Finding the right fertilizer for your home flowers and garden plants can be challenging. Often, gardeners are faced with the problem of wilting, and the weak resistance of plants to pests and diseases.

Ammonia- a simple and unconventional solution to this problem. Today we will talk about the use of ammonia in the care of flowers, garden crops and use in horticulture. You will learn how to use ammonia and in what proportions.

Ammonia or ammonia very good nitrogenous compound, which has the lightest and most accessible form of nitrogen for plants. Sold in pharmacies in bottles of 40 ml, transparent liquid with a pungent odor, concentration 10% - ordinary medical ammonia (sometimes concentrated 25% ammonia solution).

The use of ammonia, unlike other nitrogen fertilizers, immediately gives a positive effect, which can be seen 4-5 days after watering, the plants will transform and revive, turn green. Plants begin to grow rapidly, pests in the ground die.

Nitrogen is very important element for plants, promotes photosynthesis. With a lack of nitrogen, plants get sick, the production of chlorophyll is disrupted. Leaves lose color, begin to turn yellow. The buds and flowers are crumbling.

Nitrogen is necessary for all, without exception, plants, only in different quantities.

The smell of ammonia is capable of scare away such pests like onion fly, carrot fly, aphid, hidden proboscis, bear, wireworm, ants, midges living on indoor plants.

Home flowers watered, diluting ammonia in the proportion of 1 tbsp. l. for 10 liters of water.

Attention: do not exceed the dose and take a break of 2 weeks between the use of ammonia.

Ammonium use in the garden

Typical signs of a lack of nitrogen in the soil are yellowed and pale leaves, small flowers, lack of fruit.

To eliminate these signs, plants are fed with an ammonia solution. For 10 liters of water add 3 tbsp. l. ammonia, mix, and watered under the root of the plants 1 time per week.

During the period of active growth, plants especially need fertilizing with nitrogenous fertilizers.

If you notice yellowed, pale feathers of onions and garlic in the area, this is the result of a lack of nitrogen in the soil or the activity of pests.

For feeding onions and garlic dilute 2 tbsp. l. ammonia per 10 liters of water and root top dressing. Top dressing must be carried out on damp ground.

For pest control of onions and garlic – onion fly and a hidden proboscis, prepare a solution with ammonia with a proportion of 2 tbsp. l. ammonia per 10 liters of water and water 3 times at intervals of 10 days.

We use ammonia to feed tomatoes after transplanting seedlings to permanent place into the ground. For the formation of green mass and the formation of flowers, tomatoes need nitrogen.

2 tbsp. l. Dilute 10% of ammonia into 10 liters of water, pour the solution under the root of the plant, 1 liter of solution under the bush. This will give an impetus to the plants, they will transform before our eyes. Do not forget to water the plants before feeding. You can repeat feeding after 7 days.

Before the fruits appear, the cucumbers are fed ammonia... To prepare the solution, dilute 3 tbsp. l. ammonia in 10 liters of water, root top dressing. You can repeat this feeding several times every 7-10 days.

When the ovaries begin to form, the cucumbers must be fed once every 4 days, with a solution that is more concentrated: 1 tsp. for 1.5 liters of water.

To protect cabbage from pests such as caterpillars, cruciferous fleas, snails, cabbage flies and slugs, treat the plants with a solution of ammonia.

Dilute 80 ml of ammonia in 10 liters of water and carry out foliar treatment, over the leaves and heads of cabbage, watering the plants abundantly.

By treating cabbage leaves against pests, you will also produce top dressing. Therefore, nitrogen fertilizers must be abandoned during this period.

The use of ammonia in the garden

To receive good harvest and long-term fruiting, raspberries require a lot of nitrogen.

It is necessary to feed raspberries with ammonia before flowering during the growing season and after harvesting.

Raspberries are prone to frequent fungal diseases, so it is necessary to spray the bushes as well.

When the average daily temperature rises above +10 degrees, you can start feeding and processing raspberries against pests and diseases.

Prepare a feeding solution: 3 tbsp. l. 10% ammonia per 10 liters of water. Water at the root of 5 liters for each bush. Then mulch the soil in any way: grass, straw, etc. Repeat feeding 7-10 days before flowering.

