Tar soap use in gardening. Birch tar against onion and carrot flies. Treating berry bushes with tar

Our ancestors did not know what properties pesticides had, but they managed to protect the vegetables and fruits that they grew in their gardens and orchards. Most of these methods of salting plants have been lost for a long time.

Tar can be birch and birch bark. The first is a product of dry distillation of part of birch bark. Birch bark is already a product of dry distillation of young birch bark, stripped from a birch tree. Its production is more labor-intensive, but the resulting tar is clean and has a pleasant smell. They try to use it only for internal treatment and for some skin diseases.

Below we list the main pests of vegetable gardens and orchards, the most common diseases, methods of control using birch tar, its mixtures, and also in combination with other substances.

On an apple tree. Pests - codling moth, hawthorn butterfly.

Apple codling moth. Codling moth caterpillars spend the winter under the bark of the lower part of the tree trunk, which remains in the ground tree trunk circles, mainly at the neck of the roots, in sticks, pieces of humus, and in other shelters. Pupation of caterpillars occurs on May 7-25 (this depends on weather conditions) and lasts 49 days. The emergence of butterflies occurs after the completion of flowering of apple orchards and lasts for 19-35 days. They lay eggs on the underside of leaves. After 5-14 days, caterpillars are born from the eggs, which harm the fruits.

Control measures. Before the butterflies fly out, apply a mixture of tar, soap and water (10 grams of tar, 30-50 grams of soap, 10 liters of water) to the trees and the soil underneath them. Hang small vials of the mixture on tree branches; the smell of tar will repel butterflies.

Hawthorn. Caterpillars of 2-3 instars spend the winter on a tree in dry leaves wrapped in cobwebs. At a temperature of +70 degrees Celsius, the caterpillars crawl out of the nest, each of them eats a green bud a day. After 3-4 weeks, the caterpillars become 4-5 instars. In the last days of May, at the beginning of June they pupate. The growth of the pupa lasts 14-19 days. Butterflies emerge throughout June. Eggs are laid on the bottom of the leaf. Caterpillars begin to appear after June 15th.

Control measures. Collecting winter nests, treating the soil and trees with a mixture (tar, water, soap). When applying measures to combat hawthorn in the summer, this action is similar to applying a mixture to destroy the codling moth.

On a pear. Cherry sawfly, hawthorn. Scab disease.

Cherry sawfly. The larvae spend the winter in the ground, in early spring they begin to pupate, and at the moment the stone fruit leaves bloom, adult insects fly out of the pupae. They cause harm to cherries, plums, bird cherry, chokeberry, rose hips, pears, raspberries, strawberries, and yurga. Females lay eggs on the lower part of the leaf along the midrib in the form of a chain in the amount of 4-10 pieces. The larvae that emerge from the eggs first eat the pulp of the leaves, and then gnaw through holes in them. The larvae live in groups, they have common nests made of cobwebs. First, the larvae live in one place, and after that they evenly attach several more to it using a web, exposing the entire bush a little at a time.

Control measures. When young leaves appear, spray the trees with a mixture of tar, soap and water. After a week, spray again. The effectiveness of birch tar is manifested in the fight against a fungal disease - scab.

On the plum. Plum moth, hawthorn.

Plum moth. There is Transbaikal and imported from Central Asia. The Transbaikal caterpillar spends the winter in the soil of tree trunks and at the base of bushes. And the Central Asian one is in cracks and under the exfoliated bark of a tree trunk. Butterflies begin to appear before June 15th. The eggs are finished hatching by mid-June. After 5-7 days, the caterpillar appears, it feeds on the kernel from the pit, while the latter is still hard, and later on the pulp, destroying it all so that after this there remains a dry skin from the pit in the middle and multiple excrement between them.

Control measures. Before the butterflies start to emerge, treat the plants with a mixture of tar, soap and water (10 grams of tar, 50 grams of soap, 10 liters of water). The disease is hole spotting in stone fruits.

On the cherry tree. Hawthorn, plum moth, bird cherry weevil. The disease is cherry curl.

