summer can be a pain for gardeners on the control of pests and diseases first. Many of suffering early season is still around when they are under, and in both July and August will be used to hang some of their personal resourcefulness of our taxes.
fruit tree is the lofty goal, and the leader of the pack to codling moth (the "g" is optional.) This is a troublesome animal, and often not detected until the fruit is harvested and the destructive effects of larvaeare all too evident. Proof of codling moth in food, fruit and otherwise healthy, trying to find something healthy, but if you have the first bite. The interior offers much to chew, taste and testing activities of the worm '.
This is difficult because the moth lays its eggs in the flowers way back in the spring. When the larva hatches it feeds on the unripe fruits and leaves, usually before the deadline, often through the "eye" of fruit andavoid detection. Mature larvae then migrate down to pupate in cracks and crevices in the bark.
A control, the case of the larvae mature way to their pupation sites. The method consists of strips or corrugated sleeves to fix the foundations of the main branches and / or ends of the stems. The idea is that the larvae of these cardboard pupation descending Hideaways be attractive spot and stay there to find. In early September, when theMigration is really up and down, remove the bands and find the dolls cozy nest and dispose of properly. Can not be saved without fruit this year, but should reduce the population next season.
Another scourge of apples with apples Codling sawfly can be confusing. The WASP-like insect lays its eggs in the flower power of the larvae and the development of the fruit. The differences are that the sawfly larvae are usually their worst rather quickly andthe damaged fruitlets fall before they reach maturity. The larva often leaves a visible scar from his first business in the vicinity of the "eye" end of the fruit and usually results from a hole in the side. The hole is usually characterized by a nasty mess of dark brown frass. Once the fruit has fallen, the larvae pupate in the soil for shelter.
The trick is to catch before he can pull off the maneuver of escape. This means examining fruitlets on the tree and the removal and disposalall light to show the scars. Because the scar is not quite ubiquitous, does not collect fallen fruitlets per day and destroy them as well. Again, not much to harvest this year should help, however, to reduce next year sawfly population. If you have an area of bare soil around the trees, there will be a good idea, it will fork to expose the pupae to birds, litter until the autumn.
Apples are not only rotten fruit under the tree susceptible to pests this time of year.Plums are vulnerable to incursions by aptly named Plum Moth. This has a similar feature to its Apple counterpart, the larvae eat the center of the fruit and leaving an ugly mess frassy behind them.
The infested fruits mature early and can usually be detected on the surface from shallow wells. Examine trees often to remove and destroy fruit and doubt in the future. As codling moth, tends to pupate in these columns cortex, wavy bandscould be useful if the birds do not trust to do the job.
The fruit is rather difficult controversy, customers, and we are barely able to resolve by means of one of them with organic, but we can certainly minimize the damage and ensure we get a decent harvest. There are occasions when we simply accept losses in some organic cause.
August is the month mildew.
And mildew infected leaves of a number of plants this time of year andAppetizers, it would be nice to distinguish them. Powdery mildew usually responds with a white powder coating that appears on top of the leaves. This will be through more "fur" on the lower surface, followed the spread of stems and buds, and distortion of young leaves.
His cousin fluffy usually appears first as yellow spots square, usually between the veins on the upper surface of leaves. And 'more apparent on young leaves, and can be confused with aNumber of chlorosis-causing mineral deficiencies. The next stage was confirmed, but the presence of the fungus. A gray / white fur appears on the underside of the leaves, and if the infection is not active, start looking at the whole system and I'm not sorry for himself.
Between the two of them almost all garden plants from attack apples and roses brassicae and cucurbits. They are unpredictable and may occur animals a bit 'everywhere this time of year, but it seems that someEnvironmental conditions for their spread. In general, seem to thrive best when the soil is dry and moist air. There is not much we can do to the humidity, but we can ensure that the soil surface dries. To combat the mold, the most popular terms, wherever possible, we should take powerful mulch for soil moisture without using excessive water, do not allow the irrigation head, and the central space, like an air circulation decent.
Otheranti-mildew is essential to remove infected leaves as soon as the first signs of fungi found. There you go: vigilance and fast reaction.
