What to do, a white coating forms on gooseberries. Gooseberry. Diseases and treatments

Seeing a gooseberry white coating on berries, gardeners, faced with this problem for the first time, give up in bewilderment. Yes, it's a bush disease called " powdery mildew". At first, the plaque is less noticeable: an almost invisible “hoarfrost” is visible on the berries and leaves. It's controversy fungal disease, which grow and infect the plant more and more. If the shrub is not treated, the white bloom becomes more and more expressive and gathers into whole fluffy flakes, hitting the berries and leaves. Further, it changes in color - it becomes brown with black dots (fruiting bodies of mushrooms). The shrub begins to lose its shoots - they dry, the berries crumble. The next summer, the disease progresses even more, as spores multiply more intensively, and as a result, the plant dies.

What to do if the fruits of the gooseberry are covered with a white coating of powdery mildew?

If, after examining the gooseberries, you notice a white coating on the berries only at the initial stage, it is necessary to take the necessary measures to stop the development of a fungal disease. At the initial stage (as in our case) the best way is spraying. Active substances for this purpose can be ordinary laundry soap and copper sulfate. Take 20 g of copper sulfate and 150 g laundry soap for 10 liters of water. Copper sulfate is best diluted in not too hot water. Pour the thoroughly mixed mixture in a stream into the prepared soap solution. Laundry soap can be grated on a coarse grater. When spraying, special attention should be paid to areas affected by spores. To prevent the onset of the disease, it is advisable to spray the gooseberries completely (in this case, a white coating will not appear at all), as well as the soil around it.

Gooseberries by their nature are unpretentious shrubs, but they need to be prevented against fungal diseases regularly, every spring. If we talk about currants, then fungal spores often infect its leaves and young shoots, on the gooseberry, the berries are damaged: they wrinkle, dry and fall off. If the shrub is running and your gooseberries are white, the plaque on the berries is already clearly visible, you need to act immediately. All shoots heavily affected by fungi should be cut and burned. Do not be afraid that the bush will not give you fruit this year. But you will save him from an insidious disease - powdery mildew.

Prevention of the onset of the disease

In order for the raid on the berries not to appear next summer, in early spring carefully treat the shrub with the above mixture or use special ready-made preparations for spraying - Cumulus, Thiovit Jet or Vectra.
You can buy them at any hardware store or supermarket.

For the purpose of prevention, start spraying the plant at the moment when the first young leaves appear. Treat with the selected preparation not only young shoots, but also the ground around the shrub itself. The second spraying should be carried out during the flowering period, the third - during the formation of the ovary. When the berries ripen, use more gentle preparations for prevention.

how to process gooseberries. a white coating appeared on the gooseberries. How can the bush be treated to get rid of mold?

Powdery mildew is a type of fungal disease. Mushrooms have one feature - where one type of mushroom grows - there is no place for another - the ecological niche is occupied. In order not to fight the disease, it must be prevented or eliminated by planting other ribs on gooseberries in advance, but harmless. They are constantly available with mullein or goat dung. In late autumn or early spring, we cover the gooseberry bushes with a thick layer of fresh manure around the entire perimeter of the crown. And with the release of the leaves, you can pour infusion of mullein or goat directly over the leaves. Gooseberries are a wonderful top dressing and do not get sick. Yields are large and easy to propagate. We grow a variety of buns - it is without thorns. Sweet tasty fruitful and harvesting is easy and does not hurt.

try phytosporin, these are natural bacteria. not chemistry. works great on all fungal infections and rot and mold, and you don’t need to treat it like vitriol all summer

I got rid of white plaque on the berries like this: a vial of iodine 7 ml per 7 liters of water, spray the bushes.

If you start with chemistry, you will process all the time,

because powdery mildew will periodically return,

if the variety is unstable.

Try Fitoverm, as Elena advises.

Feed heavily with potassium-phosphorus fertilizers,

mulch the soil with straw

(A hay stick, an enemy of powdery mildew fungus, is bred on it).

Bushes should not be thickened.

It is better if such unstable varieties grow in the sun.

every autumn we cut off old shoots. and everything is fine

In winter, I pour boiling water over the bushes, in the spring I process it with Acrobat, in the summer, if necessary, with Fitosporin.

A matchbox of soda ash + a quarter of a piece of laundry soap in a bucket of water. We process until the buds open for the first time, then every 10-14 days until flowering, and the last time - when the fruitlets are tied. Cut off and burn diseased fruits, severely affected branches - too, they will dry out anyway.

Powdery mildew is a fungal disease. It appears with poor warming of the bush and high humidity. It needs to be processed.

Measures to combat gooseberry powdery mildew: apply spraying with fungicides. Before bud break, gooseberry bushes and the soil under them are sprayed with a solution of nitrafen (eradicating spraying). Or you can treat the bushes with a 3% solution iron sulphate(30 g per 10 l of water) or 1% solution of copper sulfate (10 g per 10 l of water).

it's called powdery mildew

this is a complete kapets and it is completely impossible to defeat him with anything. it is better to buy a powdery mildew-resistant variety and plant

this is kirdyk gooseberry, nothing will help

Delete \. until powdery mildew crawled onto other bushes.

Powdery mildew. The variety is probably unstable to powdery mildew, but hurry up to throw out the bush, there are ways to get rid of it and what to do for prevention. Look in the search engine about torment. dew on gooseberries.

