Agricultural technology of cultivation

A prerequisite for proper care of the pear tree is the regular cleaning of the near-trunk area from weeds.

Note. It is best to plant a pear tree next to an apple tree. Placing a pear near a rowan tree will lead to the spread of common pest species to both plantings.

An early pear seedling, including a variety with a high cold-resistance index, when grown in regions with a harsh climate, must be covered for the winter. The procedure for this procedure is as follows:

  1. treat burlap with one of the existing anti-mice drugs:
  • diesel fuel;
  • dust;
  • Birch tar.
  1. wrap the trunk with a treated covering material;
  2. Prepare insulation by mixing some of the straw with the following mice repellent ingredients:
  • black-root stems;
  • wormwood;
  • tansy;
  • black elderberry;
  • red elderberry;
  • elderberry herb;
  • mint.

    Insulation for pears

  1. bury the lower end in the autumn soil by 3 centimeters;
  2. in winter - tamp down with a layer of fallen snow.

How to water a pear properly

In the first months, the pear tree should be watered once a week, in the amount of two buckets per seedling. In the future, the volume of water used for irrigation is increased, and the interval between each irrigation procedure is reduced to twice a month. In the near-wellbore area, it is necessary to create two small ditches, filled with water from a hose. After watering mature pears, the soil should be loosened and mulched to provide oxygen and to prevent crusting on the surface.

Helpful advice. For perennial pear trees, sprinkling is considered the most efficient irrigation method.

How to fertilize pear trees

Note! Excessive application of nitrogenous fertilizers should be avoided.

A small amount of nitrogen fertilizers should be used for the first 3 years when the plant is in the leafing stage. Application of nitrogen fertilizers over the next years may be required if signs of nitrogen starvation appear:

  • stunting;
  • decrease in the number of annual increments;
  • clarification of leaves;
  • underdeveloped pear leaf.

Organic fertilizers should be applied every 4 years. Fertilizing pears with a complex of minerals is necessary every year.

Note. It is recommended to apply fertilizers in shallow trenches, dug along the diameter of the crown, instead of the standard distribution of the composition over the soil surface.

Organic fertilization procedure:

  1. apply the first phosphorus-potassium fertilizer into the trench;
  2. mix the mineral mixture with the ground, avoiding contact of the mixture with the root system;
  3. fill with half a bucket of compost or humus;
  4. cover with a layer of earth.

It is permissible to use fertilizers such as nitrophoska or kemira. It is also possible to add 3 glasses of wood ash to the near-trunk area along the diameter of the crown part. Before the autumn digging, a complete mineral complex is introduced with the addition of humus.

About pest control

The pear belongs to pome fruit crops, which makes it susceptible to the following negative factors:

  • fungal diseases;
  • the formation of bacterial foci;
  • infection with viral diseases;
  • negative impact of insect pests.

Insect pests

The lesions - the leafy part and the fruits, often turn out to be affected separately.

Thus, in order to prevent the occurrence of one of the listed negative factors, it is necessary to take preventive measures.

How to choose the right variety

From the variety of varietal names presented to date, you can choose the best variety for your garden, focusing on a number of criteria:

  • cold resistance (frosts from late October to March);
  • the taste that distinguishes the early summer pear;
  • quantitative varietal indicator of yield;
  • self-fertility;
  • the time of the summer pear entering fruiting.

There are a large number of pear varieties, differing in color: golden, green, pink or red pear, and fruit shape, gastronomic properties, surface structure and much more.

The choice of the required varietal variety depends on the taste and aesthetic preferences of the gardener, as well as on the parameters and regional location of the backyard and what kind of weather is characterized by summer and the first autumn month of autumn in this area. Observing the correct cultivation technique, you can get a good harvest of fragrant and healthy fruit fruits.
