a season.
• When making solutions from herbs and rhizomes, you need to allocate separate dishes for this purpose, and unused remains should be buried deeper in the ground.
• Unlike other drugs, folk remedies are used to spray plants in the afternoon, when there is no longer bright sun.
• Garlic is used against ticks, gleys and small caterpillars, which is taken in an amount of two hundred grams, crushed using a meat grinder or blender, filled with water (10 liters) and left for 1 day. Afterwards, problem areas in the garden are sprayed.

Folk remedies are varied and are not limited to a few rules. With a detailed study of this subject, you can achieve big harvests in the garden and vegetable garden without the use of chemicals unnatural for plants.

Fighting aphids with folk remedies

Recipes for preparing preparations for treating surfaces against aphids:

• To safely get rid of insects, an infusion of tomato or potato tops is suitable. After passing half a kilogram of selected leaves through a meat grinder and pouring warm water over them to infuse, all you have to do is wait about three hours - and you can add a little ammonium nitrate(about one teaspoon), the same amount of pepper and crushed or diluted bar soap. After mixing, the solution will be ready for use. It is recommended to do the treatment every five days.
• You need to take a few regular onions onions, which are most conveniently chopped in a meat grinder and diluted in water at the rate of 10 liters of water per glass of chopped peeled onion. After adding soda ash, apply by sprinkling on plants and trees.
• Yarrow and wormwood are poured with boiling water or a thick decoction is prepared from them (it needs to be kept on the fire for five to seven minutes, infused for three hours).
• Tobacco can also help in the fight against aphids and more. It will save you from caterpillars gnawing on leaves and from ticks. Tobacco leaves or dry tobacco trimmings should be taken in the amount of two hundred grams and thrown into boiling water (in a large ten-liter pan) along with the same amount of onion peels. Keep on low heat for two and a half to three hours.

Before spraying, you need to dilute the resulting brew with ten liters of water and mix in a small piece of soap (about 30 g). Most means of combating aphids involve brewing decoctions and spraying these substances, which are unpleasant for the insect, into its habitat.

Folk remedies – 2

What to do if you don't have enough ingredients or need new recipes? Here are some more tips that will come to the aid of a conscientious gardener:

• If there are no onions, but there are aphids, tobacco (can be replaced with shag or tobacco dust) is poured with water and infused; if necessary, dilute. If there is soap, add it there too.
• A real complex remedy for aphids is a set of identical parts of herbs and auxiliary components such as horse sorrel, dandelion, marigolds, tobacco, yarrow, potato and tomato tops. An important point is a uniform spraying of a diluted decoction where the insect or its offspring usually accumulates. This is the underside of the leaves, the upper leaves on the branches.
• If fruits that have begun to ripen are attacked by a codling moth, this problem can be helped by collecting 150-200 grams of tobacco residues (tobacco dust) and pouring that’s all hot water. Spray with a diluted solution.
• Celandine is useful against aphid attacks. Three bushes cut into small pieces are filled with a whole bucket of ordinary water (cold). After standing for three hours, the product will be ready.
• To cause disorientation in Colorado beetles, you need to spray a decoction of wormwood infused for one day with the addition of walnut leaves, elecampane rhizomes, poplar leaves, tansy, and horsetail.
• Saving onion green shoots consists of watering young sprouts that have not yet reached five centimeters with salt.

Preparations for controlling garden and vegetable pests (photo), including folk remedies, are a whole complex of various measures of a chemical or biological nature that are designed to protect crops and trees from insects that harm crops.

Anti-aphid preparations are means of protecting against pests., which are used when they appear en masse on plants.

They must be used only in a special suit and mask, to prevent substance vapors from entering the body.

Otherwise, aphid control drugs may cause poisoning, skin rashes and other negative consequences.

When using chemicals to control aphids, you need to carefully read the instructions for their use, because with an increase in the permissible dose, they can provoke the death of beneficial insects.