Powdery mildew. It is better to throw out the bush and not bother and cultivate the infection with your own hands. New varieties are resistant - look on the Internet or gardening magazines.

A gray-white coating appeared on the gooseberries. Looks like powdery mildew, but leaves are normal. What could it be??

American powdery mildew, treat with Fitosporin, Alirin, Gamair (biofungicides)

well, it's either a disease, or someone sprinkled your gooseberries on you ..

It all starts with berries.

Treat twice with an interval of 7 days. With a severe injury

the snow came down and I, without waiting for illnesses, sprinkled the Bordeaux mixture. with blue vitriol which. the result is good.

Treat with Topaz. Helps very well.

I have the same. First one bush, a year later the second. For two years she didn’t treat bushes with anything - in March she shed hot water with potassium permanganate, then sprayed with Bordeaux mixture, infusion of ash, Topaz, soda ash, etc. This year, again, the berries are bloomed, and the foliage is beautiful. I uprooted both bushes so that they would not pass to others. I will start bushes not subject to powdery mildew, for example, "Emerald".

On the bushes of currants and gooseberries, white bloom, powdery mildew, methods of struggle

Alas, your plants are affected by powdery mildew. This year, the disease has spread very strongly in the Moscow region, causing a huge

harm. development of this dangerous disease promote high relative humidity air and warm weather(17-28°C). Hot and dry weather somewhat slows down the development of the disease.

Now the white powdery coating has compacted, turns brown, takes the form of felt with black dots interspersed in it - fruiting bodies

mushroom. Berries, covered with a felt coating, become gray, inedible. Unfortunately, the time to fight the disease has already passed.

But in the fall or next early spring, it is imperative to cut and burn the tops of the affected shoots.

Prevent development of powdery mildew it is possible only in the initial stage of the disease, immediately with the appearance of a white coating on the underside of the leaves. For

to eradicate foci of disease, plants should be sprayed in autumn or spring with the following preparations: 0.02% topaz 2-3 times with an interval of 10-15 days, or 0.02% vectra (before and after flowering), or 0.2- 0.3% thiovit jet (only on currants!) after flowering.

Other means are used: 1/3 of a bucket of mullein or rotted hay is poured into 3 liters of water, insisted for 3 days and diluted

water in a ratio of 1:3. Then the infusion is filtered and the plants are sprayed.

There is a folk remedy. Take 1 liter of whey, skim or buttermilk, add 9 liters of water and spray the bushes. In early spring, an infusion of wood ash is used (300 g per 10 liters of water). Plants

sprayed 2 times with an interval of 10-12 days. Dry wood ash can be applied to trunk circles bushes (300-500 g for each bush), mixing it with the soil.

If you plant varieties of currants and gooseberries on your plot, resistant to powdery mildew, then there will be no hassle.

White coating on gooseberries and currants, what is it?

This disease is powdery mildew.

This is a shrub disease. Powdery mildew is dangerous for gooseberries and currants. The disease manifests itself on shoots, leaves, fruits. The fruits are covered (however, both shoots and leaves too) with a dense gray or white bloom that does not wear off.

Last year I tried to process it with phytosporin. And this year again the same picture. What to do? do you want to remove bushes?

Powdery mildew. It is necessary to treat.

Powdery mildew - it is useless to treat, remove

powdery mildew fungal disease

Powdery mildew affects many crops. It also happens on weeds. It is better to grow resistant varieties, especially gooseberries and currants. For eradication, try one year to leave yourself without a crop, but to wage a very active struggle. So to speak, eradicate the reptile. But more often, unfortunately, landings have to be replaced. I bought 2 bushes of a resistant variety, propagated. Now there are no such problems.

In early spring, before flowering, it is necessary to spray with Topaz, it helped my gooseberries.

A white coating appears on the gooseberries, as if mold. What is it and what can be sprayed?

A white coating appears on the gooseberry berries, as if mold ... what is it and how can it be sprayed ??

It's most likely powdery mildew. Last year, I tried currant and gooseberry bushes to treat with a hot shower in early spring before bud break. I read that potassium permanganate can also be added to water. Before flowering and after it, try the drug "Thiovit Jet". You can also process "Hom" and "Topaz". From ecological methods - infusion of ash. In general, new gooseberry varieties are being developed that are more resistant to powdery mildew. Last edited on March 14, 2016, 21:09

Tatyana, every year we water the bushes with hot water. Unfortunately, this did not help the gooseberries, all the berries disappeared ((.

Svetlana, and for gooseberries they just write with potassium permanganate. This year I will try, I have not poured it yet. We still have a lot of snow and the frost today is -6 C. In general, old varieties, no matter what you do with them, can still get sick. We refused them. A relative shared a few years ago good grade(green berries), only he was left.

I think you are right. Need to change

It is necessary to sprinkle with copper-containing preparations (hom or others) once every 14 days according to the instructions.

After flowering, treat with soda ash in a soapy solution (take 50 grams of soda and 10 liters of water, soap so much that it sticks better). Soda ash used to be used to wash clothes. First, a soap solution is prepared, soda is separately diluted in water, then everything is carefully combined. If necessary, filter.