Spraying raspberry bushes carry out at the very beginning of the growing season, before flowering and in autumn after the end of fruiting.

Prepare a solution: 2 tbsp. l. ammonia per 10 liters of water and add 2 tbsp. l. liquid soap for adhesion of the solution (preferably tar).

Protect strawberries from pests and diseases, and ammonia will help to feed. Before adding ammonia solution, the soil must be loosened and the area with strawberries must be watered.

Attention: watering strawberries with ammonia is carried out before flowering in spring and after fruiting in autumn.

Prepare the solution: 40 ml of 10% ammonia per 10 liters of water. Stir and pour 0.5 liters of solution under each bush, it's okay if it gets on the leaves. So you will destroy such strawberry pests as beetle larvae, weevil, all kinds of fungi.

Water every 7-10 days.

Roses, peonies, clematis, dahlias, violets, nasturtium and zinnias react in a violent color to feeding with ammonia.

In conclusion, I want to say that ammonia is a very useful and universal fertilizer that suits everyone garden crops... It performs several functions at once: protection from pests and feeding plants.

Remember the main rule when using ammonia, do not exceed the concentration during the preparation of the solution, this will have a detrimental effect on the plants.

Fertilize in 7-10 days, not earlier. For diseased plants, it is better to use low concentrations of solutions, increasing them over time. Use ammonia wisely!

Good luck in your fight for a high yield, healthy and strong plants!

An excellent harvest of raspberries is obtained only if 3 conditions are met:

1. Raspberries grow in a sunny location.
2. Receives good food and the soil is covered with mulch.
3. The bushes are protected from pests and diseases.

There will not be many berries in the shade under the trees. A huge green mass will grow, but not berries.

Plant organic matter and some ash can be buried in a hole under the roots.

In the spring, raspberries are fed with nitrogen... Can be used mineral fertilizers(urea, azofoska), mullein infusion or ammonia. By the way, strawberries are also poured with ammonia.

Feeding raspberries with ammonia

Feeding raspberries with ammonia carried out at average daily temperature+ 10 degrees. The soil should already warm up well, otherwise the roots will simply not absorb the fertilizer.

Dosage:

2-3 tablespoons of ammonia per 10 liters of water.

Watering raspberries with a solution of ammonia is necessary at the root, the consumption per plant is 5 liters. Water directly over the mulch. Tandem mulch + watering with ammonia makes the soil loose, fertile, constantly moist. Mulch attracts a huge number of worms, which gradually transform green organic matter into vermicompost.

Ammonia, ash and mulch will increase the yield of raspberries

Raspberry loves organic... An excellent harvest is obtained after watering with green fertilizers (infusion of nettle or other weeds) before flowering.

Raspberries need a lot of potassium... A glass is poured under each bush in the spring wood ash and slightly buried in the ground.

Mulch is a complementary food, weed control, an excellent way to retain moisture and prevent fungal diseases. Grass, weeds, straw and other plant residues are used as mulch. Never leave the soil bare under the raspberries.

Spraying raspberries with ammonia from diseases and pests

In early spring, traditionally, raspberries are sprayed for diseases with Bordeaux mixture, Topaz or Fitosporin. These drugs are quite effective.

But there is an even easier and cheaper way - ammonia. It is both a foliar feeding of raspberries and protection against diseases.

Spray raspberries with ammonia we recommend three times per season: at the beginning of the growing season, before flowering and after harvest.

Dosage:

2 tablespoons of ammonia per 10 liters + 2 tablespoons of liquid tar soap.

Tar liquid soap used for better adhesion and prolongation of the action of the solution. Ammonium and tar are excellent antiseptics, they enhance each other's effect, and ammonia additionally nourishes the leaves with nitrogen.

Important: each branch of raspberries should be well lit by the sun and ventilated. Then the bush is less susceptible to fungal diseases. And picking berries in the thickets is not at all convenient.

Thickened raspberries do not bear fruit well. Therefore, leave a maximum of 3-4 shoots on each bush. Be sure to dig up all excess growth.

