To get a harvest, a pear must be looked after

Watering

Watering in different seasons has its own characteristics:

1. In the autumn period, it is necessary to water at the beginning of September, apply fertilizers containing phosphorus and potassium. This will help to gain energy for young trees to successfully endure wintering. In the spring, you need to water the pear 2-3 times.
2. In summer, the pear also needs watering 2-3 times. The first irrigation is carried out in early June, the next - closer to mid-July, and the final one - at the end of August. During a drought, you can water it in the first half of August. Feeding with fertilizers is carried out with a high content of potassium and phosphorus.

Watering is carried out according to the sprinkler system, when a nozzle with small holes is located next to the tree and simulates rain. After watering, the soil is loosened to provide the roots with oxygen.

Top dressing

Fertilizers containing nitrogen (chicken droppings, urea) are introduced to stimulate tree growth. Stimulation is carried out before bud swelling and after flowering.

Pruning

It is also necessary to remember about the procedure for trimming the crown of the Svetlyanka and shorten the annual growth. With the growth of the crown, the fruits of the tree will tend to decrease in size.

Pruning, like watering, should be done in the fall, spring and summer:

1. At the end of August, it is necessary to cut off damaged and dry branches and burn them. This will help protect plants from various diseases.Annual shoots only need to be cut by one third, not forgetting to leave a few buds.
2. In the spring, it is necessary to remove all curves, vertical, broken branches.
3. In summer, crown trimming is not required. Exception - in case of excessive thickening, you can get rid of unnecessary branches.

It must be remembered that in the winter, the pear can suffer from mice and other small rodents. To avoid this, the trunk is wrapped in a dense cloth, which is treated with a solution. Then the trunk is sprinkled with earth and snow. Strong compaction should be avoided.

Pests

1. Pear sawfly - its larvae are in the middle of the ovary, feed on the core, then move to neighboring fruits. The larva is capable of damaging 3-4 fruits, causing them to turn black.
2. Fruit mites - feed on the sap of trees, which leads to a violation of the water balance, slowing down photosynthesis and premature foliage.
3. Moths - actively devour the fruits of pear crops and lay eggs on them.
4. Hawthorn - destroys all ovaries and flowers, leaving behind only bare branches.
5. The common pear honeydew is a pest that sucks the juice from the leaves of the tree, after which they curl and fall off. Trees weaken and bear poor fruit.
6. Moths and aphids are pests that can destroy a pear tree in a short time, biting into young shoots and leaves. They can eat fruits.

Control and prevention measures in this variety consist in insecticide treatment, cutting and disposal of damaged tree structures, whitewashing the trunk with fungicides and cleaning it from old bark.