There is another substance that is used in Food Industry in the production of cheese and condensed milk, it is disubstituted sodium phosphate. It is also called disodium phosphate or food additive E339. This substance is used to combat gooseberry powdery mildew. And other powdery mildew mushrooms, for example, on zucchini, pumpkin. The powder is dissolved in water and three treatments are done after 7-9 days. At the same time, it is also a phosphorus fertilizer. To process gooseberries, 100 grams of the substance is diluted in 10 liters of water. The last treatment is carried out 20 days before harvest.

Maybe these funds are not so eradicating, but safer for humans. Last edited on March 15, 2016, 08:22

Why poison the garden with drugs when new immune gooseberry varieties have appeared. There are many of them, they have been known for 50 years. No one in the world grows gooseberries that are not immune to powdery mildew. Change and only change.

This is powdery mildew. You can effectively escape from it if you spray it with Topaz, but it is better to do it right away, as soon as you see several of these berries (or leaves). If almost the entire bush is already affected, then Topaz will help little, and it is unlikely that anything else will help.

brown coating on gooseberries, how to process?

Why gooseberries turn brown

phytosporin, you can eat even on the day of treatment, it is impossible to overdose the concentration, several treatments (biological preparation from live bacteria)

powdery mildew .. treat late .. will not help

it’s already kind of late to process, it’s powdery mildew, it was necessary at the first signs (something in the form of white foam at the tips of the shoots) to spray 1% Bordeaux - this is from temperature changes, thickening, etc.

Correctly written, this is spheroteca, American powdery mildew. There is nothing to save now. Before the swelling of the kidneys, it is necessary to treat it with Bordeaux liquid or something like Topaz, Fundazol. Then a couple more times with an interval of 2-3 weeks. Then there is a chance that he will be alive and well. Be sure to process in the fall. This happens from thickening, from excess moisture, and the main thing is varieties! Now new varieties resistant to powdery mildew have been developed.

your variety is not resistant to powdery mildew, you need to process it all season from the moment the leaves start blooming, the last time in August after harvesting, it is easier to plant resistant varieties

You have an IMPASSABLE DEBRE in the gooseberry, that's why it "blooms". Elisheva wrote to you about soap and calcined soda. It WILL HELP, BUT, collect all the affected berries and burn them. Then process the plants, process well inside the bushes. They are not ventilated at your place, so there are PARNO and all sorts of fungi are happy about this and grow for their own pleasure. After, if there are branches affected by powdery mildew, they will look like burnt ones, but it is better to remove them, they are weak and will only spoil the view. And the bushes need to be thinned out so that the wind ventilates.

you need to process it in advance, for this there is Ridomil Gold, for example

soda ash and slurry to help you

White mold on gooseberries is a fairly common phenomenon. Any gardener will tell you that it is not easy to grow gooseberries on the site, since the culture is often affected by various fungal diseases: powdery mildew, gray or green mold. And since there are no varieties that are not susceptible to these diseases, the only thing that remains is the prevention of dangerous diseases and the active fight against them.

Gooseberry is considered a very high-yielding crop. Subject to agricultural technology, one bush can bear fruit for more than 20 years. There were cases when the bushes yielded up to 40 years, but for this, of course, plants need to be given a lot of attention.

In general, the culture is undemanding, but there are some features that must be considered when planting and further growing.

The area for planting gooseberries should be as lit as possible. In the shade, the yield will be low, the berries will be small, and the bush itself will often get sick.

No less important for the culture is moderate humidity, which is desirable to maintain constantly.

The gooseberry is moisture-loving, but excessive moisture is just as harmful to it as drought. If the plant is constantly in moist soil, rotting of the root neck of the shoots develops, which leads to the death of the entire bush.

Gooseberries should not be planted in heavy clay or podzolic soils - the likelihood of fungal diseases also increases in such land.

For the bush to give high yields, the soil around it must be loosened frequently and thoroughly - this procedure increases the air permeability of the soil.

In autumn, the soil around the bushes must be well dug up and fertilized (humus, compost, superphosphate, saltpeter). During digging, it should be borne in mind that the root system is located close to the surface, therefore, along the perimeter of the bush, the soil can only be carefully loosened, and outside the perimeter and between the rows, it can be drastically dug up.

Weed removal is very important condition for healthy looking plants. Many weeds are a good environment for the growth and reproduction of various viruses and bacteria that can easily migrate to gooseberry bushes.

In late autumn, after the leaves fall or in the spring before the buds appear, it is necessary to form bushes (cut off dry and excess shoots). Excessive density of branches and leaves leads to the fact that the bush is poorly ventilated, moisture stagnates on the leaves, which leads to the development of fungal diseases.

Gooseberries are often inhabited by various harmful insects(aphids, sawflies, moths). To combat them, it is necessary to spray the bushes with insecticides, biological products (for example, Karbofos), and an ash solution.

One of the biggest challenges of growing gooseberries is their susceptibility to fungal diseases. Berries, leaves and even shoots rot, become moldy, which also requires regular treatment of the bushes.

Many problems can be avoided by choosing right place for planting crops. If the gooseberry is planted in the sun, then the likelihood of fungal infection is significantly reduced, since wet leaves and berries dry out quickly from rain, dew, after watering. In addition, the soil under the bushes also dries up in a timely manner. If plaque constantly appears on your gooseberry, try transplanting it to sunny place- it is most likely that there it will begin to grow better and bear fruit.

Mold infestation

White, gray or greenish bloom on the gooseberry is a sign of its defeat by the fungus. The most common fungal disease is powdery mildew. The spores of this fungus are very tenacious - they safely winter in the ground, and in the spring, when the soil is still wet, but already warmed up, they show their activity.

