Care
Planting pears of the Osennyaya Yakovleva variety is carried out using the traditional method. If you adhere to the correct technology, then in the end you can get a fruitful tree. To do this, you need to perform the following care procedures:
- In the spring, it is necessary to prune the tree - remove old branches and shorten the rest. This operation will limit the overgrowth of the tree and branches. Cutting off the branches will help kick-start the process for bud and fruit formation. You also need to remove stems with old flower buds. It is quite easy to identify them - they have a large number of old fruit accretions.
- At the end of April, the tree must be sprayed to get rid of fungi and pests. At the end of May, gardeners start feeding the tree with saltpeter, nitrogen, sulfuric acid. Top dressing improves the quality of the soil, which, as a result, has a positive effect on the taste of pears.
- In the hot, summer season, the plant requires abundant watering, despite the fact that pears tolerate soil drought better than other fruit crops. Do not forget that you need to water adult trees not near the trunk, but where the bulk of the absorbed roots is located (under the crown of the tree and beyond).
- In mid-September, you need to whitewash the pillars. The goal is to protect the pear from diseases, especially from ants.
It is necessary to mulch the soil. This can be done with any materials that are at hand (rotted sawdust, fine gravel, plant debris, and even paper). The soil should remain crumbly, free of weeds and not dry out.
Diseases and pests
Autumn Yakovleva has an average resistance to pests and diseases of various kinds. It is necessary to process your plant in advance for prevention purposes.
Scab
The most dangerous disease for a tree is scab. To protect the pear from scab damage when planting, only first-class seedlings and cuttings should be used. In case of illness, the affected fruits and foliage must be burned, buried or carried as far away from healthy plants as possible.
Another way to deal with scab is by spraying the tree with a freshly prepared mustard solution. To prepare the solution, dissolve 100 g of mustard powder in 250 ml of warm water. Pour the mixture into a full 10 L bucket of water.
Fungal diseases
In addition to scab, there are other diseases:
- Fruit rot. Brown rot appears on pears, which spreads very quickly and begins to occupy almost the entire area of the fruit. To solve this problem, it is necessary to spray the tree with a solution of copper sulfate immediately after harvesting.
- Sooty fungus. It is a dark, blotchy, soot-like coating. The fruits remain suitable for consumption and further processing, but their presentation, taste and shelf life are lost. To combat the disease, you need to treat the plant with infusion of tobacco dust or soap in early spring (even before bud break).
- Rust. Among the main signs of rust damage to a tree are red spots on the foliage. Treatment with Bordeaux liquid or copper oxychloride will help.
- Powdery mildew. During the defeat of this disease, the leaves acquire a powdery white bloom, which eventually becomes a reddish hue. To prevent powdery mildew, it is necessary to remove dried shoots and then burn them. You also need to periodically spray the tree.
In the autumn, to protect against pests, you need to clean the bark of the tree and whitewash it, and dig up the ground around it. This operation is recommended after rain.
