The farming proverb says: "If you want to eat good pears, scrape the bark in winter." In the cold winter season, scraping off the old bark of pear trees that have already borne fruit can effectively eliminate fungal spores such as pear scab, ring rot, anthracnose, and pear rust that remain inside and outside the old cracked bark of pear trees, as well as the eggs of various pear tree pests such as the pear psyllid, aphids, fruit borers, and scale insects, ensuring robust production of pear trees with high quality, high yield, and high returns. Scraping must be thorough When scraping pear tree bark, you must remove the old cracked bark, rot disease, pear scab, ring rot, anthracnose, scale insects, pear psyllids, aphids,

The farming proverb says: "If you want to eat good pears, scrape the bark in winter." In the cold winter season, scraping off the old bark of pear trees that have already borne fruit can effectively eliminate fungal spores such as pear scab, ring rot, anthracnose, and pear rust that remain inside and outside the old cracked bark of pear trees, as well as the eggs of various pear tree pests such as the pear psyllid, aphids, fruit borers, and scale insects, ensuring robust production of pear trees with high quality, high yield, and high returns.

Scraping must be thorough When scraping pear tree bark, you must thoroughly and cleanly scrape off the old cracked bark and the fungal spores of various pear tree diseases such as rot disease, pear scab, ring rot, and anthracnose, as well as the eggs of various pear tree pests such as scale insects, pear psyllids, aphids, and fruit borers.

The scraped bark must be properly disposed of When scraping pear tree bark, spread plastic sheeting, burlap sacks, or similar materials under the pear tree, clean up the diseased bark and diseased branches that have been scraped off completely, gather them together, take them out of the pear orchard to an open area far away, and burn them, to prevent the fungal spores in the diseased bark and diseased tissues from spreading again and infecting and harming the fruit trees.

After scraping, apply medicine to disinfect After 10-15 days have passed since scraping the bark of the pear tree, apply a 50-fold dilution of Junduqing or Fubiqing solution to the trunk to disinfect and sterilize. Note that you must not apply the medicine immediately after scraping the bark, to avoid causing chemical poisoning and the undesirable phenomena of dead branches and dead trees.

Scraping must be done properly The scientific and correct method for scraping pear tree bark is: "Scrape large trees until the white is exposed, scrape small trees until the green is exposed." Under no circumstances should you scrape through the xylem, to avoid the undesirable phenomena of dead branches and dead trees caused by scraping too deeply.

Scraping tools must be hygienic All knives used for scraping pear tree bark must be clean and hygienic, not rusty, and not rotten. After scraping each tree or piece of bark with disease spots, the scraping tool must be disinfected and sterilized with a 50-fold dilution of Junduqing solution before it can be used again. This prevents fungal spores from spreading again and infecting and harming the normal growth of fruit trees.