I wish you generous harvests of raspberries and support us by reposting on social networks!

Despite the great number of remontant and classic varieties of raspberries, unpretentious, frost-resistant and undemanding to regular watering, most of them are susceptible to infection with viral and fungal diseases. Pests also cause serious damage to berry plantations. In order for the crop on the raspberry to be regular, it is worth choosing more closely planting material and to feed plants to maintain immunity, to be able to provide "first aid" to damaged shoots and berries. They begin to prepare raspberries for spring in September. Ability to use available tools, such as laundry soap and boiling water, will help to get a full harvest and healthy seedlings.

Do I need to process raspberries

In the climatic conditions of the south and middle zone of our country, classical and remontant varieties raspberries. But despite the approval of modern breeders, remontant hybrids require regular treatments and are damaged by pests and diseases no less than classic raspberry varieties. Temperature changes during the growing season and during the dormant period, unfavorable environmental conditions, lack of nutrients can lower the plant's immunity and make it vulnerable.

In the event that an infected planting material appears on the personal plot, the entire fruit and berry plantation may suffer. Therefore, it is recommended to process them immediately after purchasing the seedlings. During the summer, the state of the plantings is monitored, if necessary, spraying is carried out and damaged shoots are removed. During fruiting, the shrub also requires attention, because not only live on the site beneficial insects but also pests who love to feast on fragrant berries. For example, the larvae of the raspberry beetle are capable of destroying almost the entire crop, the leaf gall midge and weevil can damage young shoots. And anthracnose and bushy dwarfism harm the entire berry, while the gardener is unaware of this, because not all viral and fungal diseases are immediately noticeable. To enjoy berries, you cannot do without preventive treatments for raspberries.

A rich harvest of raspberries cannot be obtained without proper plant care.

Raspberry pests

The most dangerous pests raspberries, common throughout our country - in industrial lands and household plots, - stem gall midge, raspberry beetle and raspberry-strawberry weevil:

• Raspberry stem gall midge causes irreparable damage to the berry plantation - it lays its larvae in young shoots, thereby causing the leaves to wilt; the bark darkens and becomes covered with rough growths. In order to reduce significant harm from this insect, the raspberries are treated twice a season - in May, when the period of laying eggs of the first generation of the pest begins, and after harvesting (the first decade of September). It is important to handle lower part raspberry leaves - this is where the female gall midges lay their eggs.
• Another ill-wisher on raspberries is a raspberry beetle, the female of which lays eggs in flower stalks. The larvae (worms) severely damage the fruit, they wither, rot and do not ripen completely. The offspring of the raspberry beetle can damage up to 50% of the crop. Adults eat buds and destroy flowers. Worms are activated in wet weather. In the fight against the pest, the most effective method- digging up the soil on the raspberry tree in which the beetle hibernates.
• Adult individuals of the raspberry-strawberry weevil harm the juicy young shoots, and the larva prevents the formation of buds, thereby reducing the yield on the raspberry tree. The female lays the larvae in unblown buds, thereby providing comfortable conditions development of young insects. Raspberry flowers, ready to open, break and dry up. The colossal damage from the weevil is received not only by the raspberry plantation, but also by most of the fruit and berry bushes on the site.

Raspberry disease

Wherever raspberries are cultivated - in the southern latitudes of our country or in the northern - there is a possibility of infection with fungal and viral diseases berry crops affecting root system, shoots, leaves and berries.

Viral infections of berry trees develop as a result of the ingress of pollen from diseased plants or when using tools for pruning shoots infected with the sap of diseased plants. Complete elimination of this problem is unlikely, therefore, most often the diseased bushes are dug up and burned, green manures are sown in the place of the old raspberry-tree, and a year later healthy material is again planted from the nursery. Preventive measure fight against viruses on raspberry plantings - timely destruction of aphids, raspberry beetle, cicadas.

Dwarf bushiness (left), curliness (center) and chlorosis (right) are the main enemies of raspberries.

Fungal diseases are spread by insects that carry spores. Infected shoots must be cut out and promptly removed from the site, fallen leaves and berries must be burned, raspberries must be planted in ventilated, sunny places.