The disease can be recognized by the following signs:

first, the berries are covered with a dense or slightly loose white bloom;
then the coating becomes denser, acquires a yellow or grayish tint;
over time, the entire bush, including leaves and shoots, is covered with bloom;
if the bushes are not processed in time, the plaque dries up and becomes brown;
if the bush grows in the shade or with excessive moisture, the mold on the berries may be slightly fluffy, gray or greenish in color.

The spread of powdery mildew on gooseberries begins from the bottom of the bush, since it is precisely lower tiers are closer to the ground.

First of all, the fungus appears on the berries - this is due to the fact that the nutrition of the mycelium occurs through the integumentary layers of the fruit. Over time, under the influence of wind, insects, spores are transferred to the branches and leaves of the gooseberry.

Of course, the disease primarily affects appearance berries, but we should not forget that in the absence of therapeutic measures, the complete death of the bush is possible. The leaves affected by the fungus curl and dry, the berries dry up and fall off, and in a very humid environment, fruit rot is possible.

Video "American powdery mildew on gooseberries"

This video is about the prevention and treatment of a fungal disease that affects all parts of the gooseberry (leaves, ovaries, berries and young shoots).

Reasons for the appearance

The appearance of plaque on the berries does not depend on the gooseberry variety or the climate of the region where it grows. As mentioned above, the main reason for the development of powdery mildew on gooseberries is a fungus that throws its spores into certain conditions. There are a number of prerequisites and factors for its activation:

high soil and air humidity - in the rainy season, in cloudy weather, with too intense watering, the most favorable conditions for the development of the disease;
insufficient distance between gooseberry bushes - even if only one bush is affected, the spores of the fungus are quickly spread to nearby plants if they are planted at a distance closer than 1.5–2 m;
neighborhood with weeds - weeds are good carriers of infections and bacteria;
heavy soil - dense earth passes air very poorly and dries slowly, which also contributes to the development of fungal flora;
pollinating insects - most often the fungus infects gooseberries during or after flowering, and it is at this moment that its spores are easily carried by insects.

Mold control

The surest way to fight fungal diseases is prevention. Gooseberries should be sprayed at least three times per season: before flowering, immediately after it ends and in the fall before the leaves begin to fall. The last time, before wintering, the bushes are treated especially carefully, since the fungus will fall into the ground with fallen leaves, and in the spring it will manifest itself again. Spores are perfectly preserved in dry foliage, so after falling it must be collected and burned.

If powdery mildew nevertheless appeared on the gooseberry, then there are several ways to deal with it, which will be described later.

Spraying with a solution of soap and copper sulfate. In 10 liters of water, it is necessary to dissolve 20 g of vitriol and 100–150 g of laundry soap. Technically, making such a solution is not easy, since both components are poorly soluble in water. So that the soap dissolves quickly, it must be grated. Vitriol is stirred in hot water and only then poured into a soapy solution.

Fungicide treatment. Before flowering and during it, gooseberries can be sprayed with special preparations against powdery mildew (Topaz, Vectra, Cumulus). When processing, it is very important to follow the dosage indicated in the instructions.

Tillage around the bush. You can prevent the appearance of mold on gooseberries if, in advance, before the appearance of the buds, pour the earth around the bush with a solution of vitriol (10–15 g / 5–7 l of water). More in a natural way to prevent plaque on the berries is a solution of soap and baking soda(2 tablespoons of soda, 50 g of soap / 10 liters of water). Soda solution can not only water the ground, but also spray the plant itself.

Spraying with a solution of soda and aspirin. For a working solution, you need to take 1 tablespoon of soda, liquid soap and vegetable oil, 1 tablet of aspirin and mix it all in 5 liters of water. This solution can be used to treat gooseberries throughout the spring-summer period with an interval between sprayings of 2 weeks.

Treatment of bushes and soil with a solution of ash. furnace ash(2 kg) you need to fill with water (10 l), mix and boil for 30 minutes. The cooled solution is filtered and sprayed on the bushes from the end of May, when the flowers begin to bloom, and until mid-June, until the ovaries form. The rest of the solution is watered around the bushes.

Kefir or sour milk. The product is diluted with water in the ratio of 1 liter of kefir (milk) to 9 liters of water and the bushes are sprayed with the product three times with a break of 3 days from the moment when the inflorescences begin to bloom on the gooseberries.

Infusion onion peel. Dried husk (200 g) is poured with boiling water (10 l) and infused for 2 days. The resulting infusion is sprayed with bushes before and after flowering, and then late autumn when the gooseberry leaves turned yellow.

Liquid mullein. For 3 parts of water, you need to take 1 part of manure, stir and infuse for 3 days. Then strain the resulting solution, dilute with water to a volume of 10 liters and treat the bushes three times: before and after flowering, and also before the leaves fall.

These simple recipes or ready-made products will help restore health to your gooseberries. However, try not to let the fruits become covered with bloom, carry out preventive maintenance in time, and then the bushes will delight you with delicious berries every summer.

Gooseberry is one of the most common plants in our region, giving a rich harvest of delicious fruits filled with vitamins and saturated acids. But, like any other plant, it is often affected by various diseases, including very dangerous ones, such as powdery mildew. Today we will talk about the most effective measures to combat unpleasant white bloom on gooseberries and when to spray it.

