Glue belt against wreckers

Glue belt against wreckers

Pest control of garden is usually conducted by two methods. The easiest of them is spraying by various chemical medicines. It is pleasant not to all owners of seasonal dachas as the chemistry is chemistry. Has a little gone too far in amount of active ingredient – both itself has got poisoned, and the ecology has suffered. The second more difficult, but safe. This performing continuous prevention by means of the different cunnings which are thought up by experienced gardeners.

Most of wreckers use apple-tree trunk to climb it to krone. To take at least yablonny tsvetoyed. In general this insect flies, but in the early spring when air temperature is lower than 10 degrees, tsvetoyed creeps by the flowers and lays in them eggs. After its activity the buds will never turn into fruits.

How to prevent it? The first that occurs, this creation of barrier on the way of tsvetoyed. Special non-drying glue which can be applied around trunk will help with it, that is to make around it the gluing ring. When insects crawls to glue, will not be able to overcome it and to get to krone. 

But such way will do harm to tree bark therefore effect of glue needs to be neutralized. How exactly? Gardeners have thought up so-called trap glue belt. For its production dense paper (newspaper) is necessary. Paper is put in strip. Its length depends on tree trunk thickness, and width about 20 cm. Paper strip it is necessary to envelop trunk as short skirt.

It looks so: the upper part of the newspaper densely adjoins to trunk (she can be tied linen rope), and lower has to depart from bark a little. Glue is applied on inside of bottom edge of the newspaper (short skirt hem). When putting glue it is better to put on gloves, otherwise there is risk to injure skin of hands. That insects could not pass between slots, the upper edge of the newspaper needs to be covered with the garden thief. It is not harmful to bark of tree and will not pass any wrecker. Such way allows to protect bark from glue influence, at the same time the newspaper will close glue from rain and sunshine. 

In the early spring the glue belt reliably protects fruit-tree, doing not pass tsvetoyed, and later it will interfere with the settlement of caterpillars of apple-tree fir seed moth. Besides it bars the way to ants which carry plant louse on plants. This easy and effective way of protection of trees helps to receive good harvest of apples and other fruit.