Fungal anthracnose (left) is treated with copper-containing drugs, and wilt (right) is much more difficult to get rid of.

Raspberry diseases are aggravated by excessive thickening of the plantings and excessive moisture. Compliance with agricultural technology of berry crops reduces the risk of infection with viral and fungal diseases.

When to process raspberries

Seasonal raspberry treatments folk remedies no less effective than the new generation of biological products - subject to timely use.

Spring processing

In early spring, before bud break, the shoots and root space of the shrub are abundantly sprayed with ready-made solutions (Aktellik, Karbofos, Hom, urea, ammonia). Protective measures are effective against glass, aphids, raspberry beetle, weevil, anthracnose, curl. The procedure is carried out after the snow melts at a daytime temperature of + 5 ... + 10 ° С. V middle lane- this is the end of March, in the south it happens until the 10th-15th of March. In Siberia and the Urals, the first spraying is not performed before the start April. They choose a sunny, windless day and start processing in the morning hours or at sunset.

Previously, overwintered mulch and plant elements are removed, the bushes are examined and sanitary pruning is carried out. After that, they begin to process raspberries with urea, copper sulfate or Topaz.

Dead raspberry shoots are cut (left) and treated with preventive solutions (right)

Processing raspberries in the spring at the stage of bud formation

At this time, it is recommended to repeat the spraying with copper-containing preparations and solutions, which were treated until the buds bloom. In this phase, spraying with biochemical preparations (Fitoverm, Baktofit, Alirin-B), decoctions of herbs (wormwood, tansy, dill, marigolds) is still allowed. The moment of activation of the gall midge and the weevil is just approaching, the damage from which affects the future harvest. The base at the central shoot is watered with a suspension of tobacco dust and wood ash against chlorosis, glass and other larvae living in the soil.

If you skip the processing of the raspberry tree at the time of budding, you can lose most of the crop.

Autumn chores

After the last harvest of berries (this applies to remontant varieties), raspberry thickets are allowed to be treated with aggressive chemicals such as Fufanon, Actellik, Inta-Vir. This will help deal with ticks, raspberry beetle, hookworm, chlorosis, etc. The procedure is carried out in September-October. With the onset of cold weather, the soil in the aisles is dug up with the addition of wood ash (100 g per m2) and watered with copper or iron sulfate (according to the instructions).

Ash and copper sulfate- a means of combating soil pests

When digging in autumn, I use the "grandmother's method": I add crushed shells and husks to the soil onions- calcium and phytoncides will not interfere with the development of berry bushes, on the contrary, they will enhance the plant's immunity.

Natural fertilizer for the garden - eggshell and onion skins

I repeat this procedure in the spring, if possible at the beginning of the growing season - I accompany the digging with watering with the addition of boric acid(3 g per bucket of water). After 7-10 days, I feed the raspberries with liquid mullein and urea diluted according to the instructions. It seems to me that regardless of the weather, the shoots are actively growing, the leaves bloom faster and the bud formation phase begins.

Calendar for processing raspberries from diseases and pests

Raspberry processing begins when the buds are ready to open. The last spraying is carried out after autumn pruning on the eve of the first frost.

Table: calendar of preventive treatments for raspberries

Processing time	Work on the raspberry tree
Before bud break (March, April)	spraying and root treatment from larvae and overwintered insects (copper-containing preparations and chemical - Hom, Fufanon, urea, and biochemical - Fitoverm)
During flowering (late May - early June)	treatment for weevils, gall midges, ticks, fungal diseases (urea, Bordeaux liquid, ammonia, mustard, herbal decoctions, boric acid solution)
After flowering (June)	prevention of pests and rot of shoots and fruits (urea, Fitoverm, Baktofit, herbal decoction, garlic and tobacco infusion, onion husk decoction, wood ash brewed with boiling water)
Fruiting (July - August)	spraying with infusion of tansy, tobacco, mustard and wormwood from weevils and raspberry beetle larvae
After falling leaves (September October)	treatment against putrefactive and fungal diseases, control of larvae and pests hibernating in trunk circle and plant bark (Fufanon, Fundazol, Actellic, ash, iron or copper sulfate)

How to properly handle raspberries

Applying folk remedies or biochemistry to carry out preventive spraying of shoots and soil, follow the rules:

• processing is carried out in calm, sunny weather (cool and dry);
• recommended:
  • use a respirator and gloves;
  • follow directions and recipe.

