What a joy when we bring the garden with a bucket full of this heavenly delicious berries and it is very sad when our Pets are depressed. Know if somewhere some Bush fell — all the sleepless nights, the mood is missing, all thoughts in the garden near this miserable plant. But that was before, when I was just starting to grow wild strawberries, and now a similar phenomenon immediately makes me dive into my vegetable garden first aid kit and immediately take action.
Pests SlugsSnails devoid of shells capable of inflicting serious damage to strawberry plantations. In the period of harvest of the colony of slugs for a few hours can destroy up to 20% of the harvest
In addition, in hot weather, these voracious mollusks hide in thickets of plants, under rocks, wooden planks, tapes, and if the area they have nowhere to hide, they find shelter under ground parts of plants, and sometimes penetrating into the earth, plant roots, leading to wilting. In appearance the plants, scared to shout, What to do, it's verticillus?! And here and there. This is the work of slugs. When I dug up this plant — I was horrified! The whole root system was just hampered by these pests, and of course the plant has suffered and died.

Sprayed from poliestera around the plants, trying not to fall on plants. With slugs you can handle Opalev the soil around the plants with lime-pushonkoj, but this is before the first irrigation. As a barrier to slugs can serve crumbled charcoal but not for long. You can try to set traps: the plot to lay out the pieces of wooden planks, wet rags, but a response you can use when You have a small area, with large spaces to fight, collecting slugs is simply not realistic.
The mole cricket is a Large insect that feeds on the young roots of the plants, which leads the latter to death. He lives in a warm, well-lit, moist soils, it is basically an underground life.
Control measures
Today there are a large number of insecticides that are able to overcome this voracious insect is the Bane of cooking porridge, which we are patching up between the plants and pellets for sealing pure and spilling. But I, as a mother and as a person who protects mother — earth, to such "heavy artillery" is not running. Beautiful proven method is the incorporation of finely chopped raw fish around the plants, the row spacing and at the locations of the compost heaps. Fish, upon decomposition, emit an unpleasant odor and insects do not like it. Also very effective are traps. The neck 3-liter cans lubricates honey, a quarter filled with water and bury the neck in the ground. On the same principle and make traps with beer. Don't know what attracts Medvedkov beer, but in the morning, "harvest" is impressive. It is important to know that traps should be set in early spring, before the period of reproduction of the pest.
Nematode Nematode is a transparent worm, long up to 1 mm, which causes swelling of the stems, the veins of the plant, petioles. The damaged part of the curve, thicken, shorten, plants are stunted, the berries become deformed, lose their sugar content. The leaves of the plants turn brown and die.
Control measures:
Unfortunately, sick plant can not be saved, dug out and burned, the place is disinfected Nimetazepam or Nematodirus again — this is a very strong drugs, but unfortunately, the nematode is to fight the natural ways is impossible, except as a preventive measure around the beds with strawberries planted calendula and marigolds.
To avoid this problem, you must maintain a crop rotation of 4-5 years, and the planting of healthy, aged in HUMATE potassium (just in case) seedlings. Strawberry mite mite Transparent small size, length to 0.2 mm, not visible to the naked eye. Feed on the juice of young plants, which then shrivel, becoming yellowish, oily hue, and then die. Berry becomes ugly and sour. Strawberry mite hygrophilous, strongly propagated in areas with warm weather and abundant irrigation.
Control measures
Planting only healthy and Mature in HUMATE potassium planting material. For partial destruction of suitable products: Keltan, Malathion, Apollo the instructions, but I will remind you that it is a heavy pesticides and will offer biological products: Guapsin, Ectopic, Naturgard and Actellic. The herbal remedies should treat the plants 1 time every 10 days throughout the season. Disease strawberryMarsonia (Brown spotting) One of the main diseases of strawberry, which develops mainly in late summer and infects the leaves, and often stalks of plants. It is a fungal disease that grows well at high humidity and low temperature. Extends from the deposition of condensed moisture, leaf infection occurs mostly from the bottom.
Control measures
Use varieties resistant to blights. If the sick plant, remove the affected leaves and burn and mustache. Before flowering and after harvest, plants to be treated with Bordeaux liquid 1%, or mixture of Topaz — follow instructions. Of biologics effective — Ectopic, fitosporin, Guapsin. Spraying with biopreparations conduct every 10 days. Fusarium deeper This disease is fungal in nature. Signs of Fusarium: in the beginning the disease is very similar to the chlorosis — the leaves turn pale, the stalks begin to turn brown, then the outlet of the plant collapses, withers, and dies
Control measures
The affected plant must be removed, place to treat with antifungal drug Fundazol. If the area of damage is small — 1-2 plants, the places of dead plants can handle the Bay every 2 buckets of boiling water, but if the area is large, then there is unfortunately, only chemistry. In the future this place to plant strawberries is possible not earlier than in 5-6 years. To avoid such troubles, you need to observe crop rotation, planting only healthy seedlings.
In this article I tried to describe some of the most common trouble in growing strawberry. Diseases and pests, unfortunately, the darkness Timosha and God forbid that You have not experienced them. For the purchase of the plants tested in nurseries or private traders-fans of the business, before boarding take your time, place the seedlings in potassium HUMATE or slightly pink solution of potassium permanganate for half an hour, often look at your plantings, to prevent the disease at an early stage, preventive measures and all will be well!
