The yield is assessed as high.

The main growing regions are the Central Black Earth, Lower Volga regions.

Pollinators are needed.

Pears of this variety can be planted in spring and autumn. Landing is most often chosen at the turn of October and November. It is during this period that the necessary rooting of trees occurs before winter (root growth continues until the soil temperature drops to 4 degrees). In the fall, there is more water available in the soil, so there is a risk of freezing the trees, especially if planting is too late.

In the spring, planting begins very early, when the trees of the described variety have not yet entered the growing season and are still dormant, that is, at the turn of March and April.

A distance of 4-5 by 2-3 m is assumed for pears grafted on seedlings.

Prepare the soil before planting. Special pits are dug 10-14 days before planting, the size of which should be larger than the size of the root ball by 30 cm in depth and 30-40 cm in width.

The upper, excavated layer of earth is deposited in one direction, and soil from deep layers in the other. A layer of fertile soil is laid at the bottom of the hole, on which the roots will be located. If the described pear is planted in poor quality soil, a fertile mixture of soil with peat and manure must be used.

The roots should be evenly spaced in the hole, should not bend. Sick or broken ones are removed immediately. Then the seedling is placed so that it is 15 cm above the surface and covered with earth from the second pile.

The soil around the tree is laid in such a way as to form a bowl. After planting, water the plant abundantly once. One Autumn Yakovlev tree takes 5-10 liters of water.In the fall, a protective soil barrier is formed around the tree, which is leveled in March. In the spring, manure should be laid around the trunk, at least 10 kg per plant, so that it does not come into contact with the trunk.

Fertile soils with an alkaline environment are best for planting this variety. Trees should be located on a hill, it is this condition that is mandatory for obtaining an annual harvest.

To get a rich harvest, Autumn Yakovleva needs fertilizers.

Top dressing is carried out only after abundant watering.

Wood ash is a popular top dressing, but it is best used in heavy loamy soil. The optimal dose is 1 tablespoon per square meter. This fertilizer is placed under a tree at a distance of 40 cm from the trunk, the soil is watered abundantly, the ground is covered with a 15 cm layer of straw. You can use dry leaves, needles or cones as mulch.

Phosphorus is responsible for the growth and development of the Osennyaya Yakovleva pear. Its deficiency affects the quality of budding. Lack of phosphorus can be determined by premature leaf fall. It is advised to use the following mixture per 1 square meter:

• simple superphosphate - 45 g;

• double superphosphate - 30 g;

• sand - 45 g.

Fertilizing the planting pit gives the best result. You can make a hole around the trunk up to 20 cm deep, where the top dressing is placed.

Osennyaya Yakovleva has low scab resistance, so timely processing is necessary.

Rust is one of the most common fungal diseases that occur on Osennyaya Yakovleva pears in home gardens.

Sulfur sprays are one of the most popular treatments for many diseases. And also it is worth removing the junipers, and in addition, cut out the shoots infected with the disease and burn them.

For pear rust, Osennyaya Yakovleva should be sprayed with Kuproksat or Kaptan. Processing should be carried out in the budding phase and until the end of flowering. You can only achieve the desired effect if you carry out the procedure every week or two.

Other methods can be used to prevent the appearance of rust on the Osennyaya Yakovleva variety:

• spraying with baking soda - 1 teaspoon per liter of water;

• processing with a decoction of horsetail - 200 g of dried raw materials per 10 liters of water;

• spraying with onion decoction - 100 g of vegetable per 10 liters of water;

• infusion of garlic -100 g per 10 liters of hot water.

With regard to winter hardiness, this indicator is assessed as satisfactory. However, this tree tolerates drought well.
