- treatment of trees in early spring with special compositions, for example, copper vigorous or burglar liquid;
- lucm soil around the trunk.
If, in addition to the prevention, the tree is still ill, it is necessary to immediately begin to treat it.
Non-infectious diseases
Non-infectious diseases include various damage and cracks in the crust of trees, spins and broken branches, so-called frostsobyins and burns, as well as hollows formed as a result of improper treatment of wounds. Any trees like young and adults may suffer from such problems.
- In order to eliminate them, it is necessary to clean the wound cleaning, to treat it with a disinfectant or a special antiseptic, for example, copper or iron vigor.