The bird cherry weevil is a beetle whose length is 4-4.5 millimeters, its color is grayish-brown. The beetles eat the leaves around the edges or gnaw a hole in them in the middle. They harm the shoots that are starting to grow, they gnaw the petioles of buds, inflorescences, and ovaries, which can lead to the shedding of these ovaries. Then they begin to gnaw through the flesh, as well as the tender bone, and get to the kernel, which they like to feed on at this moment. Damaged fruits fall or ripen distorted and one-sided. Beetles spend the winter under fallen leaves in different shelters in top layer soil. Females are engaged in laying eggs until June 15 in fruits that have reached more than half of their final size. At the same time, they eat a small hole in the pericarp, after which they lay an egg in the soft core. The larva that has emerged eats the entire core of the seed and begins the pupation process. The beetles emerge from the seeds in the second half of July - August and remain to spend the winter without additional food.

Control measures. When young leaves appear, apply a mixture of tar with soap and water. Spray again after flowering ends and ovaries appear.

From berry crops Black currants are the most susceptible to diseases and damaged by pests. Among them, the most harmful are mites (common leaf mites), rust, powdery mildew, hazel grouse, gooseberry moth.

The gooseberry moth harms gooseberries, black currants, and white currants. The pupae spend the winter in the top layer of soil, in old leaves that have fallen, under damaged vegetation. Butterflies begin to fly out when the leaves are fully blooming and continue until the end of the berry blossom. The butterfly lays eggs in the middle of flowers, in rare cases on inside young leaves or on the ovary. After a week, a caterpillar emerges from the egg in the form of green worms, which, without even getting out of the flower, begin to bite into the young ovaries and eat their contents. After destroying the first berry, the caterpillar moves to the second, connecting it with the first using a web. The caterpillar feeds for about a month, after which it slides down on the web and goes to hibernate.

Control measures. Collection and extermination of larvae, autumn digging. Spraying with a mixture of tar, water and soap before flowering begins.

The gooseberry moth is not the only pest that greatly harms gooseberries. In addition to it, the pale-footed and yellow gooseberry sawfly are often found. These pests are common on red currants, as is powdery mildew.

Gooseberry sawfly. Adult caterpillars spend the winter in the ground. At the moment the leaves open, adult sawflies emerge from the pupae. Females lay eggs on leaves. After 3-12 days, small pseudo-caterpillars emerge from the eggs and collect pulp from the bottom of the leaves. After 3-4 weeks they go into the ground, where they pupate. After 11-17 days, new sawflies emerge from the pupae.

Control measures. Spray before the flowering process begins, repeat after flowering (lye ash from wood, with tar and soap).

Raspberries are harmed by the raspberry-strawberry flower beetle. This is a black beetle, up to 3 millimeters long. Spends the winter under leaves that have fallen and in other shelters, in strawberry and raspberry plantings. Beetles most often feed on buds, eating into them round holes. Before the buds appear, they gnaw through holes and pits in the leaf petioles on the leaves. They lay eggs for more than a month (they start at the end of May) in strawberry buds, and later in raspberry buds. The larvae eat in buds that have fallen off.

Control measures. Before the buds appear, treat with a water mixture of tar. The tar mixture will prevent common spider mites from multiplying.

For strawberries, except for those mentioned for raspberries, it is dangerous strawberry mite. Among the diseases is white spotting of leaves.

Sea buckthorn. Gray pear weevil, sea buckthorn fly. IN Lately the crop is very susceptible to diseases - endomycosis, drying out, scab.

The sea buckthorn fly, 4-5 millimeters long, overwinters (in pupae) in false cocoons in the top layer of soil under damaged trees. 2 weeks after departure (late June - early July), females begin to lay eggs, placing one egg under the skin of sea buckthorn fruits using an ovipositor, in rare cases two in each of them. The lifespan of a female sea buckthorn fly is approximately three weeks. The eggs develop for about one week, after which larvae hatch from them and feed on the pulp from the fruit.

After finishing feeding (after three weeks), the larvae crawl under fallen leaves or into the ground.