Powdery mildew: general information, main features

Powdery mildew is an extremely dangerous fungal disease for gooseberries, the causative agent of which is several types of fungus. Danger this disease that the damaged plant not only loses its decorative look, but also becomes practically incapacitated: the parts of the plant affected by the disease turn black and die, and the inflorescences do not form ovaries. The disease affects negatively even those plants that were only slightly affected by it: shoots and buds will become less resistant to cold, which will lead to their complete freezing with the onset of winter.

Most often, the disease manifests itself in early summer, when spores come out of the fungus. The rapid development of this disease is facilitated to a large extent by hot weather with a lack of precipitation and the presence of sharp temperature fluctuations. Powdery mildew spores spread with the help of wind or water spray when watering gooseberries and even when a diseased plant comes into contact with a healthy one.

Powdery mildew on gooseberries

You can recognize powdery mildew by the following signs:

On the leaves, shoots and even gooseberry fruits, a white loose coating appears, outwardly resembling a layer of flour. Over time, it turns into a yellowish-brown film, which dries up and becomes a crusty dense formation. It is worth noting that the disease is extremely rare on gooseberry leaves (this pattern is more often observed on currant bushes).
The fruits of the plant begin to change their shape, gradually decrease in size, stop developing and eventually simply dry out.
Gooseberry shoots begin to bend, their ends darken and gradually die off, and the leaves curl up and dry out.

Advice. Powdery mildew develops on gooseberries at an incredible speed, so it is necessary to carry out a set of measures to destroy it when the first symptoms appear, otherwise it can destroy not only the affected plant, but also spread to nearby growing ones.

Disease control methods

When symptoms of the disease appear, the first step is to destroy the parts of the gooseberry affected by the disease, and after that, proceed with the treatment of the plant with chemicals or natural solutions (at your discretion). Below are some of the most effective methods fight the disease.

The best folk remedies

There are many recipes for "confronting" powdery mildew, we will consider some of the most effective:

To create a solution, we need about 3 kg of wood ash and a bucket of water. The ash is poured with very hot water and infused for a day. After that, the solution must be filtered and treated with bushes before flowering and after it ends. The procedure is repeated several times until complete disappearance signs of illness at intervals of a week. Keep in mind that each gooseberry bush will take about 3 liters of solution.
Fermented grass. To create it, we need ordinary garden weeds and water. So, weeds previously pulled out in the garden should be finely chopped and then poured with hot water. We use approximately 5 kg of weeds (half a bucket), then fill it to the top with water. Mix everything thoroughly and leave to brew for several days. Before the procedure for processing the plant, the infusion must be filtered through cheesecloth. It is advisable to carry out spraying in the evening.

If you do not want to use chemicals - try folk remedies

Mullein can also be an excellent treatment for gooseberries. To prepare it, you need fresh mullein and water. Pour the mullein into a bucket (1/3 is enough) and fill it to the top cold water. Leave to infuse for several days (2-3 days will be enough). Do not forget to periodically mix the infusion, and strain before spraying.
Oddly enough, even dairy products can help get rid of powdery mildew. Homemade or store-bought fermented milk whey is suitable for these purposes. To prepare the solution, you will also need water. Its amount should be 10 times the amount of serum. The composition must be thoroughly mixed until a homogeneous consistency is obtained. ready mix periodic processing of plants is carried out until their complete recovery.

Chemicals

Among the diversity chemicals for the treatment of gooseberries from powdery mildew, perhaps the following can be distinguished:

Copper sulfate is a magical remedy that helps to cope with the spread of the disease. To prepare the product, copper sulfate and water are used. 100 g of vitriol is enough for a bucket of water. Gooseberry processing is carried out in early spring until the buds have blossomed - not only the bush itself, but also the soil under it with last year's foliage should be processed.

Advice. You can try to reduce the amount of vitriol by replacing it with laundry soap. So, instead of 100 g of copper sulfate for a ten-liter bucket, we need only 1/5 of it, to which we add 150 soap. Dissolve the soap, previously finely chopped. Separately in warm water dissolve copper sulfate, which is then carefully poured into a solution with soap.

The drug called "Topaz" is incredibly popular with experienced gardeners. Spraying with the preparation is carried out in two stages: before the beginning of the flowering period and immediately after its completion.
A drug called "HOM" is an excellent remedy (a kind of alternative Bordeaux liquid). 40 g of the drug is enough for a bucket of water. You can prepare a combined preparation with the addition of some kind of pesticide. Everything is diluted separately in a small amount of water, and then combined and brought to the desired volume with water.

Carry out preventive treatment, so as not to lose the entire crop later

Preventive measures

To prevent the likelihood of gooseberry disease with powdery mildew, a number of simple preventive measures should be taken:

Quality and timely pruning bushes in autumn and spring. This will allow you to form a healthy and developed plant, and it is this that is able to withstand various diseases, including powdery mildew.

Advice. When carrying out the pruning procedure, it is important to remove damaged or diseased branches, which are either destroyed or buried in the ground away from the place where the gooseberries grow.

