Anyone who has ever encountered late blight knows how difficult it is to overcome the disease.
Sometimes it can threaten the entire tomato crop.
For this reason, experienced gardeners try to do everything to prevent the development of the disease. In particular, two simple but effective methods stand out, says agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti".
Many people know that copper is an excellent remedy against dangerous diseases. The beauty of the method is that it is extremely simple and easy to use.
You will only need to take a piece of wire made of the appropriate material.
Assess the tomato stem. Step back a dozen centimeters from the soil and stick a sharp copper object directly into the stem. After that, you can forget about late blight.
This method is widely practiced by many summer residents, as its results are not long in coming. With timely treatment, tomatoes will be reliably protected from a dangerous disease.
You just need to combine a liter of whey with fifteen drops of iodine and nine liters of water. The mixture is used for leaf treatment.
The effectiveness of products based on potassium permanganate and even brilliant green is also noted, but the solutions must be weak.