Chokeberry. Cherry slimy sawfly, rowan moth.

The rowan moth lives in passages among the leaves and flowers of hawthorn, pear, apple, and common rowan. Caterpillars of 2-3 instars spend the winter in cracks and folds of bark, in the forks of branches, and even less often - under lumps of soil and fallen leaves, in the middle of bushes, one at a time in a cocoon of cobwebs. After the caterpillars leave their wintering grounds, they climb the plants, settling in the inflorescences, fasten the buds and flowers with a web into a nest, in which they eat first the buds and later the flowers. After destroying the flowers, they move on to the leaves.

Cabbage, radishes, turnips and other cruciferous crops are destroyed by the white butterfly and cabbage white butterfly.

The cabbage fly looks like ordinary houseflies from the outside. Fly larvae make their way into inner part the main root of cabbage, which slows down the flow of nutrients into the above-ground part, thereby causing weakness or death of the plant. Female flies lay eggs near cabbage seedlings, often in cracks in the soil formed at the base of the stems. The emerging larvae move to the stem and roots of the cabbage and enter them. Damaging radishes and other root crops, the larvae make their way inside the root crop.

Fighting methods. Add one tablespoon of birch tar to 10 liters of water. Water the cabbage seedlings with the mixture. After 6-10 days, water again. It is advisable to water radishes and turnips with this very solution.

Pests of onions and garlic. The main pest is the onion fly, similar to house flies and cabbage flies. Females lay eggs between onion leaves or near plants. After emerging, the larvae immediately dig into the juicy tissue of the onion.

Fighting methods. Watering the soil with a tar mixture (1 spoon per 10 liters of water + 20-40 grams of soap). Repeat procedure in two weeks.

Pests of table beets. Beet aphid, beet fly, beet flea beetle. They cause damage mainly to the pulp of the leaves. When the first shoots appear, water with a mixture of tar and water (similar to the previous one).

Carrot pests. Carrot psyllid, carrot fly.

Fighting methods. Water the soil with a tar mixture (1 spoon per 10 liters of water + 20-40 grams of soap).

Pests of cucumbers and other pumpkin crops. Sprout fly, 3-5 millimeters long. Fly larvae consume germinating seeds and shoots. At seedlings, the larvae make their way into the middle of the stem, which leads to the death of the plants.

Fighting methods. Water the seedlings with a mixture of tar and water.

Pests of tomato, eggplant, pepper, potato. The main pests are the Colorado potato beetle and cutworms. In the fight against Colorado potato beetle It is advisable to treat potato seedlings with a mixture (10 grams of tar per 10 liters of water).

Late in autumn, when the ground is already frozen and snow has not fallen yet, you can use sawdust soaked in tar solution (1 tablespoon per bucket of water). They are poured under garden trees, shrubs. Mice cannot tolerate the smell of tar and do not harm fruit trees.

To intimidate hares, tree trunks are coated. Add freshly slaked lime diluted in water in a proportion of 1 kilogram to a bucket of mullein, or mix equal parts of mullein and clay, adding 30-50 grams of tar to the bucket of the mixture. Mix everything with water until creamy. The resulting mixture is applied to tree trunks.

Use of birch tar in veterinary medicine.

Birch tar was widely used and continues to be used today in the treatment of certain diseases of horses, large cattle and small cattle, pigs, sheep, chickens and dogs.

Birch tar is a powerful bactericidal agent that kills spore and vegetative forms anthrax. Strongly affects fleas, lice, scabies mites.

Birch tar is used for infectious diseases respiratory tract in the form of an expectorant and antimicrobial in the form of inhalation of purified tar vapors.

Previously, peasants hung an open container with tar in the room where animals were located. When evaporated, the tar purified the air inside the room and the room itself - the animals did not get sick after that.

Also, birch tar was used to disinfect horse harnesses and their leather parts, while the skin becomes softer and stronger under the influence of tar; stalls and care items, in pure form and in 5-10% tar-sulfur mixtures.

