MUSCULIŢA GALICOLĂ. Ce sunt umflăturile de pe tulpinile de ZMEUR şi MUR?

THE GALLICOLA MUSCULIŢA You have probably wondered at some point WHAT THE Swellings on RASPBERRY AND BLACKBERRY STEM ARE, as I did last year when I saw the first affected shoots, and the answer is as follows: That swelling is the place where the larva of an insect called the GALLICOLA MUSCULIŢA OF RASPBERRY AND BLACKBERRY STEM develops. This insect appears in May, June and July, mates, and the female pierces the tender RASPBERRY or BLACKBERRY shoots and lays her eggs. From those eggs, a GALLICOLA MUSCULIŢA LARVA develops which begins to feed on the tissue inside the stem. The result is that from that point where the larva is, a swelling of the stem is created, and above that swelling, the sap no longer flows through the inside of the stem and it dries up. INSECTICIDE AGAINST THE GALLICOLE MUSCULITIS Unfortunately, there are no BIO INSECTICIDES, which is why the only effective solutions for combating this pest are insecticides such as Mospilan, Coragen, Movento or Calypso. And although I am not reconciled with the idea of ​​using insecticides, this insect causes so much damage that I will end up doing the specific treatments. If until last year I did not have any affected plants, this year I identified five raspberry shoots that were compromised, and if I do not do a treatment this year, it is possible that next year I will wake up with dozens of affected raspberry shoots. RASPBERRY TREATMENTS / BLACKBERRY TREATMENTS For a complete and effective treatment scheme for RASPBERRY CULTURE, I recommend that you contact the nursery where you bought the planting material - RASPBERRY DRAJONI.
