Treating gooseberries in spring, before the sap begins to flow, is not an easy task, as a slight increase in temperature is enough for the buds to be ready to bloom.

Premature thaws cause the bushes to wake up too early, which can lead to damage from subsequent frosts.

Today I will share an effective method for processing gooseberries, which is relevant as soon as the buds begin to bloom.

This method is suitable not only for gooseberries but also for other berry and fruit crops at the same stage of development.

The discovery of this remedy was the result of many years of research.

To protect against diseases and pests, I use two preparations. The first is “Hom,” a fungicide well known among gardeners, with a broad spectrum of action similar to contact pesticides.

It is effective against various fungal diseases thanks to its copper oxychloride content.

It can be used to combat anthracnose, rust, and other diseases.

“Hom” can easily be replaced with “Oxyhom,” and approximately 20 grams of the product will be needed for the treatment.

The second component is Fufanon-nova, an ideal insecticide for currants, which effectively combats pests such as aphids, bud mites, and others.

I usually use 4 milliliters of the product, i.e., two packets of 2 milliliters each.

I mix both preparations in 10 liters of water, adding “Hom” first, then “Fufanon,” and treat the shrubs and trees using a sprayer.