For the treatment of lichen and scabies, birch tar is used in the form of emulsions and liniments. Rub them warm (50 C) into the skin of sick animals. The course of treatment is two times at intervals of a week. In advanced cases - three times with an interval of 3-4 days.

Most often used:

Viennese tar liniment (sulfur and tar 1 part each, green soap and alcohol 2 parts each);

Alkali-tar emulsion (tar - 5 parts, hot ash lye 15-20% 100 parts, leave with frequent stirring for 1-2 days);

Tar - soap emulsion (soap - 3-4 parts, hot water - 100 parts, tar - 5 parts, and for itchy scabies - 10 parts);

Tar-kerosene emulsion (kerosene - 10 parts, tar - 1 part, after 24 hours the mixture and kerosene are drained and diluted 1:5 with strong ash liquor, 3-5% soap solution, 5% flaxseed decoction);

Paste for bird scabies (tar 100 parts, soap 100 parts, during production tar and soap are heated to 70 C).

Mucus-tar mixtures (5% tar emulsion in skim milk, milk or mucous decoction);

Birch tar is widely and successfully used to treat surgical diseases of the lower limbs and hooves, which is associated with medicinal qualities tar and the ability to protect fabrics from moisture penetration. For the above purposes, a solution of tar from fish oil is used, which is initially used in a ratio of 1: 10 (1 part tar, 10 parts fish oil), and then 1:20 (1 part tar, 20 parts fish oil).

In the internal part of the body, tar is used as an anti-fermentation and cleansing agent for the intestines and stomach. Give horses and cattle to drink - 10 - 25 grams; small cattle and pigs 2-5 grams; chickens - 0.05 - 0.1 grams; dogs - 0.1 -1 grams.

A mixture of tar with fish oil or sunflower oil(10 milliliters - tar, 0.5 liters - oil) good remedy protection of horses, cows and small livestock from blood-sucking insects - flies, mosquitoes, spiders.

Using birch tar in the garden.

Birch tar in the garden: use against ants

Ants often locate near trees where aphids live. Accordingly, you should think not only about how to remove ants, but also how to keep leaves from aphids.

Instructions for using birch tar against ants:

Take a brush and dip it into the tar
Now apply the substance in vertical strokes to the trunk
It is necessary to obtain a homogeneous layer, as when whitewashing trees
After a while, the ants will leave the area. They don't like the smell of the product at all.
You can use an “ant belt.” To do this, dissolve 10 ml of the product in 5 liters of water and soak in the solution. The trunks are wrapped in fabric
Treatment is carried out once a season in the spring.

To get rid of aphids, use tar itself and tar soap.

Instructions for using tar against aphids:

Grind 50 g of tar soap in a blender or grater
Fill the shavings with a liter of very hot water. Stir the liquid occasionally
After the flakes have completely dissolved, add 5 ml of tar and pour in 20 liters of water
Mix the mixture and put it into spray bottles
Treat leaves, branches and trunks of trees and bushes
It is necessary to carry out treatment twice with a break of a month.

This solution can be used both for fruit trees and for cucumber, raspberry and potato bushes.

Ticks cannot tolerate the smell of tar, so it can be used if you are planning a trip or ecotourism in mountainous areas.

Instructions:

Pour 0.5 liters of birch tar into a three-liter jar and add boiling water to the top
Stir the solution from time to time
Once the mixture has cooled, apply it to exposed areas.

There are several ways to use tar from mole crickets:

When planting potatoes, coat each tuber with undiluted product.
After potatoes or other crops rise, you need to dissolve 10 ml of the product in a bucket of water
Bushes are sprayed with this solution. Treatment is carried out in May, once

This method has been used since time immemorial and is completely safe.

Instructions:

Cut small pegs from wood, 20 cm long and 4 cm in diameter
Coat the wood completely with the product.
Drive pegs throughout the entire area at a distance of 3-4 m from each other.
If pests appear in the area over time, simply apply a new portion of tar to the pegs

There are several options for using tar against mosquitoes and midges. The easiest way is to dissolve 5 ml of the product in 2 liters of water and lubricate the body with it. But in this case the smell evaporates very quickly, so it is better to use oils. For this 100 g butter Melt in a small saucepan, submerging it in hot water. Add 1 ml of tar and stir. Cool the mixture. Now simply apply the frozen mass to your wrists, neck and legs.