Processing raspberries with copper sulfate

Copper sulfate CuSO4 (copper sulfate) is used to combat fungal and viral diseases of raspberries: curl, anthracnose, septoria, spotting. For raspberries, it is most often recommended to use a 0.5-1.0 percent solution to treat the shoots and the soil around them. To do this, dilute 50 g or 100 g of the substance per 10 liters of water at room temperature. One bush takes 0.5–1 liters of such a solution for spraying, or 1–1.5 liters for watering at the root.

1.5-2 l is enough liquid solution copper sulfate for processing raspberry bush

This drug is a prophylactic agent, not a panacea for raspberry diseases. In addition, copper sulfate is poisonous, therefore, during the growing season, it is not treated with it - it accumulates in the berries and the crop after spraying becomes not edible.

Processing raspberries with iron vitriol

Iron vitriol is iron sulfate, the powder of which is used to combat pests on raspberries (slugs, larvae), from fungal spores, mosses, lichens. In addition, this drug is a catalyst in the formation of chlorophyll. In the raspberry tree, it is the first enemy for chlorosis and anthracnose.

In the spring, after pruning dry and damaged branches, the plant is dug in and fertilized with cow dung or chicken dung with the addition of powder ferrous sulfate- 100 g of substance per 10 kg of fertilizer.

To get rid of fungal diseases, dissolve 250 g of ferrous sulfate in 10 liters of water at room temperature and spray the plants (200-400 g per bush).

Autumn processing is carried out after the leaves fall. So that lichens and moss do not annoy the berry beds, the lower part of the shoots (15–20 cm) is covered with a solution of ferrous sulfate - 100–150 g per 10-liter bucket of water. This amount is enough for a whole raspberry plantation.

Proven prophylactic against fungi and lichens on raspberries - iron vitriol

Processing raspberries in spring with boiling water

When sap flow has not yet begun, at the end of winter or in early spring, raspberry bushes are watered with boiling water - the cheapest, but time-consuming way to get rid of pest larvae wintering in soil on the raspberry tree. The easiest way to carry out the processing in this way remontant raspberry, it is cut flush with the ground for the winter, so less hot water and effort is required for irrigation.

10 liters of boiling water is carefully poured using a garden watering can with a nozzle. At the same time, they try to hot water got on upper part shoots and root space, on the soil around the bush.

Boiling water will require effort - a watering can filled with water should be raised high above the bush to capture the entire aerial part of the shoots

Sprinkling raspberries in spring with urea

Urea (carbamide - carbonic acid diamide) helps against diseases (spotting, rust, anthracnose) and pests that are still at the wintering stage (larvae of a raspberry beetle, glass butterflies), therefore, processing is carried out early in the spring before the beginning of the growing season of the plant. To do this, take a concentrated solution - 400-500 g of substance per 10 liters of water and spray it. With this amount, you can process 10 acres of raspberries.

In addition, urea saturates raspberries with nitrogen, strengthens their immunity, preparing the plant for active growth and fruiting. For dressing use a concentration of 50 g per 10 l of water. Raspberry bushes are watered at the root. Liquid concentrate can be added to the urea solution cow dung or tincture of tobacco dust.

I try to carry out the treatment with urea twice in spring... The first time - before bud break - I process it against pests, watering the root space or sprinkling it with a broom - the solution gets on both the shoots and the soil. To do this, I dilute 500 g of the substance in a 20-liter plastic barrel(2-3 liters per raspberry bush is quite enough). The second time I repeat the procedure in 10-14 days. Now it's abundant watering complex feeding homemade: in a 10-liter bucket of water at room temperature I add 5 g of boric acid, 3 liters of mullein infusion and 50-100 g of wood ash. I mix everything thoroughly and water it at the root (1 bucket per 1 m 2).