Processed vegetables and trees chemicals , begin to act almost immediately, causing the inevitable death of the aphids. In order not to cause pests to become addicted to one type of drug and to increase its effectiveness, it is necessary to alternate it with other means with similar protective effects.

Plants are allowed to be treated with them only before flowering or after flowering (before the fruit appears). Harmful substances are removed from environment after 3-5 weeks. Until this time, eating fruits from sprayed plants is strictly prohibited.

Wide The following aphid control agents are used in the fight against aphids:, like Iskra, Intavir, Tanrek against aphids and whiteflies, Aktara against aphids, Karbofos, Komandor, Aktofit against aphids and many others.

Biological drugs

This type of drug acts much more slowly than chemical agents. Aphids eating such a sprayed plant, dies only after 10-12 days. At the same time, biological products cannot cause any harm to bees and fish.

These aphid repellents are much safer than chemicals. They can be used during the period when mature plants already have fruits. They can be used for food after 5 days.

Effective means

In addition to chemical and biological drugs, quite effective and harmless to human body and plants are with aphids, invented by the people.

It can be prepared in a special way solutions using chamomile, dandelion, celandine, tobacco, citrus peels, tomato tops and many other plants.

Also we should not forget about birds, hedgehogs, lizards, ladybugs and other insects that help in the fight against aphids. That is why, if this pest is present on your plot of land, do not drive away warm-blooded helpers from the garden, who not only will not harm you, but also will clean all your seedlings and seedlings.

The best means

The most effective in the fight against aphids are, of course, considered chemicals. However, in those cases when people don't want to use chemicals against aphids, you can plant your garden correctly and some types of plants themselves will repel aphids, thereby using control.

Here we are talking about onion, garlic, chamomile, calendula, lavender and thyme. The aromas emitted by these plants repel insects and do not allow it to reproduce on cultivated plants.

Insecticides

Insecticides against aphids are preparations that have chemical composition. They are excellent at fighting aphids, their eggs and larvae.

Depending on the effect of such drugs on the insect body, they are divided into several groups:

• contact– act on the entire body of the pest;
• intestinal– getting into the intestines of an insect, they cause poisoning;
• systemic– cause the inevitable death of aphids when they enter the body;
• fumigants– enter through the respiratory tract and cause poisoning of pests.

Garden plantings are attacked from all sides - if you do not have time to exterminate insects and disease-causing pathogens, the harvest may be completely lost. Ruddy apples and juicy cherries are guarded by drugs designed specifically for protection against garden pests and plant diseases. Detailed instructions and every gardener should know the processing calendar. Study the recommendations and put them into practice within the specified time frame.

To grow a rich harvest of fruit crops, an indispensable condition remains a system of protecting the garden from pests and diseases using agrochemical and agrotechnical methods. And this should be a system, and not random processing from time to time. To do this, you should draw up an annual work plan for garden plantings and strictly follow it.

All plants have certain stages of development. Insects also go through cycles of transformation. At certain periods of life, both are especially vulnerable. Taking this fact into account, a work plan is drawn up in order to maximize the impact on those phases of insects in which they are more sensitive to spraying with drugs.

Garden protection using agrochemical methods

Various methods are used to process fruit plants:

• agrotechnical;
• agrochemical;
• biological;
• mechanical.

Stages of insect development

To preserve the health of humans and birds, preference is given to biological methods. But there are situations when chemical treatment is necessary and even mandatory for comprehensive garden protection from pests and diseases to work flawlessly.

It is preferable not to neglect the garden and not allow pathogens and insects to take up residence in your trees. For these purposes, preventive measures are carried out for tree and shrub crops against pests and diseases by any possible means. If a set of preventive measures is carried out on time, then subsequent treatments are reduced to a minimum - regular preventive work.

To protect the garden from pests, they begin spraying trees and shrubs in the fall immediately after harvesting the fruits. At this time, it is important to massively exterminate egg-laying insects, the nests in which they hibernate, get rid of intermediate hosts - weeds, and growths of lichens and mosses - breeding grounds for fungal diseases.

