This pharmaceutical product not only helps people, but also saves plants.

The fact is that iodine fumes stimulate the growth of crops and have a positive effect on fruit set and taste.

In addition, as gardeners note, thanks to iodine, vegetables do not crack, and the risk of fungus appears is reduced.

But that's not all the advantages.

It should be taken into account that the drug is useful in cases where you want to speed up the ripening process of tomatoes and extend their shelf life.

To do this, it is enough to hang the bottles in the greenhouse at the beginning of summer. For 6 square meters, it is enough to take 4 bottles that need to be opened.

I recommend hanging iodine in the corners of the greenhouse.

It is important to remember that the iodine will evaporate periodically, which means that the jars will have to be changed regularly.

A person should not stay in a greenhouse with such vapors for a long time. It can be dangerous to health.