Processing raspberries with Bordeaux liquid

Universal remedy for comprehensive protection berry crops from diseases - Bordeaux liquid. The preparation contains copper sulfate and not slaked lime at a concentration of 1: 1, it is a blue liquid. The remedy is effective for anthracnose, powdery mildew, different types spots on raspberries. At the same time, the drug is toxic, therefore, it is allowed to treat plants with copper-containing agents in early spring or late autumn.

The ready-made preparation of Bordeaux liquid is used to process most fruit and berry crops in the garden.

Before bud break, the affected bushes can be treated with a 3% solution of Bordeaux liquid (300 g of the finished solution per 10 liters of water) with the addition of a 2% solution of potassium salt.

To prevent the spread of infectious ailments, it is best to carry out treatment bordeaux liquid v autumn period- end of September - beginning of October. Ready solution filter and carry out processing in dry, calm weather.

You can prepare the Bordeaux liquid yourself. For this, slaked lime (fluff) and copper sulfate are bought separately. For preparation, take 100 grams of vitriol and 75 grams of lime, dissolve each substance in 10 liters of water separately. Then the liquids are combined, receiving a 1% solution of Bordeaux liquid.

The solution of our own preparation is thoroughly filtered, otherwise the lime suspension will quickly clog the sprayer.

Processing raspberries with mustard and soda for worms

To prevent the appearance of worms in berries, it is useful to treat raspberries with a solution of dry mustard: add 20 g of powder to a 10-liter bucket of water, filter and abundantly spray the bushes from a spray bottle. Another way to get rid of larvae on raspberries that damage berries is soda. Prepare a solution of 50 g soda ash and 50 g of laundry soap per 10 l warm water. Spraying is toxic, therefore, if necessary, it can be repeated at intervals of 2-3 days.

Since the larvae of the raspberry beetle hibernate in the soil, it is recommended to carefully dig up the ground around the raspberry shoots with the addition of wood ash.

Cardinal measures - before the appearance of buds, spray with Guapsin and Trichophyte preparations - 5 ml per 10 liters of water. According to experts, these substances contain beneficial bacteria and are absolutely safe for humans.

Dry mustard (left) and guapsin (right) are used to get rid of worms in raspberries.

Processing raspberries with ammonia

The composition of ammonia contains ammonia, which, after processing by soil microbes, turns into nitrates, which are necessary for the development of green mass. It is a concentrated fertilizer used in spring. Also, the drug is used to treat raspberry shoots and foliage against pests and diseases.

Method of solution preparation: 30-40 ml of pharmaceutical ammonia 10% is diluted in 10 liters of water at room temperature and the plants are watered from a watering can with a sprinkler. The finished product is used at the rate of 2-3 liters per one bush. Processing is carried out in early spring.

Video: how to process raspberries with ammonia

Processing raspberries with tar

To protect against the raspberry-strawberry weevil, the bushes are treated with a solution of birch tar. For this, a liquid suspension is prepared: 60–100 g of tar are taken for 10 liters of water, and raspberries are poured with the finished liquid in early spring. Approximately 5–7 liters is spent on processing one plant. This is absolutely safe method fight against pests overwintering in the soil.

Folk remedies for processing raspberries

Treat with tinctures and solutions prepared according to folk recipes, follows in spring, summer (before flowering) and autumn. During the formation of the ovary, treatment with herbal infusions is possible; during fruiting, they should be discarded. Infusions and decoctions have a specific smell and can be bitter, which can affect the taste of berries.

Several ways to process raspberries using folk remedies:

1. One liter of whey or yoghurt with the addition of 10-15 drops of a pharmacy iodine solution is stirred and filtered; the composition is used for spraying against late blight and rust.
2. Jars of sand soaked in chloramine or kerosene are placed against the glass.
3. For fungal diseases, a solution is prepared from 1 liter of water, 500 g of milk and 100 g of salt and is used as a spray from a spray bottle.

