In a heading To the gardener on a note recommendations about protection of fruit-trees from their damage during the winter period hares are made.
HU, the HARE, WAIT A MOMENT
Last years znachitelyyony harm to young gardens nanosyat hares hares. Podgryzy a bark shtambov and kronoobrazuyushchy a veyotok, cause death of saplings. At weak pogryzax a tree mozhet to remain, but will be otstavat in growth. First of all, hares choose trees of semechyokovy breeds (an apple-tree, a pear), but don’t refuse and from kostochkoyovy (a cherry, sweet cherry, an apricot, plum) and grapes rods. Notable harm they put Osobenyono in winters with plentiful snowfalls, high snow cover and gololedami, i.e. when it is difficult to them to extract a grassy rastiyotelnost, from which they predpochitayut winter crops and long-term bean herbs. Losses are observed by Naibolyyoshiye in sadax steppe and the foothill regions of the Crimea (to 85-95 % povrezhdenyony, again planted, and moloyody, 2 – 5-year-old, trees).
The period of reproduction of hares in different natural klimaticheskix zones is various. So, in the steppe regions of the Crimea in a teyocheniye of a warm season happens to the 4th issues. Limit a chisyolennost of hares predatory mammals (the foxes, the run wild cats and dogs) and birds (crows, soroki, owls, hawks) can. In otdelyyony years the death as a result of diseases is observed. Znachitelyyono to reduce population of hares, in a number of areas, hunters, however, at the expense of a high plodoviyotost and in the presence of plentiful food, hares quickly enough vosstanavlivayut number can also.
From agrotechnical receptions constrain increase of a chislenyonost of hares – a disking and milling of row-spacings of gardens and pristvolyyony circles (the young growth which doesn’t manage to take cover in safe places, perishes). Good protective rezultat the binding shtambov moloyody trees branches of coniferous breeds (a fir-tree, a pine) gives. Over branches it is necessary to tie a dense cardboard, old roofing felt, a sacking or a film. Predvariyotelno is necessary for whitewashing trunks and the main skeletal branches a gasheyony lime or a lime and clay mix. It at the same time zashhitit a bark from morozoboin and a solar burn. Branches of coniferous breeds, possibly, otpugivayut hares the smell. It is undesirable to tie trunks with straw, rogozy, kayomyshy, since in this case uvelichivaetsya danger of a povrezhyodeniye of a bark mice.
Now in speyotsialny shops there are on sale new preparations for a plastering of trunks, seals treshhin, grew dull, places of cuts of zasokhyoshy branches. All of them possess, generally frightening off the efyofekty. Using them, it is possible to do without a binding shtambov that is quite trudoyemyoky action and is rare primenyaetsya in big massifs of gardens. It is impossible to apply to a plastering pure mineral (oil) oils – avtol, solidol, vaseline oil, etc. since in this case can proizojti complete dying off of a bark and wood and, eventually, death of a tree. Quite good effekt as against hares, and mice, gives such idle time priyoy, as consolidation (an ukatyvaniye, an utaptyvaniye) snow under a crown, at frequent snowfalls and high snow cover.
All these simple and beyozopasny for the person priemy will help successfully zashhishhat your gardens from hares.