In the spring and summer period (i.e. during active growth plants) should be carefully monitored for the appearance of affected branches on the bushes. Their timely removal will increase the chances of preventing the development of the disease. It is believed that the spores of the fungus that causes the disease hibernate on gooseberry shoots and fallen leaves. Therefore, it is also important to remove it in the spring as well.
With the advent of spring, when there is no more snow and the temperature is not expected to drop below zero, you can arrange a “shock shower” for gooseberries (the main thing is to do this before the buds swell) with the help of a very hot water. You can add a little potassium permanganate or soda (a couple of teaspoons will be enough). Oddly enough, but such a procedure is excellent. preventive measure against many diseases.
To increase the resistance of gooseberries to powdery mildew, feed the plant with fertilizers containing phosphorus and potassium, but nitrogen should be discarded.

As you can see, even though powdery mildew is a serious disease, it is quite possible to fight it, and even without negative consequences for the plant itself. Follow the tips presented in the article, and you can grow healthy gooseberries that will delight you with a rich harvest. Good luck!

Powdery mildew on gooseberries: video

White bloom on gooseberries: photo

The causative agent is a fungus Verticillium dahlia Kleb . It strikes root system, the mycelium spreads along the conductive vascular system and clogs it with its biological mass. When verticillium wilt stops access nutrients to growing shoots, the leaves turn pale, gradually fade, and the bushes dry up. Affected roots rot. On them, on sections of branches, veins of leaves, with an abundance of moisture, a white mycelium develops, and spores form. The disease often manifests itself in severe clay soils and in low areas with stagnant water. The infection persists in the affected plants and in the affected plant debris.

This description of the gooseberry disease with the photos below will help you recognize the problem in your own garden:

Control measures. Continuing to study the description of the gooseberry disease and treatment, it is worth noting that the response to the appearance of signs of the disease should be immediate. Compliance with all the requirements of agricultural technology for growing this crop, the use of healthy planting material, timely removal of dried bushes with a clod of earth and their burning. At industrial cultivation carry out spraying and spills under the root with a 0.2% solution of foundationazole.

The causative agent of gooseberry disease is a fungus Sphaerotheca morsuvae (Schw.) Berk, et Curt . Powdery mildew affects leaves, young shoots, berries. In early summer, individual spots of white cobwebbed plaque appear on the leaves, which quickly spread to neighboring leaves and shoot tips. Over time, the mycelium becomes denser, becomes gray, felt, and small black fruiting bodies of the wintering stage are formed in it.

The leaves remain underdeveloped, turn brown and dry prematurely, young shoots are severely deformed. Gooseberries do not develop well, are completely covered with white bloom, dry out and become unsuitable for food. The infection persists in the bark of the affected shoots and in the affected plant debris. With the mass spread of the disease on susceptible varieties, premature drying of the leaves, deformation and weak growth of shoots are observed, the winter hardiness of the bushes is greatly reduced and the harvest of berries is completely lost.

Look at the manifestation of this gooseberry disease in the photo, which presents characteristics:

Control measures. Compliance with the requirements of cultivation agrotechnics, planting zoned varieties resistant to powdery mildew, introducing phosphorus and potash fertilizers in accordance with agricultural standards. Pruning and burning of the affected tops of the shoots, collection of plant debris. At the first signs of the disease, the bushes are sprayed with thiovit Jet and fast preparations. With a constant manifestation of the disease on the berries, four times spraying with these preparations is carried out: 1st - before flowering; 2nd - after flowering; 3rd - after harvest; 4th - 10-14 days after the previous spraying.

The consequences of this gooseberry disease and the fight against them in the photo are shown in illustrative illustrations of pathological processes:

The causative agent is a fungus Botrytis cinerea Pers. It affects the leaves and berries of gooseberries. Disease gray rot manifests itself in the years large quantity rainfall and thickened plantings. Most often, spores are spread by streams of water, wind and insects from other plants affected by gray mold. Brown growing spots appear on the leaves without bordering. AT hot weather the necrotic tissue of the spots cracks and falls out; with an abundance of precipitation, a smoky gray coating of sporulation forms on it. Affected berries rot, but their color practically does not change, the berries simply dry out. With heavy rainfall, the mycelium sprouts through the skin and spores form on it. Infected berries, completely covered with a smoky gray coating, fall off. The disease is common on currants and gooseberries, but the latter is less common. Grey dense coating can be observed more often on juicy berries. The infection persists in the affected plant debris.

Look at the signs of this gooseberry disease and their treatment in the photo, which shows agrotechnical measures:

Control measures with this gooseberry disease in the spring are that it is necessary to remove all damaged branches using pruning. Timely collection of affected berries and plant debris, thinning bushes to improve lighting and ventilation. Preventive spraying of bushes with a preparation quickly against powdery mildew, among other diseases, also reduces the spread of gray rot.

The causative agent of columnar rust is a fungus Cronartium ribicola f. grossularia Dietr. This fungus has two hosts. The mushroom overwinters Siberian cedar and on Weymouth pine, causing elongated tumors to form on tables and branches. Spores are formed on them, which in the spring re-infect the berries. By mid-summer, yellow, brown spots appear on the upper side of the leaves; numerous bright orange sporulation pads develop on them from the underside.

With a strong lesion with a fungal disease of the gooseberry, the leaves turn brown, dry out and fall off prematurely. The development cycle of the fungus is complex: in the summer on currants and gooseberries, it goes through three stages of its development and in the fall again infects pine or cedar growing nearby. The infection persists in affected conifers ah and plant residues.