Milk whey, iodine and salt are the main elements for preparing solutions for processing raspberries according to folk recipes

Many gardeners use pine needles as a remedy for gray rot. Pine or spruce branches, coniferous litter are laid out between the rows of raspberries or the plantings are sprayed with broth of needles. For this, 0.5 kg of plant substrate is poured with 3 liters of water, boiled for 10-15 minutes and left for 2-3 hours. During this time, the liquid will cool down to about 40 ° C - the broth is ready for processing. It is sprayed over the tops of the raspberry shoots using a wide paint brush or a homemade broom made from dry grass. It is not recommended to spray the broth with a sprayer, since the resin contained in the needles settles on individual parts of the sprayer and disables it.

Broth of needles is effective against gray rot on berry bushes and is absolutely harmless

The best option is to mulch the root space of the beds with raspberries with coniferous litter. And also for these purposes, onion peels are often used. Onions contain phytoncides that repel pests.

Garlic infusion is used for spraying against pests and fungal diseases. The solution is also used in the fall to water the soil from the larvae of the raspberry beetle. To prepare an infusion of garlic, cut off the shoots of the plant (half a bucket of herbs for 5 liters of liquid) or chop the cloves of garlic (10-15 pieces for 0.5 liters of water). The green mass or crushed garlic is poured with boiling water and left for a day to settle. The liquid acquires a pungent specific odor, which repels pests.

Garlic is a sure remedy for diseases and pests of raspberries

Grind 200 g of cloves of garlic in a mortar to the state of gruel, then place in a 1 liter jar and pour to the top warm water... A jar with a closed lid is left in a dark place for 5 days (at a temperature of +20 +25 ° C), periodically shaking the contents. Then the infusion is filtered, poured into a dark glass bottle, corked and placed in the refrigerator. In case of aphid infestations on raspberries, 100 ml of infusion is poured into 5 liters of water and the affected area is abundantly moistened with a solution using a paint brush.

A decoction of tansy, yarrow, wormwood and dandelion is used to combat ticks, fleas and aphids on raspberries. Spicy herbs are bitter and have a pungent smell, which repels pests. The broth is recommended for use at the stage of fruit setting.

• Dry branches of wormwood (0.5 kg) pour 3 liters of boiling water and leave for 12 hours. The spraying process is carried out after the infusion has been filtered. According to the same recipe, an infusion of tansy herb is prepared.
• Dandelion is used in the form of a decoction and infusion of fresh green mass: leaves, flowers, stems.
  • The first method: about 3 liters are poured so that the water covers the chopped ingredients. They put on a quiet fire and boil for half an hour. The solution is allowed to cool, then the berry bushes are filtered and sprayed. Five liters of broth is enough to process 10-15 raspberry bushes.
  • The second method: 1 - 1.5 kg of fresh chopped dandelion herb is insisted in a bucket of water for two days. The infusion is drained and irrigated with raspberry shoots from a watering can with a sprinkler.

Broths of wormwood (left), tansy (center) and dandelion (right) are prepared for preventive treatment raspberries from diseases and pests

Raspberry bushes are treated with herbal infusions immediately after flowering 3-4 times with an interval of 5-7 days.

For good fruiting, raspberries need a lot of nitrogen and potassium. Therefore, raspberries are fed at the beginning of the growing season, before flowering and always after harvest. And raspberries are often affected by fungal diseases. You cannot do without preventive spraying.

Nitrogen fertilizers, as well as expensive drugs for pests and diseases, can be replaced with ammonia from a pharmacy.

Watering and three-time processing of raspberries with ammonia in spring is the prevention of diseases and protection from pests, as well as nitrogen fertilization.

Dosage of ammonia for raspberries

In the spring, not only plants wake up, but also numerous insect pests, fungal spores actively multiply.

You can water raspberries with ammonia at an average daily temperature of + 10 degrees. The soil should already warm up well, otherwise the roots will simply not absorb the fertilizer.

Dosage: 2-3 tablespoons of ammonia per 10 liters of water.

Consumption per plant - 5 liters. After that, it is advisable to mulch the raspberries with straw, grass. Raspberries bear fruit well only with sufficient moisture and nutrition.