You can purchase the product at any pharmacy. In addition, there are sellers who sell the product in large container: barrels or cans.

How to make birch tar?

The process of obtaining tar is quite labor-intensive. It is prepared from birch bark by cutting off the air supply and heating.

Instructions for making tar:

You need a large saucepan and a cast iron kettle with a capacity of 10 liters
The pan should be larger in diameter than the kettle. Make a hole in the pot with a diameter of 4 cm and insert a tube into it
Fill the space between the pan and the cast iron with firewood. Place birch chips and birch bark inside the pot. The raw materials must be dried first
Now place a frying pan on top and a weight on it
Light the wood. Thus, pressure will appear inside the boiler and the temperature will increase
It will take 3-4 hours to get the tar
Please note that the space between the pot and the frying pan needs to be covered with clay from time to time, this will prevent some of the tar from evaporating

make birch tar

These means do not differ significantly from each other. Birch bark tar is prepared from the upper and dried bark by dry distillation. In addition to bark, birch tar may contain branches and logs of other plants. The difference lies in the concentration of aromatic substances. Of course, the purest is considered to be the tar obtained from young birch bark, immediately after cutting down the trees.

Birch tar is a unique and inexpensive remedy that is used to treat many ailments. In addition, the product can be used to treat trees and bushes. This will protect them from pests.

VIDEO: Using tar in the garden

The use of birch tar to protect plants in summer cottages and gardening areas in vegetable growing and horticulture.

Our ancestors did not know what properties pesticides had, but they managed to protect the vegetables and fruits that they grew in their gardens and orchards. Most of these plant protection methods have been lost for a long time. Below we list the main pests of vegetable gardens and orchards, the most common diseases, methods of control using birch tar, its mixtures, and also in combination with other substances.

On an apple tree. Pests: codling moth, hawthorn butterfly.

Apple codling moth. Codling moth caterpillars spend the winter under the bark of the lower part of the tree trunk, which remains, in the soil of tree trunk circles, mainly at the neck of the roots, in sticks, pieces of humus, and in other shelters.

The emergence of butterflies occurs after the completion of flowering of apple orchards and lasts for 19-35 days. They lay eggs on the underside of leaves. After 5-14 days, caterpillars are born from the eggs, which harm the fruits.

Control measures . Before the butterflies fly out, apply a mixture of tar, soap and water (10 grams of tar, 30-50 grams of soap, 10 liters of water) to the trees and the soil underneath them. Hang small vials of the mixture on tree branches; the smell of tar will repel butterflies.

Control measures . Collecting winter nests, treating the soil and trees with a mixture (tar, water, soap). When applying measures to combat hawthorn in the summer, this action is similar to applying a mixture to destroy the codling moth.

On a pear. Cherry sawfly, hawthorn. Scab disease.

Control measures . When young leaves appear, spray the trees with a mixture of tar, soap and water. After a week, spray again. The effectiveness of birch tar is manifested in the fight against fungal disease - scab.

On the plum. Plum moth, hawthorn.

Control measures . Before the butterflies start to emerge, treat the plants with a mixture of tar, soap and water (10 grams of tar, 50 grams of soap, 10 liters of water). The disease is hole spotting in stone fruits.

Malina The raspberry-strawberry flower beetle is harmful. This is a black beetle, up to 3 millimeters long. Spends the winter under leaves that have fallen and in other shelters, in strawberry and raspberry plantings. Beetles most often feed on buds, eating round holes in them. Before the buds appear, they gnaw through holes and pits in the leaf petioles on the leaves.

