septoria

1. Mealy dew

Mealy dew or sphere library is a fairly frequent guest.
gooseberry or currant bushes. The initiator of this
gooseberry disease is a mushroom. In the spring there is

How to treat powdery mildew? In order not to threaten the plant
this fungus, should be at the outset to choose resistant to
gooseberry variety disease.

• If the plant is already sick, you can make in the root plot
solutions from elements of copper boron, manganese sulphate and zinc.

• For prevention in the spring, in the period of budding and flowering
sprayed bushes with copper sulfate at the rate of 300 grams per 10
liters of water. Repeat spraying after 8-15 days, and
the last spraying should not be carried out later than 15
days before collection.

• Soda Ash and Laundry Soap. 50 g soda
soap diluted in 10 liters of water. This treatment is done in 10
days

• Wood ash or charcoal treatment. Based on 3 kg per 10
liters of boiling water. Spray the bushes with a solution at intervals of 1 time.
в 10 days

• Bleaching powder. Take 2 tablespoons of funds per 10 liters
water

• Mustard powder. 2 tablespoons of mustard powder
добавляют на 10 liters of water. The solution is heated to boiling.
Boil the composition for at least half an hour, then filter. Process
whole plant and especially young shoots

diluted 1: 3 composition. Bacteria of this solution, getting on
bushes, eat fungus.

• Fitosporin.

All solutions are applied three times: before flowering, during and after
leaf fall.

2. Anthracnose countermeasures

Anthracnose can also affect gooseberries. It is expressed in
that brown spots appear on the plant, leaves are deformed and
twisted. Fruits may fall off or taste
sour.

To get rid of this disease, apply the following
measures:

• Remove diseased branches and leaves in autumn and spring.

• Digging the soil near the plant.

• Sulfur colloid. Sprayed at the time of flowering.

• Bordeaux mixture. 40 г купороса в 10 литрах water. Hold
processing 2-4 times depending on the severity of the disease. Getting started
обработку перед цветением с периодичностью в 14 days With more
severe cases make 1 percent solution.

3. Glass rust.

The reverse side of the leaves is covered with yellow growths that
then move on to the stalks and berries. After which they become similar
on felt raid. The disease usually occurs where
sedge weed present.

To get rid of rust:

• make soil digging,

• removal of thickets of sedge weeds,

• apply fertilizing with potassium and phosphorus fertilizers,

• spraying Bordeaux mixture, phytosporin and
fungicides.

4. Mycoplasmosis or Terry

In mycoplasmosis, the tick infects the plant buds. It is reborn
and the characteristic smell disappears, leaves from five-lobed become
three-bladed, the brush becomes thin, the flowers are purple.

For prevention and treatment:

• remove aphids and ticks with various preparations;

• fertilize plants with complexes containing boron, manganese,
molybdenum,

• Nitrogen fertilizers are not used.

Physiological gooseberry diseases

Also quite often occur with improper care,
unsuitable soils.

Such disorders usually occur on the bushes with a lack of
nutrients.

• So, with a lack of nitrogen, the plant can slow down growth,
leaves turn yellow, fruits fall off. These bushes need to be fed
nitrogen fertilizers, in accordance with the dosages on the packaging or
spray vegetative plants.

dark green and yellow green spots appear, shoots thin out and
insufficient development of the kidneys and reduced plant resistance to
cold weather
