Long, prolonged rains cause plants to become stressed.
Due to the low amount of oxygen in the soil, the proper functioning of the root system is disrupted. In addition, the nutrients necessary for plants are washed out of the soil, adds the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Ultimately, this creates ideal conditions for plant infection.
To help plants survive the misfortune, it will be necessary to take care of the implementation of several agricultural measures, namely:
1. Get rid of weeds
Weeds are direct competitors of cultivated plants, taking away nutrition, light and air from the latter.
2. Carry out loosening
To prevent the soil in the beds from becoming crusty, regularly carry out shallow loosening, which also saturates the soil with air and reduces over-moistening of the roots.
3. Apply fertilizer
Use fertilizers to replenish the lack of nutrients in the soil during rainy weather. Organic and microbiological fertilizers are best suited for this purpose.
4. Fight diseases and pests
The purpose of preventive treatments of plantings is to prevent the spread of pathogenic fungi and bacteria, which become especially dangerous on such days.
5. Strengthen your immunity
To help plants cope with excess moisture consumption, experienced gardeners use preparations like Epin. Treatments are carried out repeatedly.
