It seems to us that no one will argue with the fact that folk remedies for treating diseases that attack plants are the safest, since they do not harm human health and the environment.

However, to our disappointment, most of these recipes are not comparable in effectiveness to “chemistry”.

For this reason, it is recommended to use them in the early stages of the disease - then you will have every chance of overcoming the disease - even such an insidious one as rust that has affected currants.

So, to get the better of the fungal spores that have settled on the currant bush, you will need to prepare a fermented milk cocktail.

To do this, prepare a 5-liter bucket of water and 500 ml of kefir (can be replaced with sour milk).

You will need one more ingredient, which is probably in your medicine cabinet – the well-known iodine .

So, pour kefir into a bucket of water and add 20 drops of iodine.

All that remains is to thoroughly mix the healing composition and spray it on the currant plantings growing in your garden.
