Treating plants with a strong solution of potassium permanganate is a common method of protecting against diseases and pests.
However, many gardeners do not know whether there is a need for such treatment of plants.
Why is a strong solution of potassium permanganate dangerous?
The oxidizer has a powerful effect. And its use in high concentrations can cause burns.
How does potassium permanganate affect plants?
Potassium permanganate is an irreplaceable substance that gardeners happily use in their gardens from spring to late autumn.
Potassium permanganate is used to disinfect soil, as a fertilizer to remove fungi and rid plants of diseases, and also for seed treatment.
A lack of manganese in the soil can cause a decrease in immunity and crop yield.
Is it necessary to water the soil with potassium permanganate?
For successful plant survival, it is useful to feed them with a weak solution of potassium permanganate: 1 teaspoon per bucket of water.
The procedure is carried out after watering the plants with clean, settled water.
Plants need manganese in negligible doses, and a liter of a strong solution will contain many times more of it. Therefore, it is better to use a weak solution for treating plants.