The causative agent of goblet rust is the fungus Puccinia ribesiicaricis Kleb. The fungus overwinters on sedges; in spring, spores infect berries. In late May - early June, convex bright yellow spots appear on the leaves and petioles on the upper side. On them, from the underside of the leaf blade, goblet-shaped aetsia containing spores are formed. Affected leaves and berries fall off by mid-summer, so the signs of the disease disappear. The disease of berries with rust is facilitated by their placement in the lowlands, where sedges grow, on which the infection persists. Goblet rust is more common on currants than on gooseberries.

Look at these gooseberry diseases in the photo, which shows the characteristic signs of pathology:

Control measures. Compliance with the requirements of agricultural cultivation, spatial isolation from conifers and timely mowing of sedges in the areas. Collection of plant debris. Preventive spraying of bushes with 1% Bordeaux mixture or its substitutes (HOM, Abiga-Peak) during leaf blooming, and with a strong manifestation of columnar rust, re-spraying after picking berries with the same preparations.

The causative agent of this gooseberry disease is the fungus Alternaria grossularia Jacz. It affects leaves, shoots, berries. Large grayish-black spots appear on the leaves with alternariosis, which often grow along the edge of the leaf blade. By autumn, the affected tissues are covered with an abundant velvety black-olive coating of sporulation of the fungus. Affected leaves dry up and fall off prematurely.

On young shoots and fruits, the disease manifests itself as oblong brown sunken spots, also covered with abundant olive bloom. The defeat of the shoots and premature fall leaves greatly weakens the bushes and reduces their frost resistance. The infection persists in the bark of the affected shoots and in the affected plant debris.

Control measures with gooseberry disease are based on the timely collection of plant residues. Preventive annual spraying of gooseberry bushes before flowering and, if necessary, after harvesting with a 1% Bordeaux mixture or its substitutes

The causative agent of anthracnose is the fungus Gloeosporium ribis Mont. et Desm. The first signs of the disease appear towards the end of the flowering of currants, while the peak occurs in the second half of summer (July-August). Leaves, petioles, young shoots and even berries, both currants and gooseberries, are affected.

Initially, small light isolated spots appear with glossy tubercles of sporulation. Then the spots turn brown, merge, forming a very large plots the affected tissue. During the summer, several generations of the fungus with a large number of spores develop on the leaves. On petioles and young shoots, anthracnose appears as small gray-brown sores; small gray crusts can also form on berries.

The growth of shoots of the affected bushes is greatly slowed down, premature fall of the leaves is noted, and the yield decreases. The infection persists in the bark of affected shoots and in plant debris.

Control measures

The causative agent is the fungus Ascochyta ribesia Sacc. In the second half of summer, rounded or angular whitish or pale brown spots with a dark brown border appear on the leaves. Spots with ascochitosis are scattered throughout the leaf blade, practically do not fall out, and small dark fruiting bodies are formed on the affected tissue by autumn - pycnidia, in which the fungus hibernates. With a strong spread of the disease, the affected leaves dry up and fall prematurely, which reduces the frost resistance of plants. The infection persists in the affected plant debris.

Control measures. How to deal with gooseberry disease is described in detail in the paragraph about gooseberry alternariosis.

See the signs of gooseberry diseases in the photo, study the measures to combat them and put them into practice personal plot:

Septoria, or white spot, gooseberry

The causative agent is a fungus Septoria ribis Desm. It affects both currants and gooseberries.

Already in early June, small, rounded or angular, brown spots with a red-brown border appear on the leaves, gradually brightening in the center. In the necrotic tissue, dotted fruiting bodies of the overwintering stage, pycnidia, are formed. In currants, shoots and berries are also affected, on which small brown spots appear. The disease causes mass drying and falling of leaves, the buds on the affected shoots do not bloom, and the yield is significantly reduced. The infection persists in the bark of affected shoots and in plant debris.

Control measures the same as against gooseberry Alternariosis.

You can watch the manifestations of the gooseberry disease on the video on this page: all the main symptoms of the diseases listed above are shown:

Phyllostic blotch of gooseberry

The causative agent is a fungus Phyllosticta grossular iae Sacc . The spots appear in the second half of summer, numerous, red-brown, rounded or irregular shape, up to 5 mm in diameter, more often along the edges of the leaf blade. Over time, the necrotic tissue of the spot becomes grayish and small dark fruiting bodies form in it, but a narrow dark brown border always remains. The infection persists in the affected plant debris.

Control measures the same as against gooseberry Alternariosis.

Under mechanical damage, they mean broken branches from the effects of heavy snowfall, the fall of neighboring trees, construction works Location on. Over time, callus tissue grows at the site of the branch break, and the wound closes. But when large branches are damaged, the wounds do not completely heal, and open, unprotected wood remains. Under the influence of water, snow, low temperatures the wood gradually dies off, the process of drying out of the damaged branches begins.

To prevent this from happening, all mechanical damage is immediately covered up oil paint on the natural drying oil. If the damage is old, rotten wood is cleaned, disinfected with a solution of copper sulfate and then covered with oil paint. In the same way, it is necessary to process and cover up all the saw cuts of dried branches after the phytosanitary cleaning of the bushes. Any open wound leads to rotting of the wood and the death of branches. To prevent breakage of plants under the weight of snow, it is recommended berry bushes tie with a rope or twine in autumn and sprinkle snow under the base of the bushes to protect the root system from frost.

