Home gardeners can a few simple management techniques to prevent the development of pests and diseases in apples adopt. practice hygiene good Orchard by around trees clean up and remove all dead leaves and old apples autumn and winter is a good start.
Apple trees can by companion planting rights helped werden.Vogel production plants are ideal because the birds will eat the larvae. Similarly, plants such as Borage (Borago Officianalis) and Lavender (Lavandula spp.) in the vicinity of the trees will attract pollinated by bees.
Daisy flowers types are a pollen supply such as gray leafed Euryops (Euryops Pectinatus) and Paris Daisy (Argyranthemum Frutescens) close to gain native WaSP predators planted and you during the winter months.
Species such as wormwood (Artemisia arborescens) have proven for the aroma than you spend, useful for annoying pest insects.Plant directly under the Apple trees - preferably in pots, because you are vigorous grower.
Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus), a soil cover climbing plant can be useful in this way.Build of a biologically active soil with organic methods, so that the soil contains worms and other soil microorganisms be sick leaves the decomposition of the fallen and reduce the risk of infection.
Also helps mulch around the base of the trees in the summer.Fresh grass clippings as seems a mulch around the base of the trees, for example, some affect codling moth numbers.Pruning ends from each split limbs and scratch isolated bark of the trees reduce the larvae cocoon spinning sites within the structure.
Codling moth larvae to dig into the development of the fruit, proper development, often prevents or can make holes and damage, damage the fruits mature., increase more than 80 percent of the crop if not controlled.
Codling moth moths slip during September to October, what if Apple trees blossom are.
A deterrent is tiny pheromone traps that are marked as tents.You are hung in the Apple trees when the first flowers begin to open the male codling moth moths stick to the glue that is smudged inside the tent.
During the winter or spring, cardboard or Hessischer wraps around the trunk or limbs can be placed to Apple.Click the larvae at the end of the cycle codling moth look for a Web site to a cocoon to pupate turn and packs are an ideal place for you.These packages should every five to six weeks and cocoons it destroyed hit is also a good idea, jam jars hang half with a little red wine or port plus water, in the trees gefüllt.Reife moths are attracted, the wine and finally to drown.
