Need of application of autumn and early-spring whitewashing of trees locates in a note.

Whitewashing of trunks and the bases of the main branches of fruit-trees is necessary, first of all, for bark protection from solar burns during the early-spring period. It is better to lead it late autumn – after a leaf fall or wounds in the spring – in February beginning of March. Whitewashing carry out to dry clear warm weather. At first carefully osmatrivayut trees on existence of wounds also grew dull. The found wounds smooth out a scraper from the died-off bark to live drevesiny and at once disinfect 1 % solution copper kuporosa and cover with oil paint. Now it is possible pristupat to whitewashing. Limy milk prepare so: 2 kg of a neyogasheny lime gradually plant in 10 l of water. As the considerable part of particles of a lime isn’t dissolved and naxoditsya in a suspension, gradually settling on a capacity bottom, at the moment of whitewashing a mix periodically vzbaltyvayut.
If whitewashing carry out a sprayer, apply a tip with rather big openings. Rayostvor previously well filter, that isklyuchit a contamination of openings of a spray. Thanks to an oprysyokivatel it is possible to cover with a layer of a lime and smaller branches, but the consumption of working solution at such way of a nayoneseniye considerably increases. That whitewashing better and more long remained on trees, to limy milk "prilipatel" add: on 10 l of solution of 1 kg of clay or 100-200 g of paste.
Release of trees from the died-off bark and posleduyuyoshchy whitewashing of trunks and branches, especially in autumn period, allow to reduce considerably density of wintering wreckers, depriving of them shelters under a bark and in it treshhinax.
Let’s note that continuous processing of trees by limy milk in the early spring (before blooming of kidneys) zaderzhivaet blooming of leaves and flower kidneys almost on nedelyu that allows to leave from damage late zamorozkami dismissed to a flower.
