The agronomist gave advice on caring for branches under the weight of fruits

Agronomist Pavel Laguta told how to support branches without supports under the weight of fruits.

In conversation with aif.ru On Wednesday, June 24, the specialist noted that under the weight of ripening fruits, tree branches often break or bend strongly to the ground, which reduces yields and increases the risk of fungal diseases. In addition to the traditional supports, a garter can be used to support the branches.

According to Laguta, in some cases, the branches are not propped up from below, but pulled up with a rope. This method is especially convenient if the space under the crown is limited or it is necessary to evenly distribute the load on the skeletal branches.

The expert noted that this method should be used only through a soft gasket. He also recommended avoiding wire and thin twine, which can damage the bark and disrupt sap flow. According to Laguta, a wide ribbon, a soft garden garter or a strip of durable fabric are better suited for fixation. 360.ru .

The day before, agronomist Denis Terentyev said that watering and fertilizing will help to get a second crop of tomatoes. According to him, the protection of plantings from overheating, pest attacks and the development of diseases is no less important. kp.ru .

In May, agronomist Elizaveta Tikhonova said that covering beds from hail with film or agrofibre is dangerous for plants — the stems break under the weight of ice. The specialist advised summer residents not to create additional shelters — they can harm the plantings more than the elements themselves, RT notes.

Alexey Kurenin, an agronomist and technical consultant, named the main mistakes in growing seedlings. One of the most common, according to him, is improper seed preparation. Many novice gardeners neglect soaking, although it helps to soften the shell and accelerate the appearance of seedlings, according to NSN.

Earlier, agronomist and biologist Mikhail Vorobyov told whether it is necessary to prune plants in the garden for winter. He recalled that pruning of trees and shrubs is carried out either after leaf fall or in spring before budding.