Mulch makes the soil loose, fertile, constantly moist. It also attracts a huge number of worms, which gradually turn green organic matter into vermicompost.


After watering with an ammonia solution, potassium is immediately introduced... It is also needed by raspberries for setting berries. A glass of wood ash is poured under each bush and slightly embedded in the ground.

Before flowering raspberries are fed with organic matter. An excellent harvest is obtained after irrigation with green fertilizers (infusion of nettle or other weeds). And don't forget to constantly renew the mulch layer under the raspberry bushes.

In early spring, traditionally, raspberries are sprayed for diseases with Bordeaux mixture, Topaz or Fitosporin. These drugs are quite effective.

But there is an even easier and cheaper way - ammonia. It is both a foliar feeding of raspberries and protection against diseases.

Dosage: 2 tablespoons of ammonia per 10 liters + 2 tablespoons of liquid tar soap.

Tar liquid soap is used for better adhesion and prolongation of the solution. Ammonium and tar are excellent antiseptics, they enhance each other's effect, and ammonia additionally nourishes the leaves with nitrogen.

Raspberry care

First of all, we advise you to plant good remontant varieties of raspberries. They delight with a bountiful harvest twice a season. Each branch should be well lit by the sun and ventilated. Then the bush is less susceptible to fungal diseases. And picking berries in the thickets is not at all convenient.

Raspberries are planted only to the sunniest place... There will not be many berries in the shade under the trees. Thickened raspberries also bear poor fruit. Therefore, leave a maximum of 3-4 shoots on each bush. Be sure to dig up all excess growth.

I wish you generous harvests of raspberries and support us by reposting on social networks!

An excellent harvest of raspberries is obtained only if 3 conditions are met:

There will not be many berries in the shade under the trees. A huge green mass will grow, but not berries.

Plant organic matter and some ash can be buried in a hole under the roots.

In the spring, raspberries are fed with nitrogen... You can use mineral fertilizers (urea, azofoska), mullein infusion or ammonia. By the way, strawberries are also poured with ammonia.

Feeding raspberries with ammonia

Feeding raspberries with ammonia carried out at an average daily temperature of + 10 degrees. The soil should already warm up well, otherwise the roots will simply not absorb the fertilizer.

Dosage:

2-3 tablespoons of ammonia per 10 liters of water.

Watering raspberries with a solution of ammonia is necessary at the root, the consumption per plant is 5 liters. Water directly over the mulch. Tandem mulch + watering with ammonia makes the soil loose, fertile, constantly moist. Mulch attracts a huge number of worms, which gradually transform green organic matter into vermicompost.

Ammonia, ash and mulch will increase the yield of raspberries

Raspberry loves organic... An excellent harvest is obtained after watering with green fertilizers (infusion of nettle or other weeds) before flowering.

Raspberries need a lot of potassium... A glass of wood ash is poured under each bush in the spring and slightly embedded in the ground.

Mulch is a complementary food, weed control, an excellent way to retain moisture and prevent fungal diseases. Grass, weeds, straw and other plant residues are used as mulch. Never leave the soil bare under the raspberries.

Spraying raspberries with ammonia from diseases and pests

In early spring, traditionally, raspberries are sprayed for diseases with Bordeaux mixture, Topaz or Fitosporin. These drugs are quite effective.

But there is an even easier and cheaper way - ammonia. It is both a foliar feeding of raspberries and protection against diseases.

Spray raspberries with ammonia we recommend three times per season: at the beginning of the growing season, before flowering and after harvest.

Dosage:

2 tablespoons of ammonia per 10 liters + 2 tablespoons of liquid tar soap.

Tar liquid soap used for better adhesion and prolongation of the action of the solution. Ammonium and tar are excellent antiseptics, they enhance each other's effect, and ammonia additionally nourishes the leaves with nitrogen.

Important: each branch of raspberries should be well lit by the sun and ventilated. Then the bush is less susceptible to fungal diseases. And picking berries in the thickets is not at all convenient.

Thickened raspberries do not bear fruit well. Therefore, leave a maximum of 3-4 shoots on each bush. Be sure to dig up all excess growth.
