How to Save Tomatoes from Phytophthora: Advice from Experienced Gardeners

To date, no industrial preparation can fully protect tomatoes from late blight or cure diseased ones.

Also, varieties resistant to the disease have not been developed. However, summer residents do not calm down and continue to invent their own approaches to combating the "infection".

These are the methods of prevention or protection used by the people.

Kefir

If you dilute 1 liter of fermented milk product in 9 liters of water, then the resulting solution can be used for preventive treatment of seedlings. The composition is equally good for watering and foliar treatment.

Iodine

Iodine is used together with milk. To prepare the working solution, add one tablespoon of milk and 15 drops of iodine to a bucket of water.

The ingredients are mixed and the prepared solution is used to treat the leaves.

And another option for using iodine, but only in its pure form.

To do this, add 4 drops of iodine to 10 liters of water. The solution is used for watering.

It is worth remembering that folk remedies are not a panacea, but only a preventive measure. They are considered effective only if the treatments are carried out in compliance with certain time intervals.
