Peach trees threatened by blistering, a fungal disease caused by Taphrina deformans, require careful preventive action. A combination of cultural strategies and natural treatments can preserve fruit production and guarantee healthy trees. In 2025, innovative solutions from Bayer Jardin and Truffaut are developing to promote a respectful environment.
Cultural practices to prevent peach blister with advice from Nantes Jardin
To limit the spread of this fungus, regular maintenance and targeted pruning are essential. Precise pruning ensures better air circulation around branches, thus reducing microclimates favorable to fungal proliferation. In addition, removing diseased branches eliminates potential niches for parasites.
The choice of resistant varieties, often offered by brands such as Gamm Vert and Truffaut, is a judicious solution. These varieties, the result of specific cross-breeding, reduce the need for chemical treatments while reinforcing the trees’ natural immunity and guaranteeing optimized fruit production.
The importance of regular maintenance and pruning for healthy peach trees
Careful tree maintenance is the key to preventing fungal diseases. Regular pruning not only stimulates photosynthesis, but also promotes optimum light penetration, essential for fruit growth. In this way, every cut branch reinforces the natural resistance of peach trees.
Experts from Florame and Dauphy emphasize that prevention also involves effective aeration. By eliminating dead wood and spacing branches, you can take direct action on the factors that spread Taphrina deformans spores.
Natural preventive treatments to control peach blight with Bayer Jardin
The use of natural antifungal agents is part of an ecological approach. Copper, recognized for its protective properties, is often applied before bud burst. Properly dosed and recommended by Bayer Jardin specialists, it creates a barrier against infection without harming the environment.
Sulfur, another preventive ally, presents a lower risk of phytotoxicity. Sprayed on during the dormant period, it prevents sporulation of the fungus, paving the way for healthy, vigorous leaves.
As a complement, essential oils such as oregano and garlic provide synergistic action. By combining these elements, you create a solid preventive treatment, supported by recommendations from Solabiol and Fertiligène for a long-lasting approach.
Complementary biological solutions to boost natural defenses
One effective strategy is to use organic products such as horsetail manure. This natural concentrate, rich in nicotinic acid, improves photosynthesis and stimulates growth, while boosting immune defenses against diseases such as blistering. Nature & Découvertes and Promesse de Fleurs promote this method to reduce dependence on conventional fertilizers.
Brushes, on the other hand, offer targeted protection for the trunk and large branches. By incorporating natural extracts, such as oregano, they combat both fungi and cankers. Each treatment is part of a balanced approach, recommended by Truffaut experts.
These solutions, backed by Dauphy’s experience and Fertiligène’s innovations, demonstrate the effectiveness of a natural preventive approach to reducing the impact of fungus. By combining cultivation practices with ecological treatments, you can guarantee a healthy, productive environment for your peach trees.