– many summer residents have encountered first-hand the most dangerous enemy of gardens and vegetable gardens. Fruit trees and shrubs are usually affected by green aphids, black aphids settle on legumes, and helychrysous aphids are dangerous for stone fruit trees. Today in the windows of gardening stores you can find a lot of different ones designed to combat harmful insects. Despite high efficiency pesticides, they can negatively affect the quality of the fruit, making them unsuitable for consumption. Therefore, many gardeners prefer folk remedies. One of these time-tested remedies is birch tar against aphids. The following crops can be processed:

(including , and );
and others.

Peculiarities

Thanks to what this tool has become unique and found wide application not only in cosmetology and folk medicine, but also in veterinary medicine and horticulture. This is an excellent biological repellent that repels many different garden pests.

Many may have questions about how to dilute birch tar, or how to spray with tar. Below are the most popular recipes using this unique natural repellent.

Tar solution

Tar against aphids can be used in the form of a solution. To prepare it, take 10-15 g of tar and 50 g of tar per 10 liters of water. The solution is thoroughly mixed and used to spray aphid-infested plants before and after flowering. Treatment is carried out using a spray bottle in the evening hours.

A similar solution is prepared from tar soap. In 10 liters of liquid you need to dissolve ½ piece of crushed tar soap and 5 tbsp. l. tar. This composition should be sprayed on bushes or seedlings damaged by aphids, especially carefully treating the lower surface of the leaves.

On a note!
Tar soap is made from birch tar, so it retains all the healing bactericidal and anti-inflammatory properties.

Tar with ash

You can use aphid tar on trees and bushes. It is mixed with and the resulting mixture is coated with tree trunks. This composition will repel pests and prevent the development of viral infections.

Belts impregnated with birch tar

Apply tar against aphids and ants on fruit trees and in another way. They wrap tree trunks with a wide bandage, having previously coated it with birch tar. This kind of repellent belt is an excellent protection of plantings from pests throughout the season.

Mulching the soil

Tar mulch will help get rid of aphids in the garden. Pressed sawdust is generously moistened with birch tar and poured with boiling water. When wood shavings will increase in volume, you should mulch the soil with it, laying it out between the beds, around trees or under bushes.

You can purchase this unique natural repellent at any pharmacy kiosk.

Before planting, onion sets are soaked in birch tar in order to get rid of putrefactive bacteria and fungi.

Onion tar is a natural and environmentally friendly alternative to store-bought preparations for controlling onion pests and diseases. Birch tar protects seedlings especially well from onion flies.

For 24 hours, keep the onion sets on the radiator at a temperature of 38-40 degrees. This is my grandmother's ancient way of preparing onions for planting.

Peel as much of each onion as possible. There is no need to completely peel off the husks. Only suitable for landing healthy and strong bulbs. Anything that is wrinkled, rotten or dry – throw it away without regret. Why breed diseases and pests?

Use nail scissors to carefully trim the top of each bulb. Of course, it's long and boring. But on the other hand, trimmed bulbs will expel green feathers more intensively than the more powerful the greens of the onion, the larger the harvest will be.

Soaking onions in tar before planting - dosage

Soak the onions before planting for 2-4 hours in a solution of birch tar. Dosage: 1 liter of water room temperature+ 1 tablespoon of tar.

While soaking the onion sets stir occasionally so that all seed material is completely saturated with the tar solution.

Birch tar has antiseptic effect, copes well with pathogenic microbes and fungi. And its cloying smell cannot be tolerated by the onion fly.

It’s also not very pleasant to humans, to be honest, so it’s better to carry out this procedure somewhere in utility room or on the street.

You need to treat onion sets with tar before and after planting.

Watering onions with birch tar

Immediately before planting onion sets in open ground the furrows need to be watered with a solution of birch tar: 1 tablespoon of tar per watering can.

The fact is that the onion fly begins its flight and active reproduction is already in April!

Therefore, it is in the spring and early summer that it is necessary to water the onions with tar to scare them away. If the summer turns out to be rainy, the onions will have to be watered with tar several times. The solution should get onto the onion leaves and under the root.

Dosage:

10 liters of water
1 tablespoon of birch tar.

Onions are treated with tar several times a season. Good effect gives .