Beautiful healthy garden

Treating the garden in the spring against pests and diseases is of utmost importance; it begins long before the buds swell. This includes a whole range of work leading to the destruction of overwintered individuals, the prevention of diseases and the impossibility of relocating pests from other places to your plantings.

Pest and disease control

The fight against hordes of insects and diseases begins with planting healthy seedlings purchased from a nursery, where all planting material is properly processed. Planting zoned varieties that are bred specifically for the corresponding region can reduce damage by insects and pathogens.

Next in importance are preventive measures. They are followed by regular spraying with pesticides, biological products and mixtures of various substances to disinfect garden plantings.

Drugs and their use

Preparations for garden treatment

Begin processing garden plot in the fall, after harvesting fruits and ending leaf fall. The most common drugs remain urea, Bordeaux mixture, iron and copper sulfate.

1. Another multifunctional preparation for treating garden plantings is iron sulfate. It is used for scab and cytosporosis. Timely treatment of the garden against pests and diseases with iron sulfate pursues two goals at once - the destruction of pathogens and the supply of additional iron to the plant.
2. A solution of copper sulfate is used as an active fungicide. Spray the plants thoroughly powdery mildew, spotting, moniliosis, scab and a number of other fungal diseases. Proper garden treatment copper sulfate can triple the yield of fruit crops.

Preparations of copper and iron sulfate are irreplaceable

Biological products for the garden plot

Many gardeners spray their nurseries with a huge amount of pesticides, often forgetting about a sense of proportion and own health. Among the wide variety of pesticides on store shelves, there are those that are not dangerous to human health. These are biological products for the garden, which are divided into two groups:

• agents that kill pathogens or insects;
• drugs that act on a plant in such a way that it increases immunity and ability to resist disease or insects.

Biological products for plants

Weakened plants suffer most from diseases and insect attacks. On trade shelves there is a wide variety of biological products for horticultural crops. Some of them are discussed below.

"Healthy Garden" Plants become less susceptible to scab and powdery mildew pathogens. The product protects against damage by codling moths, sawflies, and aphids. Increases drought resistance of plants. Reduces nitrate content in fruits. It is produced in the form of granules containing, in addition to the active substance, potassium, magnesium, and sodium. To prepare the solution, two granules are dissolved per liter of water. The trees are sprayed three times a season.

"Mikosan." Actively improves plant immunity. The drug, obtained from an extract of the tinder fungus, contains substances that, moving through the vessels of the plant, affect the cell walls of most pathogenic fungi. In this case, the cell walls become permeable and die.

However, the drug does not have any effect on the beneficial microflora and increases resistance, which contributes to the rapid growth of green parts. The product is available in the form of a preparation for treatment planting material(“Mikosan-N”) and for spraying mature plantings (“Mikosan V”). Instructions are included in the package.

"Ecoberine"

"Ecoberine." It is used when spraying trees to increase immunity, drought resistance, and increase resistance to diseases and pests. The substance cleanses crops of poisons, heavy metal salts, and rejuvenates plants. Improves the taste of fruits.

Fungicides and their effectiveness

In modern protection systems garden plants against pests and diseases, they certainly include fungicides, without which full chemical protection is impossible.

The incredible increase in the incidence of scab, coccomycosis, fusarium, sulfur and other types of rot, all kinds of leaf spots, fruit moniliosis, leads to significant crop losses.

Developed against fungi various drugs. Fungicides are divided into systemic and contact. Systemic ones penetrate the internal tissues of the plant and act from the inside. Contact remains on the surface of leaves, branches and trunk. They act on pathogens only through direct contact.

Treating the garden with fungicides

Contact fungicides - polycarbacin, zineb, copper oxychloride, mancozeb cannot cure a diseased plant, but they perfectly protect healthy specimens from pathogens. To do this, just spray the garden thoroughly. Moreover, the foliage is treated from below and from above, since many fungi begin to germinate precisely from the bottom of the leaf.

The disadvantage of such reagents is that the first heavy rain washes away the active substance and the treatment has to be repeated.