Watch the gooseberry diseases and their treatment in the video, which tells about all the main damage, including mechanical ones:

Gooseberry is berry culture, which today grows in almost everyone on a personal plot. As with any plant, gooseberries need meticulous care. It is simple and includes standard activities. But because of the violated rules of agricultural technology, symptoms such as white bloom on fruits often develop.

Causes

If a white coating has formed on the fruits of the gooseberry, then there is no doubt that this is powdery mildew. This is a disease that is fungal origin. It occurs mainly due to increased moisture in the soil. At first, the raid is not too pronounced. It seems as if frost has formed on the berries.

On the video - a white coating on gooseberries:

Over time, plaque changes color. It turns brown with black dots. The shrub loses its shoots, because they become dry, and the fruit crumbles. On the next year the disease will progress as the spores begin to multiply more intensively. Thus, the plant will die.

How to treat

In order to be sure that powdery mildew will not affect gooseberry bushes, you should pay attention to varieties that are resistant to this disease. But when the disease is already taking place, then it is necessary to start fighting the overwintering form of the infection, to perform preventive treatments 3 times per season, enhance culture immunity.

It is necessary to carry out the fight against the wintering infection on a regular basis. All eyelids, shoots and berries affected by powdery mildew should be removed in the fall and burned.

And here is how it is worth treating the gooseberry Kolobok from pests, and how quickly you can achieve positive result, specified

Also in the fall, it is required to carry out preventive pruning of the shrub, remove fallen leaves and weeds. The soil under plantings requires digging and constant loosening. Due to such methods, it is possible to slow down the development of the disease.

The video shows the measures to combat diseases:

Chemicals

Use chemicals to combat powdery mildew, it is necessary at a time when the buds have not yet blossomed. The first time spraying is performed before flowering using fungicide preparations. The second treatment should be carried out after flowering and the last one should be done 30 days before harvest. Such tools should be used

blue vitriol

If you use this drug, then it is quite possible to defeat the white plaque that has arisen on the gooseberries. At the same time, copper sulfate is most often used as a prophylactic.

It is necessary to carry out the treatment of the bush even before the growth of the kidneys, and then re-treatment will be required if the problem was directly detected.

If you use copper sulfate for the prevention of powdery mildew, then after the first treatment there is a rather low probability of the formation of this disease.

To prepare the solution, you need to take 100 copper sulfate and 10 liters of water. This solution can also be used when planting gooseberry bushes. Lower the roots of the seedlings into it for 3 minutes to disinfect them and prevent the development of a fungal disease. But how copper sulfate is used for potatoes from phytophthora, and how effective this remedy is, is indicated

Topaz

This drug is chemical, but despite this it is in great demand among gardeners. It is necessary to carry out the processing of bushes in 2 stages. The first time the procedure is carried out before flowering, and the second immediately after the bush fades.

topaz chemical

The peculiarity of this drug is that it is sold in ampoules. To prepare a working solution, you need to take 10 liters of water and send the contents of the ampoule there. Mix thoroughly and use as directed. Even after rain, the protection created by the preparation is not washed off and perfectly performs its functions. It will also be useful to learn about what results can be achieved.

Bordeaux liquid

This liquid should be used to treat the bushes immediately after the appearance of a white coating. You can use the product at any time. The main thing is that the processing is carried out in a timely manner so that the crop can be saved.

Bordeaux liquid

To prepare a working solution, it is worth taking copper sulfate in an amount of 300 g and the same amount of lime. These components must be placed in different containers and pour 2-3 liters of hot water. The container can be any: wooden, enameled, glass, but not aluminum. Now take 5 liters cold water and add to the solution with copper sulphate. After thorough mixing, you can combine it with a filtered lime-based composition. But how gooseberries are cared for in the spring, and what means should be used, it is indicated

home methods

If the gooseberry bushes are not too affected by white bloom, then you can try to use folk remedies to save it.

Home methods are only effective initial stages fungal disease. In addition, the treatment of the infusion should be performed several times, and if it rained, then immediately after it, spray the bush again.

Ash solution

You can get a good result with the help of an ash solution. To obtain it, you need to take raw materials in the amount of 1 kg, pour 10 liters of water. Infuse the solution for 7 days, and shake well before use. It is worth spraying 4 times with an interval of 2 days. Here's how to fertilize wood ash, and how effective this remedy is, indicated

Mullein

To obtain a solution, you need to take 1 part of mullein and 3 parts of water. Infuse the composition in warm meth for about 3 days. Ready broth filter and process.

Soda

This is the first aid in the fight against powdery mildew. To obtain a working composition, you need to take 50 g of laundry soap, grind it on a grater, then add 40 g of soda and 10 liters of water. Spray bushes before and after flowering.

Not worth keeping soda solution as it is used immediately after preparation. But how soda is used from ants in the garden, and how effective this remedy is, is indicated

Manganese solution

To get rid of white plaque on gooseberries, you need to use manganese. Take it in an amount of 1.5 g and dissolve in 10 liters of water. Processing should be carried out once a week after rain. But for spraying, you can use not only a special device, but also an ordinary broom with a bucket.

You may also be interested in information on how exactly it is worth dealing with pests on, as well as learn more about the description of this variety.

Plaque on gooseberries white color- this is most often a symptom of such an ailment as powdery mildew. It is possible to completely get rid of it only on condition timely processing. If everything is left to chance, then after a while you will have to remove the affected bush and burn it.
