Preparing for landing
Seat selection
First of all, special attention should be paid to the place of planting and the quality of the planting material. Give preference to well-lit areas that are 3 m from the home shelter. For example, the wall of your house will become an excellent defender against drafts and strong gusts of wind. Pay attention to the groundwater. They should be located at least 2-3 m to the surface. Shallow groundwater can cause the root system to rot.
Sapling selection
When choosing a seedling, you need to pay attention to several main factors.
- Dimensions. Give preference to seedlings that do not exceed a height of 70 cm. Also note that their age should not exceed 2 years.It is these plants that take root best in the soil.
- There should be no various signs that indicate damage, disease or parasite infestation. The presence of damaged areas can further cause death of the tree.
- The root system must be dense. This will guarantee fast and correct growth of the tree.
- If there are damaged areas in the root system, then it is imperative to get rid of them immediately.
Landing rules
First you need to prepare a planting hole. It is being prepared several weeks before the intended landing. This is necessary in order for the surface layer of the soil to settle. A small (40 cm long) peg must be driven into the hole, which will act as a support for the plant.
The planting pit is prepared a few weeks before the intended planting
Before lowering the seedling into the ground, you need to evenly distribute the root system around the entire perimeter of the pit. When planting, it is important to pay attention to the fact that the root collar must necessarily be above the ground.
If you sprinkle it with earth, then soon it will begin to rot. As a result, the plant will die completely. The seedling should be filled up carefully so as not to damage the roots. After filling up the earth, the embankment is well compacted and watered with 20 liters of warm water.
Care features
Timely watering should be carried out, the soil should be fertilized and dry areas should be cut off.
- Watering, in the first year, is carried out once a week. After a year, the root system will develop to such an extent that it can independently absorb moisture from the lower layers of the soil.
- Top dressing consists in the use of both organic and mineral fertilizers. The use of wood ash, humus or bird droppings is recommended as organic matter. At the time of flower formation, organic matter should be used. During the fruiting period, it is advisable to use phosphorus-potassium substances, which will help the fruit to fill with juice and reveal all the taste. After harvesting, you need to apply a small amount of ammonium nitrate at the root, which will allow the root system to prepare for the upcoming frost.
Diseases and parasites
If you notice that the pear tree has been attacked by aphids, you should use chemicals such as Karbofos or Rovikur. In the presence of beetles on the surface of the plant, the fight against them is carried out using a solution of Nitrofen. You can also host other activities. For example, if a plant is damaged by beetles, experts advise to collect all damaged leaves and burn them.
The main viral disease of pear trees is bacteriosis. Its main symptoms are considered to be a discoloration of the trunk and leaves. In this case, you will have to trim the damaged areas. If you cannot get rid of the disease, then you will have to completely remove the entire tree.