Systemic fungicides for plants from the outside and inside. They treat, but at the earliest stages of infection. After spraying the garden, after a few hours the rain will not be able to wash away the reagent, since it has penetrated inside the plant.

After this, the drug works for up to three weeks. The main disadvantage is that pathogenic fungi quickly become accustomed to the substance. To reduce this factor, gardens are treated with the same reagent no more than twice a day. growing season. They can be alternated with contact drugs or with systemic drugs, but having a different chemical formula.

Copper oxychloride

Such alternating spraying is considered the most effective way to combat diseases of fruit plants.

A whole list of fungicides is recommended for these purposes: “Vectra”, “Granite”, “Derozal”, “Rubigan”, “Folpan”, “Horus”, “Strobi”. There are multi-component products that act immediately contact and systemically: “Acrobat MC”, “Pylon”, “Oxychom”, “Artserid” and others. Systemic, but belonging to different groups: “Falcon”, “Archer”, “Mikal”.

New generation drugs

Scientific developments are constantly underway to produce new generations of pesticides. But modern requirements so complex and high that the pace of industry development has slowed down. However, new drugs for controlling garden pests are available for sale on the shelves of relevant stores.

Cherry moniliosis

Here are a few of them:

• “Zineb” is a complete substitute for Bordeaux mixture in the fight against apple and pear scab. Used on pome and stone fruits at the same time as Bordeaux mixture. Very poisonous to humans.
• "Selinon" - designed to fight against copperheads, scale insects, aphids, anthracnose, scab, and American powdery mildew. When working, serious safety measures are observed, as it is poisonous to warm-blooded animals.
• “Pthalan 50%” – effective against scab, powdery mildew and other diseases fungal origin. The product can be used with most other pesticides, except alkaline ones. Not dangerous for warm-blooded animals.
• "Ethersulfonate" is a drug for the destruction of herbivorous mites. Kills eggs and young larvae, but has little effect on adults. Insoluble in water, but when stirred it forms a stable suspension that remains on the foliage for a long time. Because of this, it has time to act on different phases of tick development from eggs to larvae. May cause burns to vegetative parts of plants if atmospheric humidity is high. Therefore, it is better to use it on already coarsened leaves.

Coccomycosis of stone fruits

Do-it-yourself mixtures for treating your dacha

To save time on processing garden plantings, many summer residents prepare so-called “tank” mixtures, that is, prepared in one tank.

For example, a mixture of Aktara, Topaz and Zircon works well on garden trees and shrubs. At the same time, insects and various diseases are destroyed.

A mixture of “Copper Oxide” and “Fufanon” is used to treat trees against diseases until the buds open, which reliably prevents infection by fungal pathogens and gets rid of many pests.

To protect against sunburn or late frosts, as well as to prevent the appearance of aphids and fungi, prepare a tank mixture of the “Healthy Garden” and “Ecoberin” preparations, taking 40 granules of each. This effect also leads to increased growth of vegetative parts of plants.

Any tank mixture is consumed only on the day of production. Processing is carried out at low atmospheric humidity, without wind.

You can combine in a tank mixture:

• growth stimulants, fertilizers, pesticides;
• growth stimulants, live biological products, fertilizers.

Attention! If flakes fall out during the preparation of the tank mixture or the solution separates, then this mixture should not be used. It is most likely dangerous to humans and plants.

Tank mixture

Until now, a lime-sulfur solution is prepared and used successfully to control garden pests. It’s not easy to prepare, but the effect will not be long in coming.

1. For 17 liters of water, measure two liters of ground sulfur and one liter of quicklime.
2. Lime is slaked in a small volume of water without vigorous boiling. As soon as the lime has warmed up, add sulfur to it, stir and pour in the rest of the water.
3. The resulting mixture is boiled for 50 minutes until it turns red-brown, covered.
4. While boiling, gradually add water to the original volume.
5. Stop adding 15 minutes before the end.
6. The cooled broth is filtered through a canvas and poured into storage glass containers or enamel containers.

Effective for treating garden pests and diseases against most pests.
