Landing rules
The pear needs to be watered abundantly
For planting a pear sort Alyonushka, you need to choose seedlings of 2 years old. They must be free of damage or disease. The area used for cultivation must contain fertile, loose soil. This will allow air and nutrients to penetrate better to the roots.
In advance (2 weeks before planting), you need to dig a hole. Its depth should be 50 cm, and a width of about 40 cm. Humus is poured inside. In 2 weeks, the fertilizer will significantly saturate the soil with the necessary substances.
After the specified time, you can land. A seedling is lowered into the hole in such a way that the root collar rises 5-7 cm above the ground. This will avoid decay of the root system. After that, the roots are distributed over the entire area of the pit, covered with earth and the soil is carefully compacted. No more than 3 plants should be placed per 1 m2.
After planting, you need to immediately water the seedling with 10 liters of water and mulch with straw and humus (1: 1). Do not forget about the garter of the seedling to the support, in order to avoid its deformation in windy weather.
Care features
The pear variety Alyonushka needs full care.
- Watering is carried out at intervals of 1-2 weeks. 20 liters of warm water are poured under each tree. After each watering, you need to carefully loosen the soil to a depth of 15 cm. This will get rid of the crust that occurs when exposed to the sun.
- Top dressing is carried out in 2 stages. The first feeding, using superphosphate (40 mg per 10 liters of water), is carried out in early March.At least 7 liters of the drug are poured under each tree. This allows you to maintain flowering and increase yields. The second top dressing, using humus or compost (5 kg per 1 m2), is carried out at the end of October. This is necessary to protect the plant's root system from frost.
- Prune. Regenerative pruning takes place in March. All damaged and dry areas should be removed 14 days before the start of the growing season. This will allow the nutrients to form the fruit rather than repair damaged areas. At this moment, you need to carefully thin out the crown so that the sun's rays fall on the fruits.
Pest and disease control
Despite her resistance to some diseases, Alyonushka is often exposed to powdery mildew and scab. To get rid of such diseases, it is advisable to spray with Fundazole (20 mg per 10 l of water).
In the fight against leaf rollers, Kinmix (30 mg per 10 l of water) should be used, which is also sprayed. You can get rid of ticks with the help of Fitoverm, but Karbofos is considered an effective remedy against the weevil.
