Purpose: Providing control of harmful diseases such as mildew, rust etc. pests such as leaf beetle, crustacean beetle, cotton beetle, red spider etc. which are harmful to the plants and trees in the parks and green areas and finally to help the green areas grow healthy.
Importance of Control: Urban settlements and population densities have necessarily reduced natural vegetation cover. In modern urban planning, necessary investments are made through our municipalities and planting and afforestation are carried out where necessary. Park - gardening, planting and afforestation works are the biggest successes of our municipalities in our big cities.
Large quantities of resources are transferred for planting and afforestation activities in our cities. Large budgets are spent for labor and time for plant transfers, preparation of sites, seeding, planting, leveling work, land transfer projects and applications.
After green area recreations and plainting, the plants are kept under maintenance such as irrigation, fertilization, weeding, pruning. Even thugh all this is done and all expenses are met, all the labor given, and the costs incurred may be wasted in a short period of time if the diseases and harmful factors are not controlled. All these costs and efforts made by the Local Authorities are the investments to ensure that people's lives are more peaceful and happy.
The control against weeds and harmful factors of plants is a necessity for the performance of the functions attributed to them. Weeds in grass areas, walking, sports and other recreation areas cause these areas to disappear and their appearance to be poor.
Control Methods;
Control in Grass Areas
Herbicide application for weeds in grass areas should be performed. Two different groups of herbicides must be used at different times. Diseases such as damping off, rusting in grass areas are seen. These also require spraying.
Control in Shrubs and Other Ornamental Plants
Powdery mildew, rusting, damping off, etc. diseases are seen. Although these diseases do not dry the plants immediately, they prevent the buds from opening in the roses, for example. Deformation of leaves and shoots leads to deterioration of images.
Again, many harmful factors can be malfunctioning in the same plants. These harmful factors lead to serious damages in planting period.
It is necessary to periodically spray these factors separately against the diseases.
Control in Trees
A large number of pest groups are seen in trees, including large, centuries-old trees. When they are not sprayed with the low costs of pesticides, even huge trees can dry up in a few years.
Trees can be attacked by many harmful and disease-causing groups. In the course of the year, it is necessary to apply spraying with the injection system especially according to the kind of the diseases and plant species.
As a result, when the investment costs and maintenance costs of lawns, plants and trees are taken into consideration, the plants lifespan is extended with very little amount of spraying costs and the ugly images that are formed due to drying will be prevented and preservation of the tissues will be provided.
