One of the most important stages of strawberry care is treatment against diseases and pests.

Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer, tells us what means are used for this and what should not be used.

How to treat strawberries

It is important to take into account that some fungicides can harm strawberries and even completely destroy the plantings.

One such remedy is copper sulfate, which is used by many gardeners.

Do not use it to treat strawberries in spring or autumn under any circumstances. Especially if the bushes showed obvious signs of disease in the summer.

Bordeaux mixture solution can be used, but it must be one percent. The preparations "Skor" and "Horus" have also proven themselves well.
